Flavio Cobolli, who has risen to world number 30 and has been making a name for himself lately, will face one of the toughest tests in tennis against Novak Djokovic. Djokovic, who beat Alex Michelsen in two tie breaks in his first match, looked a bit tired in that match but still managed to win. Cobolli is a different player, but in the current conditions, he might give his legendary opponent some trouble.
Ah I missed that match between Djokovic and Cobolli, I saw Djokovic warming up
with a knee brace which looked like the Italian could have a chance but sadly the
2 set scoreline says it was all one way traffic 6-1 and 6-2. I think Cobolli is better
than that result and that playing his idol was a big factor in his performance.
Tallon Griekspoor, who gave Jordan Thompson no chance in the second round, will play former Shanghai Masters finalist Sascha Zverev. Sascha, who easily beat Mattia Belluci, is undoubtedly one of the title contenders here. Moreover, he will carry the confidence of having beaten Griekspoor twice this year. Griekspoor is a solid player but I think Sascha will be able to dominate him in every department.
Poor Tallon, he cant catch a break, he always ends up early in the draws with top
seeded opponents. Its on serve in the third set now.
