Sander profile with two players who love long rallies and breaking their opponents

We immediately note a 4/0 for Norrie in the direct confrontations, he seems to control the match but is it really the case? I see three very close matches personally, not sure that the British has a real advantage in the match up, on the contrary I find that he has lost solidity over the years and that Agut still keeps the ball in the court. The Spaniard amazed me against Altmaier, I did not know what to expect from him after a special schedule and he dominated Altmaier quite widely. A little trouble on the return as usual but in the game nothing to say he was in place and very good. With this level of play and the conditions it promises a long and disputed match since Norrie also shines in this long channel even if he begins to apply a little more to the serve and forehand to hurt quickly. Physically it's almost funny to say but I trust Agut more in a long match in three sets, I've seen Norrie get burned so much and still win victories.. Both are tenacious and despite an unplayable H2H on paper for Agut I think he's still damn good this year and after a first round like that..
