Ignacio Buse

You know what could be a value loser here? Because I'm seeing Adrian Manorino at 100-1, Steve.

And he draws Buse, who I...

I mean, we'll talk about that matchup coming up.

I think he has a very strong chance of beating Buse on a quicker-ish hard court.

Menchique, I think, is a player he could upend as well.

So I understand, you know, climbing the hurdle that would be the big-serving Menchique in round two, but I... has men's chic really done anything of note for some time and just a really tough player, uh, for the, the tall men's chic and manner Reno.

It's moved a little bit.

People are in agreement with me.

I think he's a big danger here and I really like the draw for him.

He's going to play Neumar in round one and then he's going to play Manorino or Buse in round two.

So that's a really nice route for him to get to a quarterfinal.

Where he would likely face, who have we got? Yeah, it's honestly whoever he faces in the quarter is going to be tough because the players in there are Cam Norrie, Francisco Sorundolo, Danny Merida and Daniil Medvedev.

be back.

And why are we sitting down this week with Ignacio Buzet?

Well, yeah, I got to meet him in Beijing when I was at the China Open recently.

So, yeah, a great opportunity to sit down with one of the most exciting rising stars in the game.

Yeah, I got to actually experience that crowd excitement for Ignacio at the US Open where lots of Peruvians came out to support him.

And it was great to hear your interview and I guess the deeper meaning behind what he's achieving for his nation.

Ignacio Buse, thank you very much for joining us on the Sit Down podcast.

It's good to see you here in Beijing.

He's played like plenty of tennis in Lever Cup and then he's played plenty of tennis in Tokyo all the way to the final where he's going to play tonight.

in a very tough match, it's a quick change of conditions, come to Shanghai, and all of a sudden you're in, and you're playing Juan Manuel Cerundolo, then you're playing Ignacio Buse, okay, they're easy enough starters, but then you get Valentin Vachero, or you get Tommy Paul in the fourth round, before a chance to meet Fritz, and I think Fritz has a very decent chance here, so I will add Fritz to the list at 20-1.

As you can probably tell, Alcaraz is not going to be on my list.

Tommy Paul is 14 in the race.
