Equation with 1000 unknowns
Between a Kazak who will be overmotivated to do battle with a top 10 that he took to 3rd at the start of the year and a Dane in full search of stability and his best level, you have to be good at math to find the unknown!
Let's get straight to the point: the Kazak is the perfect trap to take Holger Rune into a complicated match. He is the perfect profile to put a grain in his head and highlight his flaws. He plays, loves arm wrestling and raises his level well on important points. On the Rune side, we know that Safiullin’s game suits him well. It's tense, it's clean, it's aggressive. Shevchenko is not the junkyard dog! Yesterday I felt that the Dane had changed 2-3 things in his game. He is watering down his wine (finally!) by being a little more patient, sometimes a little too much even. He made a lot of crappy blocked returns for example, no need to push the ball either! 😅. If that gets him back on track, no problem. A real test awaits him this morning, let's look at the odds 👇
