The wolf of Wall Street
Able to blast any game on home soil with left-handed forehand passing, J.J. Wolf can be a head cutter in this first week. Let's see this...
Two players that I have seen evolve in recent weeks. I start with Zhang who has made huge progress this year with excellent matches in fast conditions like in Madrid. These conditions favor his main pattern of play, his DNA: big serve / big forehand. He is also a player who can get carried away and make a lot of unforced errors. We saw it in particular against Kokkinakis recently, a match during which he felt attacked and tried to put a little more. We can recognize a few air pockets in him, and we will notice that it goes against Cressy but against a more solid and mobile guy from the bottom in the person of Son, he was a notch below.
As for our friend Wolf, well, that's not Son power yet. Then you must have seen his poor recent results (especially the jerk off against Fokina), when he had started the American tour very well and everyone saw him chopping heads. Strange what happened. Against Zhang he will have a few free points, but an in-form Zhang can beat Wolf with no problem. The factor to be taken into account is obviously the possible galvanization of JJ Wolf on his land. He had already passed 2 rounds in 2020 and 2022 when we weren't necessarily expecting him...
