One match too many?
The Greek gives the impression of pulling on the rope for several matches. This is not without the idea of his adversaries who were all very tough. Enough to have worn it out a little too much to reach the final?
The 4th player that Stefanos will meet is also tough. So of course, playing at this stage of the competition is not something frequent for the Serbian (it's even the first time that he reached the semi-finals of an ATP 500), but he has just played one of the best matches of his life I find against Arthur Fils. I say it often but when a player is confident, happy to play and releases, it can hurt. There is no more pressure. Whatever happens, it's a bonus! If I win, it's great, if I lose, I learn. And a player is never as strong when he is in this psychological state. Believe me, I experienced it on my own level. He might start to doubt when the match ends, but not before. What state will the Greek be in? Tired I think. His emotional discharge was great yesterday. He has a series of difficult matches in Barcelona, and one day, things will collapse. In my opinion, he will have to approach the match by being hyper aggressive to immediately gain the upper hand. He is exceptionally good at this game, but Lajovic is coming off a very good defense training against Arthur in which he showed his full range of moves. If we don't try it today, we'll never try it...
