The guardian angel of the stolen service, Maxime Cressy, does not lack ambition. On the back of his excellent start to the season (final in Melbourne, quarter in Sydney and now eighth at the Australian Open), the 24-year-old Franco-American, born in Paris, is feeling his wings grow.
Does he see himself in the top 10? “Same number 1, i am very confident. My style of play can beat anyone, so starting this year I’m very confident. I played against Nadal and I really believe I put him in an awkward position so if I really stick to my routines and have a very disciplined mindset I can do it, yeah », replied serenely Cressy (70e) before facing Daniil Medvedev, against he absolutely does not intend to deny his style of play despite the quality of the Russian’s return.
“Actually, I don’t even think about my opponent because he’s trying a lot of different things. He can try returning from close range or if it doesn’t work from the baseline he can try anything. So I try not to look at what the opponent is doing because when I’m very good on serve and volley my opponents try different things to disrupt me and if I focus on them it disrupts my game.”
