Cina WC

Not great to hand a WC to a player who isn't Belgian, I think; it's not like Cina needed that..

By the way, how’s Cina doing these days? I saw him in Rome and Madrid, and since then he hasn’t really broken through. He had some good Challengers, but his very recent form isn’t good. He’s apparently been carrying a back injury and he also pulled out of the last two tournaments due to illness—so not great. He’s also pretty inexperienced indoors, only 3 matches in his career, but the thing is, it’s not like Dzumhur is going to rush him or really bother him—quite the opposite. So the indoor edge isn’t big for Dzumhur, especially since he’s not in top form either. I’d assume after a long, strong season he’s feeling it a bit at the end. Indoors isn’t his preference, and with the accumulated fatigue he’s the kind of player you’d want to lay in these late tournaments—but are we really sure about that? Dzumhur’s last three losses were a bit straightforward, but the level of play wasn’t bad; in the end he didn’t play much on the Asian swing and that’s beneficial moving forward, he’ll likely find enough energy to finish strong. He’s also losing to players much better than Cina. The Italian has big potential and he’s already capable of beating him if he produces a big match, but his average level over the long haul still seems low. In the matchup itself, I’m still not sure what Cina does or doesn’t like; I don’t see why Dzumhur’s game would be disastrous against him—sounds even to me. Which leaves me with few truly solid, proven things I can put in Cina’s favor for tomorrow.
