The head cutter

Marozsan is weird, he likes to get his results done on his own when no one’s paying attention to him, and it works.

Another loss in the Davis Cup, yet again on clay against Quinn, he just can’t do it at home and then he skips Rotterdam for no reason. Then we find him up against an in-form Humbert and he absolutely destroys him, so yeah Ugo didn’t play well but Marozsan’s level was just obscene, when he plays that kind of tennis he’s incredibly hard to face. He plays super low over the net and with insane pace while still being able to throw in a perfectly timed drop shot behind it. The fact that he’s on his own with no crowd in Doha almost seems to motivate him even more, it’s crazy! And as a proper giant killer he’s got Rublev in his sights, a trophy he’s already taken off him!

2/2 in the H2H against Rublev and when he loses it’s only just barely! The Russian knows what to expect tomorrow, he can’t afford a bad start like today again. It took him a bit of time to get going against De Jong but once he was into his match he put in a good performance, the conditions are really perfect for him, he can hit as hard as he wants and everything stays in! It’s no coincidence he’s got a massive record in Doha. But now he’s up against one of his bogeymen, so will the conditions he loves be enough to let him get the win, or is this just too tough a match-up to handle and he’s going to lose it?
