End of the tunnel for Purcell?!
Since the start of his American tour, Max the menace really hasn't been able to do it anymore. He had his hour of glory as they say!
His last match at the Australian: 1st round against Hsu in Shanghai. Defeat of course 😝. But by having won more points than his opponent. He hasn't been bad and I wonder if we can see a return to form. Opposite, the eternal McDonald's with its first-in-class polo shirts and its Speedy Gonzalez speed. McDonald's at the moment it's simple, it's disillusionment after disillusionment. He has felt good about it for some time, but there is a big mental problem. At Korda, he's a guy to LAY whenever possible when he's playing at roughly equal level. He gave us the trick of "I lead seriously and get back up" against Dimitrov, then F. Cerundolo. Really no confidence in this guy right now. Since his defeat at the US Open against Gojo, I think his morale has taken a hit. And Max the menace knows it. He will apply aggressive tennis despite McDonald's counter qualities, and constantly put pressure on him. And big doubts about the level with which the Yank will be able to evolve!
