Fraikina

The Spanish are much fresher than in the last tournaments, what will it take to go far?

We had confirmation but we didn't really have any doubts, it was a big burnout from Foki during his last withdrawals, no rest day and a hellish sequence that he didn't know how to manage. He took a break before the US Open and arrives a little fresher! He benefited from an express first round against a Shevchenko who was completely out of sorts, even Foki was happy not to lose energy in this match! We will have to monitor his condition as the matches go by but for the moment he is good. Second round relatively good in perspective because of short path against Rinderknech and I want to say that a good Foki has all the weapons to hurt Arthur. He will impose his big rhythm with crazy intensity from the return and with his court coverage Arthur will have to be really clean in his attack choices. Our Frenchman is in good shape, he just beat Carballes mentally and with better match management but small physical alert that we must watch! I don't really like the matchup for him and on top of that he's already given a lot in R1, if it pulls physically he won't be able to make enough of a difference and will have to force his game. The logic would be to see Fokina win here, do we have a nice bet that goes in that direction?
