For a few years Tommy Robredo was viewed as the perfect son-in-law playing in the shadow of the world's top players. But by winning the Hamburg Masters and finishing seventh on last year's ATP ranking, the Spaniard firmly established himself among today's top players. Here in Rotterdam, too, everything is going smoothly for the Spanish multi-talent. His first two matches left the crowd breathless and today he's the favourite in what promises to be a very interesting match against top talent Novak Djokovic.

Querry vs Robredo.- Sam Querry is playing awfully good tennis. Does he hold a chance against a Top Ten like Robredo? Not likely. Tommy is on the top of his career, willing to show the world that there are other Spanish players besides Nadal. He takes it in straight sets.
