The Rune paradox
By wanting to shine too much, we end up being blinded by our own light, deep...
That's the problem with Rune, he wants so much to play perfect tennis while getting close to the limits that he often ends up exploding in mid-air. Against Evans he won 6/4 6/4 6/4 being serious, the British is a trap even on land. However, I found Holger a little too Holger once again, he wants to play perfectly too much, take the ball early all the time, play in rhythm, create winners on each point. Against Evans it works but against Cobolli? The Italian returns from a great tournament in Geneva and has just knocked out the dangerous Medjedovic in the first round. What I like about him is his maturity on the court, he has magnificent shots but he also knows when it is enough to make his opponent play. I find him impressive since the start of the season and much more consistent than Rune in the content of the matches. The match will go in all directions with two guys who play fast, like to take the lead and who are good at their service games. Two possible scenarios, either the guys play well at the same time and we witness one of the matches of the year, or they play well out of sync and we witness something very disjointed which definitely goes in the direction of one or the other!
