Jean-Michel Souscoté

Here are two players that many were wrong to underestimate in my opinion!

Indeed, Casper Ruud has a lot of weapons to play well on grass. Above all, I think that it is already in his head, and that it is extremely difficult to be at full strength all season. Because otherwise, just his quality of service and his forehand power make him formidable! On the Italian side, it is especially in terms of motivation that you need to get up to speed. The guy CLEARLY doesn't want to bother playing challengers in the depths of Italy, and so as soon as he plays even the qualifiers of a Grand Slam, he's all in. And when we know his talent and his ability to cut trajectories and take early, it can hurt on grass. The big problem of course, as you know, is his endurance. Both mental and physical. And in this game, Casper is a king!
