Miraculous Galan

11 points lost by Altmaier and Galan on their serve in the only tie-break of the 3ᵉ set yesterday... Galan can thank heaven! He plays a guy he's always pissed off and has absolutely nothing to lose. Attention !

Well, it's true that since Etcheverry made his breakthrough at Roland, we no longer perceive him in the same way. He has a game similar to the Colombian with his strengths being a good serve and a big forehand. Ditto for Galan but a little less strong. The difference between the two is played in particular on the quality of movement, although one can be somewhat biased by the pateau gait and the haggard air of the Colombian. On the wet ground announced today I give a little less credit to Galan, but I remain suspicious. I just came across a video of him leading 6/0 6/1 over Tsitsipas at the US Open. Never forget that a miraculous outsider is capable of anything.
