The Yanks in force!

Does playing in China motivate them? They get a bonus from their government, do you think? 😅

This will be Korda's 12th match in 18 days. And I think he already played economy in his previous match because I found his returns often risky, even if it's his game. His quality of service is there: 30 games won out of 31 this year in Shanghai. And last important news: he got bogged down against F. Cerundolo in the second set, but managed to win it and seal the match in two sets. It doesn't seem like much, but for him it's huge. He's playing a lot at the moment to get back to his max level, and it's starting to pay off. Hats off to the artist. On the Shelton side, we are starting to know him well now. His ability to clutch is incredible. It is the result of real faith in one's skills. Against a Korda who will start to be borderline and who likes to dictate the rally, I'm afraid that Shelton's power will prevent him from playing his game. I'm also afraid that Shelton will have the advantage on the mental side as well. ...
