final day

Laslo Djere did it again. Capable of the worst, but also of the best, he still produced a full match, without erasures, to reach the bottom step. Does he have a chance?

The first thing to look at of course is their experience in the final and their success rate. We are at 58% on the Zverev side (out of 45 finals), and 33% on the Djere side (out of 15 finals). It kinda sets the tone. On the match up side, we are 2-0 for Zverev on their meetings. Good.. The two had a solid match yesterday but I think that the "Z" had a little stronger challenge to play and counter the ardor of Arthur Fils who, despite his youthful mistakes, tried everything in sent fire. But above all, I believe that in addition to experience, the "Z" has this science of playing on clay. He moves very well despite his size and rounds his trajectories a lot, which gradually annihilates the power of players like Djere or Arthur. If you look at the best players on earth like Nadal, Thiem, etc. they wear down their opponents by being able to produce this for 8 hours. It is this main reason that makes me say that Djere will not be able to win this final, unless there is a perfect match where everything goes together with a tension from Zverev.
