I used to not like Denis very much, but after his comeback, he pleasantly surprises me and I'm starting to trust him, and he never disappoints. The most important thing is that Canada has sorted himself out psychologically, his backhand is also very solid, and he is currently the player that astonishes me the most with one-handed shots. The Pole was never a clay court player, of course, just like Denis, both have good serves, but Shapo's all-round game is definitely superior, especially from the baseline. Let's not forget that two years ago he beat Nadal in Rome and Rafa went on to win the French Open, so the Spaniard wasn't quite as invincible as he is this year, so he can play against top players on clay. Hubi, unfortunately, hasn't surprised me in this tournament so far. Overall, the first match was quite disappointing, getting 2 sets from Mochizuki is not acceptable. He served well against Nakashima, but Shapo is better than the American, he's preparing to return to the top, so points are extremely important for him here. Trying for Canada.
