Playable for Luca?
After two superb victories in 5 sets, a top 10 awaits the young Frenchman, but perhaps the most likely.
Playable yes because Tsitsipas once again got into a complicated match against Thompson. He dropped a set in his first two rounds but is that really a surprise? Bergs and Thompson have the style of play to hurt the Greek, I'm not really worried about Stefanos who will also have a much more pleasant match for him this time. Indeed Van Assche is another style of play, much more hardworking but less flashy. The Frenchman superbly defeated Musetti by exuding quite enormous calm throughout the match even though he was well behind in the score. Musetti gave him time to do what he wanted, something that Tsitsipas should not do, the Greek will be much more enterprising on the forehand and his serve is much stronger too. Two matches in 5 sets for Luca too, even if physically he did not show a single sign of fatigue during these matches he still left a lot of energy on the court. If the match were to drag on again, I'm not sure the Frenchman would hold up.
