Shock in the 3rd round
Big poster between two players who shit in the first round but reassured themselves behind
A quiet round for Korda against Halys, he didn't waste any time and we can make the same observation for Rublev. After a victory each on their side in the 5th to start the tournament this little match will do them good. 3rd confrontation between them and Rublev leads 2/0, the Russian's game annoys Korda! His ability to hit hard on each ball even if the rallies are long really pisses off the American, the fight from the bottom is for me to the Russian's advantage. Korda is capable of doing more things, slicing, cushioning, varying zones etc. but that doesn't mean he will have the time to do it. Perhaps in a long format he will succeed in wearing down Rublev and finally gaining the upper hand over the Russian?
