Wimbledon Day 1: Five Matches I'm Looking Forward to - Radek Stepanek vs. Fernando Verdasco

Fernando Verdasco Fernando Verdasco of Spain serves during the men's singles second round match against Kristof Vliegen of Belgium on Day Three of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on June 24, 2009 in London, England.

Will the magician, Radek Stepanek still have enough tricks in his book to foil Fernando Verdasco, who is known more for his hard court prowess than his talents on grass?  Well, I like this match up since Stepanek is such a smart player, and Verdasco has the power game to foil the former's tactics.  Stepanek did well to reach the quarters of Eastbourne so should have a good chance of an upset here.  I'm still going for Verdasco though since I think he has the stamina and the resolve to stay longer on the points.

Verdasco in five very tight sets.
