From Minocre?

Another quick R1 in Monte-Carlo for the Australian after the scathing 6/1 6/1 inflicted on Murray last year.

Being objective I did not find De Minaur monstrous but above all Wawrinka extremely bad, yes the Australian's play forced him to make mistakes but he was not our usual Stan and the heavy conditions did not help him. not helped. But here De Minaur rounded his shots and added volume at times, he also hit some nice drop shots and the impression that emerges from his first round is that he is trying to adapt to the surface! On a few points he hits again flat close to the net because it annoys him and I wonder how long he will last. Because he wins 6/3 6/0 but on several occasions I saw him get angry towards his clan when he only lost 3 games in this match, damn that must piss him off. He made 22 fouls in this match and he says the heavy conditions pissed him off. He takes advantage of it a little because it's hard to get ahead of him but he also likes to send and take the ball early. On this R2 he should have a little more difficulty because Griekspoor is a player he has not beaten since 2017 and the Dutchman won both confrontations in 2023. He knows how to play on earth, is more patient than Stan and should fight to the end (please don't sell out if you're behind). During their confrontations he hurt De Minaur by attacking him behind his second ball, on earth he should be a little less aggressive on the return and struggle a little more in the exchange but if he is the one who is solid and he leaves the game to De Minaur, what could happen? He can work it with his backhand slice and counter with a forehand, he knows the song against him and will try to reproduce that tomorrow. In any case it's a second round far from easy for ADM, he was tense on his R1 and I don't think he will be perfect tomorrow.
