Passaro still passes?

One of the nice surprises of this tournament, the 240th in the world came out with courage and also with a game that was pleasant to watch!

To be honest I only knew him by name before his victory over Rinderknech, I had the opportunity to see the match and the guy is already in good shape. He is quite strong, sends hard on the serve and on the forehand, he took his chance against Rinderknech and comes back from afar. With his long qualifying match against Ajdukovic it may start to draw, especially since he has to play again tomorrow. We discussed it with Elie and it's true that even if physically he seems to be solid, it's typically the kind of profile that can cramp! Facing Griekspoor the task promises to be complicated because there we move onto another level. Where Rinder lacked speed, movement and intelligence too, Griekspoor should do better everywhere. The Dutchman serves just as well, uses his forehand better and simply plays better on this surface too.
