Game preview : Montreal Masters is still in first round, the last matches will end this round. So with first round all players get 16,595$, In second round they will get much more and for all players, especially for those who don‘t have good ranking and came here via qualification round and managed to win first round it will be just amazing, all players also get more points in second round. So today in first round will meet two different, but interesting players, American Jack Sock and French player Piere Herbert.
Let’s talk about players :
Jack Sock(17) - Very talented and very smart player, he is still young, only 24 years. American maybe young, but very intellegence at tennis, smart and he is fun to watch. Like real american he is tall 191cm and like american player he have very solid serve. Burito lover, like he say's about himself this year showing a super result on hardcourt, 25/7 score on hard, he improved a lot in two weeks, played two tournaments at home. After few years down, he came to good play like Jiri Vesely with doubles help, he won few important titles with doubles partners and all that wining energy came to singles. Jack won to titles playing singles matches in Auckland at the season start and later in Delray Beach. Strong sides of Jack Sock ? Well of course it's his serve, very strong and solid, and acuraccy of serve sometimes really impressive. Also power play with strong forehand is second thing in Jack arsenal and last but very important thing is his mind. Currently player in 17 ranking position, but with hard surface all around he already improving his ranking.
Herbert Pierre(69) – Tall French player, who mostly finds himself in doubles with his partner Nicolas Mahut, but some time like this he also plays on singles tournaments, after winning qualification round he will meet American. Herbert is mostly known for his height and big serve, on fast court he is very dangerous, he like to serve and volley, he can run really fast, his technique quite good, he have all the qualities to be a good player, but somehow he manages to be in second half of top100. Only 4/5 score on hard this year, not much, but in his all career he have only 83/57 score, like we said, he don’t play often in singles. Still player is dangerous, most important thing to win in Frenchman play is serve and fast shots.
Comparing the players : We can say better players is Jack Sock, he is higher in ranking, he perform much better this year, plays more and more successful. If we compare the serve it can be very even, because Jack serves really well too. Agility is on Jack side too, he is more athletic , his all tennis play is much more faster. If we talk about talent and strategy we can say Jack is just better on everything.
What to expect : Players already met this year in Australian Open, start of the season was very good for Jack, but Pierre managed to compete with him in AO, he didn’t win a set, but he made Jack sweat. At this moment Jack is in very good shape, but Pierre played qualification so he is getting in good shape to for this tournament. We guess both players are playing very good tennis at the moment, but there is one thing Jack can make some mistakes after two tournaments he played last weeks, so in this tournament he won’t be so fresh. Our guess we will see a lot of game’s in this match.
