Danger for Stan!
Shevchenko loves big atmospheres and coming to entertain the public, with her fiery temperament we can expect a hot match, I can feel it!
Well, Shevchenko qualified for the main draw but wasn't super impressive, that's also why Stan is so low I think. But we are beginning to know the young Russian, he transcends himself when the stakes are more important. On an ATP500 in front of a hostile audience (even if the Swiss aren't crazy) and against a former Grand Slam winner, I think there is the necessary motivation on Shevchenko's side to give us a tense match as he likes. . Stan took advantage of a Gojo with his brain disconnected last week and behind him he jumped against Machac, a profile which has similarities with Shevchenko I find. Both are mobile and play too many shots, Machac is calmer but I don't think it's a bad thing that there is a big character in Shevchenko! The pressure is clearly on Stan's side as he plays at home against a qualifier, not easy to manage even for a guy who has won everything, especially since with his risky game he can't really manage his matches.
