How long will Ruud last?

How far will Etcheverry last, right? Saved for a long time by his service against Norrie and coming within 2 points of defeat against Nakashima, what is his face today?

He doesn't dominate head and shoulders, but he passes. Enough to arrive very relaxed against one of the best days in the world on the surface in attendance! When I think of the match I of course think of Etcheverry's aggressive style which can disturb Ruud. We know that Casper doesn't like big waiters who wear tailcoats everywhere. He needs a little time to work on his forehand. It's like that. He has become more aggressive himself this year though. The goal is to have control over your opponent first during the exchange so that it is not him who has it. The Argentinian served extremely well against Norrie despite the wind, and if he maintains this quality of service, he will be able to annoy the Norwegian in search of a first title in an M500. In the exchange, Etcheverry is not Jarry or Marozsan. He attacks but like an Argentinian, that is to say from 2 meters behind his baseline. Nah for me the big unknown is at what level Etcheverry will arrive. He has the ability to beat Casper. If he plays like he did at the end of the match against Norrie, aggressive, not a mistake, it could hit the mark. He raises his level throughout the tournament, that's normal, but I think Casper is really motivated by the idea of ​​getting his M500. There is some rest before Madrid and it is not a tournament that he appreciates more than that given the conditions...
