If it's Aussie I'll go there too!
Duel of Australians (= Aussie) on the rock! The two colleagues from Sydney face each other for the 3rd time in their career. The winner will be the first Australian to play 1/4 of Monte Carlo since Mark Philipoussis in 1999 😮
In summary, because it's already 10 p.m., I really liked Popyrin's performance. He was intelligent, daring, pragmatic... He varied his game wonderfully so as not to get into a baseline fight against Rublo: volley serve, drop shots, long line backhand on the counter foot... Great realism in important points. In short, great guy. He had already escaped the big Moutet trap in R1. This guy is strong, period. De Minaur is also monstrous, but on land he has fewer weapons and experience. He is one of those players like Ugo Humbert who must not change their game too much on earth otherwise they would get lost. But don't expect to beat Ruud at Roland when it's like that. ADM will therefore continue to be aggressive and, a bit like against Rublev, Popy will have to return a different ball to him each time and be realistic. If he manages to keep his level, his rage to win and his malice, he could clearly win!
