Dangerous toilet!!

Mochizuki already reached the semi-finals of this tournament two years ago.

He was on fire, played with steel and probably had the tournament of his life, it was almost a one-shot for Mochizuki but I think that this year he has really reached a milestone with a lot of successful tournaments and some really great victories! I love his game too, he is enterprising and is not afraid to create play, he likes to come and finish at the net too. He will take his chances, that's for sure and in any case it will be through a forward game because from deep I don't see him holding up against Ruud. The Norwegian is never exceptional on hard but he is serious and solid, you still have to play big matches to beat him, after all he is coming back from the Laver Cup and I don't really like this lack of preparation for this tournament with a long trip on top of that. Even for a player as serious as him it's not easy to manage especially since he's coming up against a local who has already played on these courts during the Davis Cup and who is approaching this match like crazy, now we have to know whether or not Mochizuki has the game and the level to take a set or even beat Ruud. On paper I don't give him the win but I wouldn't be surprised if he plays a very good match, I find him good this season and surprising, a small bet that goes in his direction seems rather logical
