World War 3?
This is a beautiful encounter! A real puzzle as we like them!
First of all, let it be said, Zhang is better on the surface in presence. At least that's what it says. This will be his first Monte-Carlo, and his first match on gravel of the season. He has quite a few points to defend and surely preferred to take a break and prepare well to have a good season. And it starts today... in the rain! Small problem because the Chinese prefers when things go quickly with his aggressive game. However, he didn't have his results last season on clay without having a solid base of play on the surface, don't make me say what I didn't say. That's why, rain or not, he remains a better earthman than Giron. I'm not saying that Giron is bad, I'm saying that the earth is not his strong point. He plays Darderi in Houston, and it hurts. And since Delray Beach, its results have been absent. He has a good arm and a forehand in my opinion well underestimated, but imbuing lift and rounding trajectories is not his style. He can of course do it technically, but what people generally don't understand is that being an earthling, beyond mastering certain strategies and sliding techniques, is above all a type of mentality. And when you're born in the United States, you're already in trouble 😅
