The American school!

Quinn is the pure American product, tall and good server, huge forehand and forward game, he will need all that to overcome Hijikata!

Very slow conditions on the central and faster on the annex, that's my feeling about the qualifying and R1 that I saw. The schedule has not yet been released but we are 90% sure that this match will be played in the annex given the names entering the tournament tomorrow. This is a good thing for Quinn, the faster it is, the more he will be able to put his game in place! 1M91 and a huge first ball, as I said he relies on his big forehand but has a small weak point on the backhand. For his part, Hijikata moves very well but likes to attack on the second ball in particular, far from being a purely defensive player. His dynamic has been less good lately, after his cruel defeat against Struff at the Australian Open he started in a challenge but skipped in the second round. He now has to fight on a small court without much of an audience against a dangerous and poorly ranked young player, not easy, this story smells like a first round trap!
