Novak's protégé at work!
We follow the progress of this player with particular attention since it was Djoko who took him under his wing.
A first round not very representative of his level since Djere was injured at the start of the match and was dragging himself on the field. We still saw his primary qualities which are a big first ball and heavy strikes from deep, but I find him slow in his movements. Against Shevchenko we will have to put out a serious and clean match because the Russian feeds off what his opponents show him. The real question is whether he will be involved in his tournament, and when he is he plays really well! His first round shows he moves well, against perfectly and with his fiery temperament he can ignite at any moment. A great clash of styles between two young hopefuls, who will have the biggest?
