The Asian tour is well underway. Most of the world’s best players have stopped off in Beijingfor an ATP 500 preparation before the Shanghai Masters 1000. Others are at Tokyo. But the conclusion is the same in both cases: the players who played the Wash Cup last weekend did not perform, or even forfeited. So should we believe in a feat of Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard facing Carlos Alcarazor of Gael Monfils facing Daniil Medvedev ?

The results of the players who played the Wash Cup is disastrous in this start of the Asian tour. Grigor Dimitrov And Alexander Zverev even withdrew before starting, the latter suffering from pneumonia. Among the other members, only Ben Shelton has so far passed his first round, dropping a set to the modest Reilly Opelka. Otherwise, we note the abnormal and surprising defeats of Taylor Fritz, Alejandro Tabilo, Frances Tiafoe And Stefanos Tsitsipas has Tokyo. That’s a lot.
The quality of service of Giovanni Mpetshi can therefore be a sufficient weapon against a Carlos Alcaraz who may be tired from traveling and his many matches at Berlin. For his part, Gael Monfilsalready winner of Carlos Alcaraz has Cincinnati in August, can hope to bring down Daniil Medvedevoutgoing finalist at BeijingThere is room for the Blues, despite the difficulty of the Challenge.
