Stanimal against Giron beef

Fairly marked opposition in style, Stan hits harder but in front it runs well, who is going to make the other crack?

Mixed results for Stan in the Davis Cup, a defeat against Humbert then a victory over Norrie, the hard indoor suits him well but he suffers quite a bit on the return leg especially against left-handers. He will have a little more time on the return given the slowness of the courts in Astana but will also be penalized because his shots will hurt a little less. The match should largely depend on Wawrinka, he will be in charge and will make the winning shots and the fouls. Giron is playing his matches but it's average at the moment, he doesn't offer much and prefers to counter than take the game on his own. Really not bad conditions for him but without confidence and sometimes too passive he will have to put in a little more or risk being punished
