In all championships there are always lesser players who
elevate the game like a dark sky brightened by a brilliant but stray
comet. For the moment, your attention is
diverted to its blaze, forgetting all about the giant planets
who do their things. So it was with
Lucas Rosol at the 2012 Wimbledon when he defeated Rafa. We won't even qualify Rosal as David. And so it is now with Jeremy Chardy, who was
born in France but now resides in Belgium.
I ‘write’ this to ‘play’ safe. I
have read Hercule Poirot and do not want to hurt Monsieur Chardy’s sentiments
by calling him either French or Belgian!
Lets not forget, he is the man who brought the Tower of Tandil, Juan Martin Del
Potro to his knees- 6-3, 6-3, 6-7, 3-6, 6-3.
Chardy was prepared to take the most risks, creating 17 break
point opportunites and of which he took advantage of 5. However he also had a high
count of unforced errors- 64 compared to 35 from Del Potro.
So how does he stand vis-à-vis Murray? My money is on
Murray!
