We must make it happen!
This may be the opportunity of a lifetime for Mpetshi, playing Musetti for a place in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon is not an opportunity that will normally present itself many times.
Beyond his service, it's the rest that is starting to be impressive at Mpetshi. He didn't just serve against Ruusuvuori, in the back game he was good in the fight and came out like a boss, the progression is crazy. Musetti is another level in neutral exchanges from the baseline because the Italian defends seriously, can slice, re-accelerate, do a lot of things. He has already beaten our Frenchman on grass this season in Stuttgart in an extremely close match where he could/should have won a little more easily with realism (hard to blame him for something when he takes ace after ace on break point ). The Italian did not have to save a single break point on his faceoffs, his match management can greatly help him tomorrow. Being imperious in the service to be able to focus 100% on the return games is what is needed on grass, he managed to do it once but nothing says that this will still be the case tomorrow. Already because Mpetshi evolves and gains confidence over time, and also because Musetti has not been super good since the start of Wimbledon. He performs sluggishly on all his rounds, we also remember that this surface is not good for his game, he forces himself to play differently but that has its limits. Experience will obviously be on his side, he is more used to playing this kind of high-stakes matches but are we worried about Mpetshi on this point? The guy is incredibly calm on the pitch and doesn't even seem aware of what he's doing, the right approach.
