Herbert in the semi-final, the face of the tournament..

Without disrespect to Pierre-Hugues finding him in the semi-final of a 250 while he was in the hard challange that says everything about this tournament..

We're not going to spit on Herbert since he delighted us against Van Assche but we feel that it's the last tournament of the year eh. It looks like a challenge and that's good for the Frenchman who doesn't put too much pressure on himself and has a good tournament. Even if it is relatively slow he makes differences in the serve and with his forward play, it works well. Shevchenko for his part won and that was predictable given the lack of motivation on the Khacha side + the fact that Shevchenko is playing really well at the end of the season. A semi-final which is not a shock but given how the public pushes behind Herbert it will heat us up the Russian who loves big atmospheres and being against the public. Motivation is important in his approach to matches and tomorrow he will respond, no doubt about it!
