But what is the German doing?!

The German, I wonder what he’s doing, because even though I trusted him after his first mediocre match, even with a bad match-up against the Chilean, I was fairly calm expecting a better performance in the second one. However, despite a fairly easy win, thanks to a very favorable match-up against the Belgian Zizoubergs, I didn’t find his performance impressive at all, far from it. So I’m expecting a labored match, or at least not him at his best today. That works out well for the Brazilian, who is really in great form. What reassures me about the Brazilian is his ability to adapt to the profile of the player across the net. He was patient against the Canadian Diallo in his first match, letting him make the errors. Against Berrettini, in his second match, he targeted the backhand, varied his approaches, came to the net, and used his forehand much more as a disruptive weapon compared with his first match. That makes me think he’ll be able to alternate strategies during this match. Up against a German who, in my opinion, is not in his best form, that looks promising.
