This is match from the first round of the Braunschweig
Challenger. I like the game of Rodionov. He is lefty with great serve and
forehand. Furthermore, he can visit the net when needed. He is more successful
on the faster surfaces. In the H2H the result is 1-1. Kukushkin is a veteran and
he likes to play more flat. Mostly because of that Kukushkin likes to play more
on hard courts. This year Kukushkin is 9-6 on clay and 36-17 overall. Rodionovi
is 7-8 on clay this year and 14-18 overall. Kukushkin won the title here back
in 2010. In my opinion this match is 50/50 and I take the higher odd.
