Hope Atmane

Having gone from 1002nd place in the world to 132nd in 2 years, the explosive Terence Atmane has been making waves since the US Open. Will he beat again Fucsovics who was very close to beating Zverev at Bercy? 🤔

H2H: 1 single match between the two men, on hard in Challenger, and the best performance from the Frenchman in his career with notably 6 set points saved!

State of form : good tennis level from Fucso to Bercy but somewhat tense when there was pressure. Atmane comes out of a magnificent Asian tour during which he won 2 challengers, then lost at Bercy against a good Ofner and qualified for the main draw in Sofia having lost his serve only once.

Past performances in the tournament: 1st participation for Atmane, 4 victories and 3 defeats for Fucso (half in 2019)

Match up : Atmane advantage I would say because Fucso likes to have a little time to organize himself (and doesn't seem to appreciate the pressure at the moment). He is more comfortable on a slightly slow outdoor hard surface like the Australian Open

Strengths weaknesses: forehand, technique, resilience and big physique for Fucso on the advantages side. Downside on the mental side // Natural explosiveness, big serve and forehand, power and enthusiasm for Terence. Put yourself in a framework, don't have enough confidence in yourself and accept your character's weaknesses.

Match conditions : last match on center court, night session, atmosphere! Something to motivate Terence 😉.

Possible scenario: Atmane puts on crazy pressure from the start and quickly plays his best tennis since he is used to the conditions here thanks to his two qualifying matches (balls, surface, altitude...). He then takes the first set and the Hungarian raises his level of play. Everything will then come down to mentality in the 3rd round.

Bets to consider : +21.5 games at 1.72, Atmane set at 1.79, tie-break at (?), +2.5 sets at 2.56, Atmane victory at 2.97
