Another crazy match

If someone had told me 2 years ago that Tabilo would be seeded no. 24 at Roland, I wouldn't have really believed it. And yet his rise is not the result of chance or a fortuitous tournament in which he gleaned points by chance. Will he assume his new status at Roland? This is what we will try to predict...

Victory in Auckland at the start of the year, then final at home in Santiago, then victory in Aix, then final in Rome... Tabilo is simply solid. Great service, complete and clever game, big grinta. With 25 wins for 10 losses this season, he fully deserves his top seed status. By beating Djokovic in 2 sets in Rome, then continuing against Khachanov, he proved to us that we could count on him mentally. He is undeniably stronger than Zizou, but the Belgian has other cards to play. Great service too, experience that is starting to count, and potential that is just waiting to explode. I've been doing it for 2 years already, and I tell myself that the milestone will be reached quickly. He comes out of the Roland qualifiers with Brio, and above all, we all have his match against Nadal in Rome in mind. Rafa wasn't playing great, but Zizou was impressive in sequence. So not a simple confrontation at all for our friend Tabilo. Two players who will do everything to secure their service games and be able to take risks on the return. Either Tabilo confirms that he is very strong and goes through 3 tight sets, or Zizou reveals his potential even more...
