The two bores

Between illnesses, injuries, unstable level of play and questionable motivation, we have champions

They are respectively very annoying to analyze because we never knew how they will present themselves on the court. Ofner can water and give matches to everyone and Nardi can just be bad and smooth. Who gives us a little more guarantees this time? Nardi.. The Italian played Tokyo at least, before that he withdrew from a tournament because of food poisoning, at least it was not an injury. He got destroyed in Tokyo against Arnaldi before clutching and taking a set but it deserved a clear defeat. But matchup catastrophic for him in my opinion, here he finds a role of counter/clever defender a little more in line with his game. The game plan is simple: make Ofner spin. And I'm not even sure we'll get to that point, Ofner was already injured at the US Open, a forearm/wrist problem, it's also the reason for his withdrawals in challenger recently. So the famous question arises: injured or not? I already believe that he is not concerned by the rule of the mandatory M1000 if I am not mistaken, on the other hand he is totally capable of coming without external pressure to take his check and sell out the match. In any case he has not played since the US Open and the conditions will be quite complex, it is hot and humid, physically he is a guy to watch urgently in this kind of match conducive to seeing him fly to pieces. I do not like this match but I think that...
