The beauty and the Beast

On the one hand Etcheverry, player with a clean game and always a perfect headband. On the other, Mpetshi, the physical monster of 2M03 who sends cartridges and progresses at great speed

Like his week, I don't find Etcheverry super convincing in the semis but he simply wins with more consistency. All week he will have played tenacious earthlings, in the final change of scenery with the giant Mpetshi and his earthling game (no). The Frenchman is having a hell of a tournament, he didn't let himself be distracted by Bublik's quirks and I can see him going to piss off Etcheverry tomorrow, why? Because Etche doesn't restart very well, I have in mind his match against Nakashima where he struggled on the return and I tell myself that the Frenchman can go for tight ends of sets where anything is possible. Mpetshi does not hide, he repeats that his objective this season is to win an ATP250 or 500, here is the opportunity to do it, it is up to him to impose his style of play to offer something new to the Argentinian . As a good self-respecting earthman, Etcheverry likes to have time, to put his game in place, to make his opponents work. He's not going to like being attacked early in the exchange.
