He appears to enter each match as the favourite and he appears as humble and relaxed with it as he goes about his enterprise.
He acquired right here fairly early final week to begin coaching and is trying fairly good. He hits the ball most likely the cleanest of anybody on tour and it is such a very good shot. He’s seeded No. 1 for a motive.
