Raphael Collignon

more than women's tennis and especially in quicker conditions and we have both present here obviously we're a men's tennis podcast but uh we have the quickest of quick conditions generally so you do have look the crowd is great as well by the way i'm watching as we're recording i've got calling y'all versus uh baz already on in front of me and they were still going like raf rafael was playing terrible terribly like awful tennis down a second break crowd is still like pumped every time he'd win a point uh one what is his service game to get to one two crowds going nuts i'm like guys guys you guys you guys still got a set to break it's five two now look at that um But, you know, they're going to be on, obviously, on Goffin's side for the whole match.

But I don't think the crowd is responsible for the Collignon comeback.

I think that's just him being a much better player than Bas already in quick conditions and finding his level.

And I don't think Goffin has that level anymore.

And then you've got some really interesting ones.

Collignon, another Belgian player.

Holger Roon and Talon Grigspor.

So that's a tough section as well.

Livoni's had some very good wins away from the clay in recent times, not least beating Novak Djokovic at the US Open, beat Berrettini also at the US Open and at the Canada Masters.

He's also beaten Blocks, Vacheron, and Collignon on hard courts this year.

So he's far from a clay-only man these days in the right conditions.

Obviously, if it's lightning quick, you would expect him to be overpowered.
