The peques

The two dwarves of Moria face each other in Tokyo. Baseline battle at all points? Not so sure...

Although Diego is back in shape, we can't really bet on a high level from him seeing the lack of combativeness that F. Cerundolo offered him. On the other hand, Alex De Minaur had a big match. He was really strong in the head to reach the second round. His aggressiveness and his ability to quickly come to the net give him a clear advantage for me in his match up against Diego. Their last meeting took place during one of the Australian's best tournaments, and one of Diego's worst moments, and on grass at that. I'm waiting for a little more response from the Argentinian here, the match-up really doesn't give me confidence about a possible victory on his part. It's bad to find a value bet...
