Borges is takeable..

For a first round of M1000 Barrere could have had a much more complicated draw, there is room!

An American tour not good for the French but when you look at his draws it was difficult to do better. He regained some confidence at home with a semi-final in particular and 4 victories for two defeats. Enough to get back on a good footing to finish the season, unfortunately there is this defeat against Rodionov where he obtained two match points (no regrets Rodionov saved them perfectly). I saw an enterprising and focused Barrere, that’s positive. I also saw Borges more comfortable than in recent weeks, the slow conditions in Astana helped him a lot, he was able to play his game. He saves a match point against Kukushkin and behind him he gives us a good match against Korda, once again two profiles which give him time, which Barrere should not do..
