A move for Barrere to play?
A great opportunity to reach the quarter-finals for our Frenchman but be careful Shevchenko will fight like a dog until the last point
This Kazakh is tenacious, against Svrcina he found himself embroiled in a trap match and was even down 4/2 break in the last set. Fortunately for him his opponent serves like Errani and was unable to confirm the break. Barrere is much more solid on serve and should be able to hurt with his first ball but we know in the game it's often all or nothing with Gregoire. Great shot quality but little patience, he often tempts winners in difficult positions but on a good day it can pay off! Indoors he often plays his best tennis and I wouldn't be surprised to see him do well tomorrow. A good match yes but enough to win? It's going to be hard, even if Shevchenko remains in two bad matches it was against boring player profiles for him, he prefers to have a guy who hits and hits the ball in front of him to counter him and rely on his ball . I have in mind his indoor victories against Wawrinka, Fritz and Khachanov at the end of last season, good servers with a heavy shot and who are on paper better than Barrere..
