Joao Sousa - Kameron Norrie

Estoril, 1. round, clay

Once again Joao Souas is underrated from Book'ies view, but i see that he can perform quite well today and like always fight till end. Mostly Sousa play's very nice and 3 set's especially if his opponent is not quite real clay type player and do not play often there like Norrie.

Why Sousa?

1) If we see in general Sousa is better clay player and have more experience in career and knows the surface better.
2) 2019 these two players have met on hard surface and we saw that Sousa can play there good and Norrie didn't win easily, so we can expect even better results on clay.
3) Sousa is playing for long time now on clay and in general he is more ready, because Norrie played just one tournament which was quite good performance, but in second tournament which is only ATP250 he probably will skip best play.
