Head under water

Muller must take advantage of Tsitsipas's abysmal fall

Only one victory in the preparation tournaments for this US Open for our friend Stefanos, he is completely out of it in several areas. Tennis-wise he is not as good as before, sometimes he manages to stay afloat thanks to his serve and his forehand but as soon as one or the other is a little less good he is lost. Then physically he is wiped out, I don't see a member of the top 10 well sharpened, I see a guy in the hard who can crack at any moment. And this long format is not going to help him, Muller seems to me much more ready to win a big fight in 5 sets for example, even if the Frenchman has problems with his illness he manages things well on his side. 2/0 Stefanos in the H2H on the other hand, a victory on clay this year and it is logical since Tsitsi on clay is still rather good and still decent, we find a hard player that Muller likes more. Our Frenchman has the means to hurt him tactically, he likes to attack on second serves, knows how to come to the net and plays intelligently. I find that he has a little trouble performing against players who serve very well and hurt him quickly, however, so we will have to keep an eye on Stefanos' level but even with a good Tsitsipas we still have hope of seeing him have big physical falls in this match
