Joau Sousa, the number one Portugese player on the ATP Tour, was favoured to get past Roger Vasselin in the first round. Souza did it in style, he lost a set, but still in style: 6-1 3-6 6-0. But Vasselin was not quite himself in that match and the victory can be put to question.
It can be put to question specifically because Sousa underperformed this season, particularly in the last two months. Beating a below - par Roger Vasselin is not a big achievement. We all know how good can make you look when an opponent plays a bad match.
Raonic will be one of the biggest tests of Sousa's career and I do not see him passing this test.
As we know Milos is one of the most stable players on tour and he doesn't think twice before beating lower rated opponents. A casual straight sets wins for Raonic is what I expect. What I don't expect is the odds to stay as high tomorrow.
Too much space in class. Raonic 2-0.
