The survivor

4 matches in 3 sets for the Spaniard before facing the Moscow wall. Good luck!

I think everything’s already been said in the comments.

Daniil is moving better and better on clay and Rome suits him well... when the clay is a bit heavy. That won’t really be the case today with the nice weather forecast and 25°C. He’ll be playing his first match in the tournament, and that’s really the trickiest part. Especially since he doesn’t have a big name on the other side of the net, so all the pressure is on him. You can sense, with Marcos, a match where he kind of plays like crap for a whole set. But everything could also go very smoothly because the match‑up should suit him. On the other hand, Llamas is confident. He’s a humble guy who’s come a long way, and he’ll have to do everything he can not to play another 3‑hour match. Either he’s too good and puts Daniil in danger, or his aggressive strategy backfires because that’s exactly what Daniil wants...
