Slight Stricker advantage as the odds indicate? In any case it will hit hard tomorrow

I love the players who come out of qualifying and arrive with rhythm and benchmarks. This is the case of Stricker who assumed his status in qualifying and imposed himself in all his matches, I think. Broken only 2 times (including 1 break that he lets go because the set was lost), the Swiss proved to be ultra solid in the service but it is not surprising. A left-handed sliced ​​service that hurts very badly on this surface and allows him to have very simple and easy game patterns behind his big first ball. Popyrin is also very solid in the service but he offers less things when the exchange is launched, he also has a lot of trouble against left-handers in general. Outside the challenge it is a record of 5 wins for 13 defeats, he is weaker on his backhand and it feels even more against lefties.
