Distrust, and the beautiful game
Quite unaware of anyone who does not distrust Dusan Lajovic...
Indeed, the 33-year-old Serbian has skills and a game that would make many youngsters pale. He plays on average 3 matches per year on grass, and has never gleaned more than 2 victories. He generally makes a small 250 in which he loses in the first round, before playing Wim. It's a shame because he has a game that could adapt well to the surface I think. Besides, in 2017, he put 6/4 6/4 6/4 on Tsitsipas... But I think he favors clay so much that when the grass season arrives, he takes the opportunity to recharge his batteries. Even more so today at 33, you have to make choices. He didn't even play a small 250 or an exhibition before arriving at Wim, that's saying something! As for Grigor, I think you know him by heart. Since his real comeback in 2023, he very rarely disappoints. He even has the particularity of being able to dominate opponents who are inferior to him head and shoulders, which often results in a beating. With the US Open, Wimbledon is the Grand Slam which is the least successful for him (respectively 57% and 59% of victories), the Australian Open being by far his best (70% of victories). He has little time to organize himself and deploy his full palette. That's good, Wim's courts are particularly slow at the start of the week. Only small problem: the Serbian also masters the slice and dropshot very well!
