It's straight up my Arthur!

One seed down and a third round on the French ropes, you have to take your chance and take what you can take!

Never underestimate Safiullin as the Russian can come out of huge tournaments and play steel at certain times of the year. We know that he is defending a quarter-final here at Wimbledon so it is even logical to be wary of him after two victories on his part. He brought out Cerundolo and Machac, two good players but the level was not crazy, especially against Machac where we saw a poor match with a lot of mistakes on both sides and many breaks (13!). Has Fils been more convincing since the start of the week? Yes still ! And I would add that he already showed good tennis in Halle before Wimbledon. This victory over Hurkacz should not be minimized on the pretext that the Pole gave up because Fils was equal and even better for two sets! I find Arthur really good at the moment, when he is confident he plays great tennis and can go far, I give him a real advantage in form. He also leads 2/0 against Safiullin and both times indoors, fast conditions but different from grass, we're not going to lie. I don't know if we can give Safiullin a real advantage on grass since Arthur is capable of playing well there too. I have two or three things that make me go towards...
