Djokovic v Rochus at Miami – who will win?

Question

Who will win the second round match between Novak Djokovic and Olivier Rochus at the Sony Ericsson Open? Rochus actually takes the 2-1 head-to-head lead into this match.

Answer 1

Rochus may have the lead in past matches, but both those wins were back in 2005, with Djokovic winning their most recent match at Halle last year. There is some question over Djokovic’s form coming into this one – he’s developing a habit of getting behind and then digging himself out of trouble. It worked in Dubai, but not at Indian Wells. Still think the Serb will win, but he’s also going to need to lift his game this tournament.
