Also a Montrealer, I must admit being truly delighted for Auger-Aliassime (also sorry for Tsitsipas, though) = what a HUGE relief this Rotterdam title must feel/be for Auger-Aliassime! Finally!
Really enjoyed your detailed analysis, Matthew, many thanks. Fun reading/learning for all of us!
While following both Auger-Aliassime (upwards) and Tsitsipas (downwards) small, but very real, shifts in terms of self-belief, self-confidence, coaching/training "arrangements", etc, over the last year or so, the thought came more than once to mind of Tsitsipas perhaps considering having a talk with del Potro over a couple of Quimera glasses, à la Auger-Aliassime with Uncle Nadal. Wouldn't hurt, and might turn out to be, at the very least, helpful for Tsitsipas, who knows?
Incredible analysis. That forehand to backhand ratio, holy moly.

Great analysis as always. Nice to see FAA begin fulfilling his potentially more fully.
