Zhang is back?
It's going to take a lot more than a victory against Galan then Mannarino to talk about a return to form for Zhang, but there are victories already, that's good!
His serving kick, his heavy forehand, the Chinese has the possibility of playing well on earth, this is nothing new. So yes he benefits from a favorable draw to reach R3 of this tournament, we don't care a little to be honest since we judge his performances. And against Galan then Mannarino I saw Zhang doing well on the pitch, his game is coming together, he is regaining confidence. As for Shelton, I sold him well, even oversold him in the last match, he took such a piss against Kotov! His heavy preparation will pay off sooner or later but does not immediately help him become a clay player, his backhand is weak especially on this surface. He will suffer in the diago against Zhang but will also make him suffer in the other diago. The American has already beaten him by saving a match point on hard court, would I give Zhang an advantage on clay, enough to come out on top?
