Complete Analysis

Diallo ML1.800.5u
  • Luciano Darderi played a final in Bastad, a semi-final in Estoril, then crossed the Atlantic to Los Cabos: 8 matches in 16 days, spanning two continents. The Italian press wondered aloud if this was a schedule worthy of a top 20 player.
  • The answer came last Thursday: retirement after 4 games against Dalibor Svrcina, his body said stop. Here he is in Montreal 5 days later, with no public certainty about his condition.
  • On the other hand, last night Gabriel Diallo delivered his cleanest match of the season for his first win in the Montreal draw: three sets without losing his serve, without even facing a break point. In the night session, in front of his home crowd, he's a different animal, and tonight we replay exactly that setting.
  • And the 23rd against the 108th on paper does not describe this match. Darderi's 27 wins this season are almost all on clay, his hard court record stands at 4 wins for 5 losses, and the surface numbers put the two men on an equal footing.
  • I keep my feet on the ground: Diallo's season remains weak, and a recovered Darderi remains a superior baseline player, capable of winning this match regularly. This is the risk taken by the ticket.
  • But between a server who has not let a break point slip through this week, carried by his city in the evening, and an organism that must prove it has erased in 5 days the fatigue of 3 weeks, I choose my side. Diallo in two tight sets, or in three if the body across holds the distance.
