Hanfmann with the desire?

The German is at home this week but has never really performed in this tournament!

A quarter-final in 2017, this is Hanfmann's only good result in this tournament, when we look closer he didn't only have gift draws but he doesn't seem to particularly like this tournament, why? Because in general the playing conditions are horrible, it rains often and the ground is heavy. His serving kick doesn't work as well as elsewhere and his game doesn't benefit too much from it either. Given the weather, we're back for another year in these same conditions, at least for the first few days. But will it benefit Shevchenko? I do not think so. The Russian likes to have free points when serving, sending hard on both sides to surprise his opponents. The surface will be slow and heavy, he will have to work and that's not where he excels. He's a player who relies heavily on motivation, he's good to take on when he plays against the locals, he likes to pique the crowd and uses it. We can say that playing Hanfmann at home automatically gives us a motivated and excited Shevchenko but I think that the rain and the muddy ground (shit conditions) will piss him off. In addition we are on an R1 of a 250 and Munich is not known for being a crazy crowd..
