Simon in three sets. 6-3, 6-3, 6-2
Can Gilles Simon continue his march toward the quarter finals with a win over Tomas Berdych? Join The Roar for live scores from around midnight (AEST) following the completion of Caroline Wozniacki and Garbine Muguruza.
Berdych was pushed to the brink in his third round matchup with Pablo Andujar and will need to improve considerably if he is going to match Simon and book a place in the quarter finals. Berdych must control his serves and seek mental strength to win.
Simon has had a great year so far despite his early exits in the third and fourth round at the Australian Open and Roland Garros respectively. The Frenchman could be building towards his biggest Wimbledon yet.
Simon has equalled his best result at The Championships by qualifying for this match, the first time he has done so since 2009. With the draw on his side, surpassing this feat is well within the realm of possibility in 2015.
Berdych and Simon have played each other 10 times, their most recent matchup saw Berdych defeat Simon at Rotterdam in straight sets 6-2, 6-1. Simon has won the majority of matches between the two with six wins to Berdych’s four.
Tomas has a win-loss record of 8-2 in his last ten matches, Simon holds the same record. Berdych’s most recent win came over Pablo Andujar in four sets 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, 7-6. Simon is coming off a five-set win over fellow Frenchman Gael Monfils 3-6, 6-3, 7-6, 2-6, 6-2.
Prediction
It will be a close contest, Simon will just edge out Berdych.
Simon in five sets.
