Like a catch!

Mensik / Bublik, rigor or madness?

That's it, we apparently have a Mensik back without any physical discomfort. The Czech is still impressive with his power/resilience ratio. He moves well on grass, and mentally, he's solid. Enough to give a hard time to his opponent of the day who loves to twist his opponents so much. The Kazak recently withdrew from Stuttgart for discomfort in his left leg which seemed to prevent him from serving correctly, then he lined up again in a match 4 days later to beat Purcell. The Kazak is more and more regular if not Wim and no longer loses against less strong than him. He is more and more serious I think, and has certainly done everything to be as prepared as possible here.
