The little extra something?

Basilashvili seems to have the last word against Halys almost every time, why?

3/1 Basilahsvili in the H2H and his only defeat was by abandonment, otherwise he won all the matches and did not lose a tie-break against Halys (4 played and won), it's the kind of stat that hurts a little because basically Halys is not at all the kind of player you expect to come and break and get out before TB. His strength lies in fighting with his heart, holding as it should be and sending hard on his forehand with a lot of courage. I can't say that Basilashvili is courageous, quite the contrary, he is more the type to play relaxed all the time and it's his game to send all the time regardless of the score or the stakes. I found him really good in China but in the end he didn't have a big result to validate all that (there's even a 6/1 6/0 defeat against Tomic). He made a very good impression on me and now he comes out of the qualifiers. I can tell you that for me he is a real dangerous outsider, all the matches can depend on him because we know that when he is well focused his tennis is exceptional. Against Halys we find a fairly closed matchup, it is strong on serve on both sides and above all they are two excellent aggressors who will try to take control of the point as quickly as possible. Halys's form is less good but in his last matches he was good and with the end of the indoor season and Paris coming up he could finish strong this season, however it remains a speculation while we have some "certainties" on Basilashvili
