¿Un partido que no tiene ni pies ni cabeza?

Los partidos de Gaston ya suelen ser raros, pero aquí, con Norrie del otro lado, cuyo juego/perfil es totalmente distinto al suyo, me pregunto cómo podría ser esto.

After Humbert in Brisbane, it’s another French lefty waiting for Norrie. The Brit has good stats against left-handers, he seems to enjoy that. On the other hand, physically he already showed his limits in Brisbane—heat or just the matches piling up? This guy is a mystery… The conditions are cooler here and it’s his first round; if he blows up I don’t understand anything anymore. Speaking of conditions, let me remind you that Norrie is very good here: he’s got two finals to his name and often plays well, except last year when he was mainly lacking physical preparation. This season he could shine again, but he has to get past Gaston first, and the young Frenchman made a good impression on me in qualifying. He was cheering himself on, fighting hard, and the level of play was there—that’s his good version! It’s in this kind of spot that you usually want to back him, plus his game is so unorthodox that I can picture Norrie a bit lost facing the Frenchman’s variations, no? Apparently not, given the Brit’s two wins against him; he’s probably just too solid and steady in his game to get caught out… The only new argument I have for Gaston is that with him it’s NEVER the same match; he can do anything, and even if a loss seems likely I can see him grabbing a set!
