Half a Naur?

The Australian's injury on match point caused talk on the networks! Normal, this means that Arthur was not far from winning the match, and that we will not know on which foot to dance for this quarter against Djoko...

And yes, I prefer to warn you right away, this analysis will be truncated. De Minaur obviously wants to be reassuring so as not to give signals of weakness. And if he is minimally impacted, he loses his primary weapon which is his fennec mobility! So hey... Not great for us punters, is it?! We had a good example with Fritz / Zverev yesterday. Zverev, hit in the knee, produced offensive tennis which pushed him towards the net and hampered the American in the first two sets. De Minaur's last volley against Arthur Fils shows that he can excel in this area. And unlike Medvedev or Zverev, being aggressive is part of his DNA. I quote Daniil Medvedev deliberately because he too arrived physically impacted in the final of the Australian Open, and that had also pushed him forward and hampered Jannik Sinner since he was leading 2 sets to 0. The scenario in which De Minaur playing without pressure with a lot of aggression is therefore possible, be careful not to underestimate him too much. On the Djoko side, the guy flew through the debates against a Rune at half mast. I would have liked to see it tested a lot more to get more info. But definitely, this analysis becomes delicate. Djoko at Wimbledon, it will be at a very high level, but will it hold up physically if it starts in 5? As for the match up, I find that Djoko deliberately slows down the game to position himself as a smart blocker. He builds his point by allowing himself to be attacked in some way. And we saw that it could hamper De Minaur in his match against Fils. But he quickly changed his tactics to adapt and he already showed us against Djoko that he can be that regular aggressor who stifles his opponent. To be continued...
