A Frenchman in the final

Royer or Moutet in the final of this 250, one is starting to be more used to it than the other.

Indeed, it's not the first time that Moutet has reached this stage of a tournament this season, he shows a certain consistency even if his tournament is a bit empty I think. Victory against Cazaux having saved shitty balls then a victory on abandonment against Etcheverry when he was well dominated. It's not the sparkling Moutet that we find monstrous and that we want back. Except that he has increased his average level of play and that even without being brilliant he has a better basic level. A bit the opposite of Royer who is still counting on flashes of brilliance for the moment, he is learning and has just validated a great level of play with another great victory against Tien. He takes the game to his account, comes to finish at the net and simply takes his chance, but the week is already long on his side and we will have to see with the sequence even if I remind you that Moutet played almost 4 hours in the second round and is returning from a long trip to Croatia with two matches there. We see a certain pattern to come and beat Moutet at the moment (or at least annoy him): aim his backhand and take the net, that's good, Royer knows how to do it and will do it.
