Ghosts

Both players revealed themselves in 2021, making us think that they would be in the top 100 for a long time because their level was so good. But that would ignore the demands of this sport...

Despite their common drop in the volume of victories recently, there is one who seems a little more on his feet, it is Maxime thanks to his two qualifying rounds won hands down 6/4 6/4 each. He is used to the conditions, and especially to the poor quality of the balls according to the return of Richard Gasquet, and that can help on a few points and at the start of the match. Especially since Arthur is "Alternate" here, that is to say he enters the main draw as a substitute and following a withdrawal. This was also the case for Maximilian Marterer, and we saw what happened yesterday 😜. More seriously, I imagine Arthur who is struggling with these slow conditions because I find his game somewhat "arrogant" at the moment. He lacks the soul of a foolproof fighter for me, and added to his aggressive profile, I fear that he will make a mistake a little too quickly. Cressy also has an aggressive profile of course, he's even the only volleyball server we have left. But he builds his point a little better and uses his slice as a great weapon. We can therefore expect a good fight with Maxime Cressy as a slight favorite for me.
