Back to reality

After a dream weekend in Croatia for Moutet, he must return to much darker tournaments with a different motivation

Moutet fully honored his first selections for the French team, he brought back two points and qualified us for the quarter-finals! Two matches managed quite well by him with a lot of seriousness. He continues his momentum and has been playing successful matches for several weeks now, so I expect him to be in good shape tomorrow. With this delay of the 1/8th and a BYE in the first round he had a little more time to recover from the post-David Cup trip while a lot of other players were in a rush, I am quite reassured on this point. Now in the game he will face Cazaux who has just won a good battle against Arnaldi today. A match that could have gone either way but the Frenchman was enterprising in the right moments. First confrontation between these players and I wonder if Cazaux will adopt the strategy that many players are using at the moment against Moutet, namely: aiming for his backhand and going to the net. This is what bothers Moutet and Cazaux can do it, on the other hand Coco is used to it and if this game plan was so easy to make work he would not win any matches.
