Treat us La Monf'!

Have you felt Gaël's rise in power over the past few weeks? The hype is there on my side and it's not Norrie who is going to stop Monfils after all... is it?

3/0 for Gaël in confrontations but only one since 2019 and Norrie has progressed well since. The Frenchman knows the British game perfectly and I loved his itw at the end of the match yesterday where he showed off his knowledge of Norrie's game as well as his qualities and the things that can work for or against him, I already felt in his match and ready to fight. It's true that the British forehand is working like hell in this tournament and the night session would be ideal for Gaël, he secretly hopes so I think! Even during the day, given what the Frenchman is showing, he can definitely win, we saw Norrie's problems on the return against Sonego and Monfils is serving well at the moment, he must ease up on his service games to be able to put pressure on the return . Gaël has the quality of movement to force Norrie to put more in until he breaks down, this is what happened in Buenos Aires against Coria recently and I see similarities there given the defensive aspect of the game of Gaël when he is in good shape. It's hard to remain objective, I see the Frenchman so motivated and in good shape at the start of the tournament that we have to temper ourselves and spice up Norrie a little. I would end up saying that the British is a dog who hates to lose, he will not give up and encourage himself on every point with his "Come on!". In short, a real fight!
