Great clash of styles with a very talented Korda against a hyperactive and explosive Wu, it smells like a big match

Wu was a little emotional after his victory against Mannarino. This tournament is in his city and he wanted to win. He is too often held back by injuries, but when his body holds up, he plays well! So yes, against Mannarino, he finished with 67 unforced errors, but it's part of his game. He hits hard and takes a lot of risks on both sides. Mannarino is strong enough to absorb that and break the rhythm, which made it hard for Wu. He faces Korda in a matchup that changes completely from round to round. The American likes to have the game in hand and has been serving particularly well since his return from injury. On the other hand, he has only played profiles that are good for him since his return. He hasn't really been caught by the throat or threatened on the short line, and that's where Wu's game could cause him some problems. The Chinese player is so proactive and enterprising that he could be the one to decide a lot of points in this match. In any case, he's not going to let Korda play his little match quietly. The American can still manage his serve and numb the match a little, but I find it less obvious against this type of player.
