Juan Martin Del Potro takes on Olivier Rochus on Court Two on day three of Wimbledon.
Del Potro showed just why he will be feared by the big names this fortnight during a comprehensive round one win over Flavio Cipolla. The 2009 US Open champion crushed the Italian 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 with a brutal display of power.
Rochus produced an impressive comeback to see off France's Kenny de Schepper 6-7, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1, 6-4. It was not the kind of performance which will strike fear into the Del Potro camp but Rochus is an awkward opponent on grass as Novak Djokovic found last year, needing five sets to see off the Belgian in round one.
Rochus beat Lleyton Hewitt at Eastbourne last week and he knows how to make life awkward for the big guys on this surface. Del Potro has struggled with the movement on grass in the past and although this has improved markedly this year, Rochus will test this to the full on Court Two, the infamous graveyard of seeds.
He has won their only previous match, 7-6, 6-4 in Bangkok last year but that was Del Potro's first match back after almost a year out of action with tendonitis.
Prediction: Del Potro in four
