The triple Z is back!
Zhizhen Zhang is back, we haven't seen him since Indian Wells in March
Knee injury for the Chinese who is apparently struggling to come back, he withdrew from tournaments every week because in my opinion he thought he could participate but realized that he couldn't. A lot of big doubts about his form, I already found him very hard to read, now it's even more complicated! He is a finalist in the title by the way, last year he played the steel and it seems complicated to me to come back here to defend these points. We will keep a close eye on him live. He is opposed to Bu, a compatriot whom he already beat here last year by being very clutch, I saw the match and he did very well with the victory because precisely in the game Bu is better. Bu serves less well but everything else is better on his side, notably his mental which is his number one weapon as well as an enormous solidity. He is physically good and hard to beat no matter the surface, since last year he has really stepped up a gear and even without Zhang returning from injury I was already making him the favorite for this match. Now we know that we have to be wary of players who come back from injury, in general they perform well in the first round before taking a hit in the second match
