Who still believes in the Greek gods, in Christ-like beauty?

I still believe in him. I think that this first match, narrowly won, will do him good mentally. He’s already pulled off some great wins only to collapse afterwards. I’m thinking in particular of his match against Alexandre Deminor. That wasn’t enough to restore his confidence. Here, his first-round match was different because the match‑up wasn’t necessarily favorable. He was up against an American who executed his game plan very well. I feel like this time it can really do him good. I think that on high‑altitude clay, as he’s already proven, his serve plus forehand can be really hard to handle. He even admitted in his press conference that in his three practice matches in Madrid, he hadn’t lost a single service game. It was the tension that caught up with him a bit in his first match. I’m expecting a better Tsitsipas today. But he’s facing someone who can also take advantage of the altitude conditions, especially with his serve quality. Behind that, the Kazakh, known as the magician, has the game intelligence to exploit the match‑up, or at least the Greek’s weaknesses with, as I said on X, an overall still very good game, except on the backhand side. That’s a weakness that will be exploited. With the high bounce, it’s also quite tricky for him to step into the ball. He has a power deficit and even though I believe in a better level from the Greek, it’s still hard to trust him because of that weakness. Nevertheless, even if the Kazakh showed signs of life again in Monte Carlo in his first matches, he quickly folded against Alcaraz in the quarterfinals and played a bit of a clownish match, like in Munich. For me, this is the Greek’s chance—now or never—to show his motivation and maybe start rebuilding his confidence.
