We Predicted the match of the 1/8 finals of the tournament in Acapulco Emma Cameron Norrie – John Isner.
This season, Norrie has no room for error. Last year, the Briton scored a huge number of rating points. Now the tennis player will have to defend them in major competitions, which is not an easy task, given that Cameron does not have such experience. Norrie has had a poor start to the season but is now in top form as he won the ATP tournament at Delray Beach just a few days ago and has gained confidence.
Norrie acts on the court in a variety of ways. He is in no hurry to complete the draws quickly, keeps the ball in the court for a long time, and is ready to seize the initiative at the first opportunity. Recently, the tennis player has noticeably improved his serve and scored easy points.
(with the help of the first ball). Cameron performs much more confidently on fast surfaces.
Isner will turn 37 in a few months. But the American is still competitive on tour and plays in the final stages of major competitions. John no longer pays 100% attention to tennis; he spends more and more time with his family; he sacrifices tournaments. At the moment, Isner has no reason to retire from tennis.
Isner constantly has stamina problems. He can hardly withstand long matches, after which he does not always have time to recover for the next meeting. John is addicted to the serve and sags on the second ball, especially regarding exchanges.
Norrie surpasses Isner in all game parameters, except for the serve. Due to the first ball, John will stay in the match, but Cameron showed a few days ago that he knows how to resist the “served.” I think Norrie will win. I do not rule out that the fight will drag on.
