Bloomfield v Zib
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
A really tough rd1 match for Richard against the veteran Czech 25th seed.
Zib is ranked 139 but this time last year he was 51 in the world. He has beaten Henman in the past indoors but is most at home on clay.
In Jan and early Feb he reached 2 challenger finals but since then he's been on a very bad run...

Alex has the chance to gain revenge tonight for his two DC defeats against Okun. The Israeli is ranked over 100 places below Alex at 257 but he's been in the top 200 [world no 95 in 2002] and that experience has shown both times they've played.
