La Bonz, it’s whenever you want eh!

Bonzi still can't do it. There is good intermittently, but he is struggling to find his best level which he had exactly here last season by having an exceptional tournament

If I had to summarize this analysis, I would say “distrust”. Distrust because La Bonz, finalist here last year, could find his feet, where Kazak must now find his breath. But if Shevchenko reaches his normal level, he is above Bonz. There was some good in the Bonz match against Mmoh in Montpellier, but really intermittently. His long line backhand was able to establish itself in the second set, as well as better aggression. But he completely lets go of the match at the very end of the set, as if he was really fed up. Playing today against a new ringworm in the person of Shevchenko is going to be difficult. The Kazak is a player renowned for not giving up. While he was worn out in Montpellier, he managed to win his first two matches in 3 sets despite drops in energy and then a very good Bublik in 3 sets as well. Note that they also played doubles together. We can therefore legitimately wonder with what level of physique and motivation he will arrive in Marseille. Whereas, as you have understood, Bonzi is playing badly but he is defending a final and the conditions suit him well.
