5ᵉ MouPyrin!

And the AMAZING thing for me: not a single victory for the Australian! When we know his pugnacity, there is reason to be outraged...

Well, first look, their matches were all played before 2021 and it was the most exciting of all. Popy was then 73rd in the world. Not bad, but not his best level this year. In terms of fitness, Coco looks on fire in Monte-Carlo. He eliminates Michelsen (that's ok) and Altmaier in 2 sets during the qualifiers. And that's often a sign that the guy is really good. Besides, THE parameter that explains why Coco is such a favorite is that the guy has ONLY played matches on clay this season! 19 in total, including 12 victories. Where this is the first match on earth for Popy... Yet Popy was excellent on the surface last year. Its legendary resilience is a formidable weapon on ocher. He is fresh, rested, and no longer has any injuries. He reassured me mentally when he played against Bublik in Doha because he really didn't get caught up in the Kazak's fanciful strategies. And Coco is a bit like that but in a different style. Ugh, I'm sure there's something to be done here, I can feel it...
