Hubbie back?
Well, we're not in the Grand Slam yet, we can consider a Polak victory 🤣
Hubbie really impressed me in his first match against Kokkinakis. In this type of match, it was not uncommon to see the Pole get bogged down before getting out at the last minute, but here he came out in two sets. Against Hsu, he broke at the start of each set and put aside a few break points with authority to keep his lead and finish. With an almost impeccable quality of service (20 games won out of 20 and 1.45 aces per game on average over his 2 matches), I see it as a sign that the guy feels good both here and in his tennis.
On the triple Z side (for Zhizhen Zhang), what can I say other than that the guy is living a waking dream. Usually a little inside when it comes to playing in front of his audience, his victory in the Asian games seems to have done him the world of good. By getting rid of Etcheverry, he proves that he now succeeds in putting water not in his wine, but in his attacking game. He delays more and learns to attack at the right time. But there he comes across a bone. In a long and complicated match, the sequence of matches can catch up. But it's not really a parameter to take into account in my opinion because the guy is playing in front of an entire country. His country. This additional energy has provoked many exploits in the history of sport. Enough to supplant Hubbie with his impeccable service and his big... ground coverage? 🤔
