    FAA could stand to improve a bit technically on the FH, but really the issue I think is the BH mechanics. Too wristy, not an efficient enough use of the rest of the body imo.

    I think the BH’s gonna be the shot that genuinely holds him back from winning Majors or, hell, even making Major finals. He’s gonna be facing Djokovic/Alcaraz/Med, and frankly he matches up badly against all of them. Even Sinner/Rune/Tsitsipas aren’t amazing matchups imo. The common thread in all of them is that they can either lock him into BH-BH exchanges or attack the BH to get a weak reply they can exploit.

    FAA is reliant on his big serve to an absolutely absurd degree for a guy who’s tall but not Isner/Opelka tall

    Why are so many players unable to convert set/match point in Bercy? Like it’s abnormaly high

      In addition to /u/honnestnbafan comment, I’d add that the crowd seems extra energetic this year, which adds some pressure to the players on important points

    Very solid performance from Tsitsipas. Played with confidence, to make a come back and win in straight sets. Haven’t seen that from him in a while!
