Tiafoe is back?
Not the big Tiafoe yet but the American fought well in R1 and is still defending his title here!
How hard it was for Tiafoe against Hanfmann, first match of the year on grass, without confidence, against a dangerous local, and yet he saved 11 break points out of 11 to win realistically. A match that he would have lost on earth but the grass allows him to have more free points on serve, I see this sluggish victory as a match which can make him regain a lot of confidence, whether tomorrow or on the next tournaments. For Draper it's different and similar at the same time, we feel that he is looking for himself but still manages to win matches which are far from easy. This surface fits his game well and the more confidence he builds up, the more dangerous he will become, but right now he is still takeable. His department is in the process of being overhauled, he still has drops in concentration and his physique can pose a problem without warning. Match up level Draper should be the more enterprising of the two but Tiafoe is not against it, no real advantage from what I see.
