Attack/defense

So we have to choose between Musetti's defense and Shelton's attack. My choice is made!

And yes, I think we should not be fooled by the exceptional quality of defense that the Italian deployed against Safiullin. First of all, Safiullin doesn't attack as much as Shelton, and then he doesn't have the same finishing quality. Nor any service for that matter. No no, I think we don't need to do overanalysis here. Left-handed Shelton on a one-handed backhand. The whole audience is for him, there will be a crazy atmosphere, it plays in the night session the way he loves it. He beat Landaluce with a hyper aggressive game that will deprive Musetti of time and that's exactly what he hates. The Italian is stuck: if he moves back too much he gives the angle and leaves room for the drop shots. If he advances too far, he won't have time to organize himself. This is what I think of this match ;).
