Cressy must seize this opportunity!

2 wins in the last 17 games for Cressy, it's becoming urgent to win games..

Frankly affordable draw for the American, taking Shevchenko on a first lap of an ATP500 is a real opportunity to move on to the next round and take a few points. Even if the victories are struggling to arrive, there is really something better for Cressy, his defeats are rather positive. Fewer double faults and a slightly more present desire/motivation, we feel that the hardest part is behind him. It will still be necessary to be wary of Shevchenko, an unpredictable young Russian with good potential. He lacks a bit of mentality and consistency at the top level but remains capable of shining at times.
