The divine bald at the relaunch?
A little less good for Mannarino, he remains on 3 defeats and takes on the formidable Machac, watch out?
Yes, watch out for Machac because the Czech is poison to play, very mobile and hard to maneuver. On the other hand, we must not over-interpret Manna's last 3 defeats, he lost twice against a Giron on fire and at home in addition (I'm not even talking about the match up which is catastrophic) and behind him he lost against VDZ, another player he doesn't like to play. The content of the matches is not even catastrophic or worrying. And that's all. Are we skipping his entire last season and his good start to the year? Apparently yes since Machac is at 1.55! Ok the guy is playing really well and remains one of the players in good form on the circuit but it's not the confirmed top 20 who are winning recently. His first round against Stan was messy, 30 unforced errors and it didn't seem like the guy was much better either. I'm ok with giving him credit and lowering Mannarino a little but here the Frenchman is almost rated like Stan! I don't find that normal, Manna has a decent record at IW with 10v for 10d, no matter how much I look I don't see a big red flag that can explain why he is rated so high. It's a first confrontation in addition, it's not like the match up was a disaster, given the excitement of Machac in R1 if Manna turns into a wall he can completely explode him and trap him in his own game no ? Either I'm totally off the mark, I'm missing some information, I'm misunderstanding the meeting or something else or I'm aiming right and given the odds we have a good big value..
