Oh the trap!

FAA was supposed to play Alcaraz in the center and he found himself taking an LL and not just any LL!

And yes because LLs like Vukic or Hanfmann remain dangerous but Sonego is worse. Because it will be carried by burning Italians and it generally pisses off the FAA! Felix released a very good R1 against another Italian in form, it's true but it was on a switched off central and Nardi missed it too. There it's Sonego on a small court 9 with few people in the stands but you can be sure that the fifty or so seats will be Italian. Yeah it stinks of a trap for FAA, if he gets out of it it's a victory that will do him a lot of good but now he has to prepare to go to war. In the game he will try to attack Sonego's backhand and then dictate with his forehand, the game plan is simple but with FAA nothing is simple. If he is on the line of his R1 by being serious without giving away too many free points that should do it but watch out for him because the slightest opportunity can wake up Sonego and those Italians!
