                                  F. Auger-Aliassime-F. COBOLLI "2"

After ALCARAZ did not even enter this years RG and SINNERS dramatic loss there will be a new Grand Slam champion in PARIS. COBOLLI looks much overlooked as he is combining a lot of aspects to go maybe even all the way here. First he needs to take out FAA in QF. H2H 2-0 COBOLLI, both Matches on HardCourt and FAA could only take the very first set versus COBOLLI, after that the italian had his number and knows exactly how to win easily versus him 6-3,6-2,6-3,6-2 their last 4 sets played. COBOLLI is even better on Clay and the weather forecast again around 20 degrees and rain possible, the balls will be getting heavier, the ralleys will be getting long. COBOLLI will wear FAA out and FAA will not getting any easy free points. SINNER brought a lot of pride to italian tennis and especially COBOLLI plays like it would be normal at a high level. COBOLLI spend a lot less time on the court, winning his first 3 Matches in straight sets and just dropped 1 set last round versus Svajda. Tournament so far: 12-1 sets. FAA had to work a lot harder getting here, 1st round versus Altmaier the distance and a 7-6 5 set win. 2nd round and 3rd also 4 sets and just last round a straight set win. He plays a lot sets almost through TB or 7-5. He will be definately not the fresher player. The longer the Match lasts the more COBOLLI will take charge BUT I also would not be surprised if the italian once again will be express W. Either way COBOLLI keeps italians hope alive with a WIN placing his ticket in the SF........
