That's it, Lolo did it. He would surely have preferred to have it for Roland in front of his home crowd, but the main draw at Wimbledon isn't bad either. Be part of the 128 best, here in the temple of tennis... to play the 4ᵉ in the world and take a beating from the start 😅.

Jerked off is perhaps a big word because the Norwegian arrives unprepared on the grass and has completely cut off for a few weeks to work on his small steps in a nightclub. But we are not 4th in the world by chance. He prepared his tournament seriously as in his image. He arrives especially with little expectations, relaxed and to regain playing time before the big American tour. Despite his lack of experience on grass (3 wins, 6 losses) he has some formidable strengths: his powerful and difficult to read serve, his quality of movement, his rigor in important moments. He even made quite a bit of progress on the backhand, and his forehand everyone knows him despite the fact that the grass greatly annihilates his big lifts.

Lolo could hook him, take a set from him. But as soon as Ruud finds his bearings a little, it will be difficult, especially since the Corsican has an unfortunate tendency to tense up when there is tension.
