I’ve already told you this multiple times...

Hijikata is always a pain in the ass for everyone!

Plus, on grass, against a Tiafoe who isn’t quite killer enough, my first impression leans towards a bet that backs Hiji. If you’re surprised by his score against Gentzsch, I’m not. Sure, he saved several match points, but having discovered the German at Roland, I can tell you he’s not easy to handle. And generally, after a win like that, you play much more freely afterwards.

You’ll say it’s the same for Tiafoe! And yes, it’s the same for Tiafoe. He could have finished his match a bit quicker, and he ended up in a three-setter. Now he’s up and running on grass, and he’s going for a pretty aggressive game. Not a bad thing for the Australian, who just proved against Gentzsch that he’s still just as good at getting one more ball back.

On the other hand, as you know, Tiafoe’s average level, in general and on grass, is higher than Hiji’s...
