Technical analysis of his clay court game 📊
Mérida based his triumph on an effective serve and a deep forehand that unsettled Moutet. His ability to read the Frenchman's spins and respond with flat shots gave him an advantage in long rallies. Mobility on the court and management of key points, such as the two breaks in each set, were crucial to closing the match without losing his serve.
Moutet, the showman who ran out of script 🤡
Corentin Moutet tried everything: drop shots, lobs, changes of pace, and even a few protests to the chair umpire. But neither his circus repertoire nor his frustrated gestures managed to distract a Mérida who seemed to have a not today, thanks sign on the net. In the end, the Frenchman went home with as many tricks as unforced errors.
