Half a De Minaur?

A little slack for the Australian who is coming off 3 matches in which he was clearly not at his best level.

Indeed, we remember the scenario against Murray where he was trailing, 5-2 in the 3rd I think. Then a match against Medvedev that he only really won in the 1st set (even though he really bothered him all year), and a defeat in 2 sets against the surprising Marozsan. He is stingy in Tokyo with a victory and 3 defeats on the clock, the last 2 against good outsiders (average rating of the guys: 4.30). You'd have to check with previous seasons but I don't really have the impression that Alex enjoys playing in Asia! Opposite we have a Draper who preferred to stay in Europe after the Davis Cup and who, after two rather convincing challengers, heads to the ATP500 in Tokyo to brilliantly pass the 2 qualifying rounds. When it holds up physically, Draper can achieve very good results. He has largely the tennis level of De Minaur, to see if he can last a whole match against Speedy Gonzalez.
