chances to win the Australian Open this year are increasing according to the seven-time Grand Slam winner . On Eurosport, the Swede, after Serenas 6-2 6-1 win , said: I think she is playing much better than last year although she reached two Grand Slam finals, this court surface is absolutely perfect for her because its much easier to move.
Guys like Djokovic and Shapovalov slide way easier on this court. But the same for Serena, you do not have to pick up your feet quite as much. added: She looked really impressive.
She is moving much better. She is hitting the ball great. She is not making too many mistakes. She attacks very well on forehand and backhand side and she is serving great. Corretja commented on Novak Djokovics 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-0 third round match win over Denis Shapovalov on Saturday.
Djokovic lost a little bit the momentum, the focus on the court, said Corretja on Eurosport. The surprising thing is that Shapovalov won the third and then lost the fourth to love. I would have expected a tight fourth set.
Corretja also shared a tactical thought: He feels very comfortable especially with his backhand cross. When the guys do not play too cross, he can chase on the line and especially hit backhand cross. He returns very well when they serve wide, and thats why they struggle against him.
