The star

Joao is still as adored by the crowd, Brazilian or not, but I fear that the asymmetry between the love for this player and his stagnant and monotonous level of tennis will cause his hype to fade somewhat...

Indeed, seeing huge forehands is cool, and to know the Brazilian people well, that will be enough for a few years. But there, we have already noticed the glaring flaws in his tennis for some time. We repeat them to you in each analysis, I will not insult you by adding another layer. It is therefore important to me to see a Machac at his normal level to once again highlight Joao's flaws and that he works on them (no because I love him too eh). In any case, for me as a bettor, when I see that Machac played a decent match despite Nardi's ghostly profile, and that Joao was taking a physical hit at the end of the third set against Kecma, it makes me want to go to Machac's ML even more. Already physically, even without injury, I have doubts about Joao, so there. After in Grand Slams, Joao is even a better player. But here, his match against Kecma didn't convince me, nor did his previous matches on American hard courts. You always have to be wary of Tomas Machac regarding his motivation and injuries, so we'll adjust the bet, but here he gives me more confidence. I hope his odds aren't below 1.5 and that the big fish Brazilian bettors have backed him in abundance! 🤣
