A Good Matchup, But...

In what kind of shape will Majchrzak return after injury?

So yes, Majchrzak will be playing his first match since the US Open, where he suffered a chest injury. He was scheduled to play in Tokyo, but had to pull out. Quinn has been playing a lot this year, with 64 matches played already, five here in Asia. Kamil and Ethan actually faced off in Wimbledon, with a dominant 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 win for Majchrzak. If you've read my other previews or comments, you can probably tell I'm not "too high" on Quinn; I find him quite basic and immature still. Majchrzak has good tennis IQ, and one-dimensional aggressive players like Quinn are great for him. In Tokyo, Rune was able to completely expose Quinn by getting balls back and playing with variety, and I also find that players with a good backhand can really exploit Quinn's backhand. We know that Rune has a great backhand, and I would say it's one of Majchrzak's strengths as well! Well, those were some things in Kamil's favor; however, some things need to be mentioned... Not having any matches in the Asian Swing yet, and Quinn will definitely prefer not playing on grass against Majchrzak. And yes, at how many % can he play in his first match coming back from a "torn intercostal muscle"? Even a small drop in performance could play a huge role, since it might not allow him to properly defend and reset points if Quinn starts to dictate with his forehand...
