A walk in the park for McDonald's?

Ultra favorite of this match and totally deserved given the level of Cecchinato on grass. It is now necessary to conclude on the ground and assume its status tomorrow

Very good on clay, the Italian has found a fairly impressive level of play while he had been missing for months or even years. He has played a lot and is feeling the pinch a bit with 3 consecutive defeats, I am a little worried for him on grass, I can see him completely letting up. He has only played one match on this surface since 2019 (and that was in 2021) so there is no reason to be optimistic. His kicks on serve and his well-rounded shots with volume do not hurt at all on grass and even if he should use the slice it remains less natural as a surface. He will be facing McDonald, a good grass player and logically in the hard on clay this year. He had still hooked the Italian during their confrontation in Rome, the advantage of the surface will be totally opposed this time and I can't see McDonald getting through.
