Zhang plays big!

The Chinese defends a quarter-final, the pressure is great this week

Bad period for Zhang who cannot continue at the moment. This return to Madrid could do him a lot of good and push him a little lower. What is certain is that the conditions are great for his game, last year his serve/forehand combo wreaked havoc, his powerful and aggressive game scares a lot of people when it hits! On the other hand, when nothing goes well it's ugly to see, he makes gross unforced errors without trying to do anything else, that's the problem with Zhang. Almost impossible to predict which version we will have in this match. Kecmanovic is also a bit the same, his game can hurt a lot of people but he also has holes, balanced matches. At the moment the Serbian is finding his tennis a little, he is on an upward slope, the dynamic is with him. On the other hand, I think the match will largely depend on Zhang, not him!
