Finally, he spoke about his possible rivals in the final: “Jarry is one of the most aggressive players on the circuit, with a great serve and a great forehand. He tries to hit very hard from both sides of the court. His victory against Tsitsipas was impressive, he was down for most of the match, but he always ended up coming back. And I think Paul has played very well this year overall. In Miami his ankle injury slowed him down a little bit, but before that and also since he’s been back he’s been playing great.”
