A French in 2ᵉ week?
What loves this return to form of La Bonz! Defensive in nature and a baseline player, he has his chances against the talented young Swiss...
First physical question on the Swiss side, because he says it himself: he does not necessarily focus on this aspect. He remains a top athlete, we hear. But his 5 matches were not the easiest and they could leave some traces if the match against La Bonz lasted. I remind you that he has an aggressive game and that he hits hard. This type of game requires a certain physical form, even if it is true that his hand and his timing can compensate for some inaccuracies of placement. There's also the buzz effect for me when you just beat a great player. Everyone is talking about you when you have to quickly come down from your cloud, because the behind game is coming quickly and it is downright affordable. Another "reassuring" thing on the Frenchie side is the profile of the players he beat before: Halys and Eubanks. Two good servers with an aggressive profile. The best training for La Bonz who covers his ground very well and managed to make the difference in the important moments. A little Tennis Metrics stat that will make you happy: La Bonz has beaten 52 left-handers in his career, against 19 defeats. And those he beat, it's not necessarily sleeves 😅.
