Pavel Andrei. - Schüttler Rainer

Pavel Andrei. - Schüttler Rainer :Pavel @1.83 stanjames.

Doha tournament , with prizes of 1mil$+. A battle between two “ oldies but goldies” , Pavel at probably his last season in the atp tour and Shuttler, aged 31.

Pavel has a 3-0 head to head record against the german , with a victory on clay , carpet and hard. Shuttler was given a wildcard to apper here, since he was ranked 88 in last season.
Pavel is one of the player best known by me, since I have watched almost all his recent years games. He still has power and accuracy , but his age stops him from performing at the same level all match long.

Shuttler has finished well the year , winning the Kuala Lumpur Ch Mayer on the road. All other players were top 200+ ranked.
Pavel on the other hand had some decent performances at the end of the season, defeating Vligen , but loosing with a great fight against Tursunov and Baghdatis, winning 1 set.

I trust my coutryman , and favour him to win.
