Martinez on fire

The Spaniard killed himself as a challenger at the start of the year and now he is reaping all the hard work with successful tournaments on the main circuit, well done!

Happy for Martinez because he went away in January, he is coming back well and tomorrow he will be at the meeting. With his aggressive ground game, he mixes solidity and forward play to overcome his opponents. Everything is going well for him at the moment but his R1 was not reassuring, especially against a player he generally beats easily. So, simple difficult R1 which allows him to enter his tournament or small alert to watch out for? We'll see tomorrow. I think that Kecmanovic has something to do in this match-up because Martinez sends well and the Serbian will be able to rely on his ball. He put out a good R1 on his side against an equally enterprising Goffin, I liked his reaction at the start of the third set to get back into it straight away. The Serbian lacks confidence this season, with his victory over Berrett' last week, his good match against Dimitrov then his victory in R1 he is already better. He said Martinez was playing very well but he was also starting to play well again, I like that poise.
