Morning Line - Saturday, March 8th

Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan vs. Julien Benneteau and Michael Llodra
The court will crackle as these four show off all the athleticism of contemporary doubles. For all their high energy and physicality, pay attention to Bob and Mike's ability to take care of the little details - low returns, smart drives down the middle and crisp volleys. Benneteau and Llodra are a sharp pair of shotmakers, so their best chance will be to take a few cracks and serve big. Plenty of agility, lots of angles - and look for the Bryans to continue their undefeated Las Vegas run. Bob and Mike in two.

Sam Querrey vs. Kevin Anderson
Did you ever think you'd see a final where Sam Querrey was the smaller man? Welcome to contemporary tennis, where the super-sized tall men are making a major splash. Querrey has had a breakthrough week, reaching his first final, sparked by big wins over Sebastien Grosjean, Nicolas Kiefer and last night, Guillermo Canas. His game has matured nicely, aided by lots of off-season work on his movement, conditioning and, by extension, patience. Anderson has been a major surprise. His snappy serve backed by compact groundstrokes and good poise. There's not much to pick between these two. There'll be plenty of unreturnable serves, but also some engaging backcourt rallies. Each can play fearlessly at times, but perhaps Querrey is a bit more irrational and believe it or not, the X-factor of his game and whiffle ball-like forehand could be the telling factor.
