Scam Norrie?
The Briton is starting to get us used to playing badly just before Grand Slams, and then...
And then he plays the steel. Well, he plays his game to the hilt ;). When he's in this mode, he's indestructible, and annoys a lot of competitors. Especially those who aren't inclined to tolerate a long left-handed line, interrupted by lots of opportunistic surges to the net. I'm thinking of Korda, Lehecka, Popyrin... guys of that style! Is that the case for Comesana? The Argentinian is a strange animal for me. I don't think I've tamed him yet. He has a good quality of serve... but can go a bit crazy with double faults. A game quite focused on the front foot... but capable of playing the baseline wiper too. Last year, then relatively unknown to the general public, he beat Stricker and Humbert here, similar profiles. The biggest problem with him, I would say, is his inconsistency. Capable of playing great matches, as well as good shitty matches. Against Michelsen, he was non-existent in the first set, then began to settle down a bit, and it was enough for him to be solid to upset a very poor Michelsen. But I wonder to what extent the match-up bothered the American. Still, against Norrie, we risk seeing a great battle between two guys capable of working from the baseline and playing breaks to finish at the net. Comesana too, is a Grand Slam player. Capable of "shots". But I don't really like Norrie's profile for him. I think he could implode, and I trust him less on important points.
