Gri-gor, president!
Baby Fed won his first tournament 10 days ago in Brisbane. Enough to see him more relaxed now?
Well, it must not have escaped your notice if you follow tennis at all: Grigor plays steel. The guy moves like he did in 40. He serves well. His forehands at the end of the race are still magnificent. And his backhand slice capsized more than one. The latest: Holger Rune in the Brisbane final. Are you sending me a big cinder block? I'll cut your face off! On the mental side, we saw him very affected by losing his final at Bercy. The Bulgarian is really on a mission to finish his career well. He'll have to get back in the saddle after finally getting back into a tournament, but he's had a week off in the meantime and I'm not too worried. Now, no need to introduce Fucsovics at the Australian Open. The guy loves this tournament. The previous season, he lost in 5 sets against Sinner, beat Wawrinka in 2021, Shapo and Sinner in 2020... He is tough and it will take a very good Grigor to win this match without too many problems. Against Grigor, he even leads 3-1 with close matches each time! Despite all this, I find him a little less convincing in his last matches. But you know what they say: the hungriest wins.
