Analysis of the match

The Stakes of the Match

Both players are aiming for the round of 16. No advantage to level of motivation

State of form

Toma Junior Popov has just reached his best professional career ranking very recently with the 18th place in the world which he achieved in October. The French player notably shone on the courts of the Hylo Open in Germany where he reached the grand final before failing against his brother Christo. The last tournaments have been difficult for our Frenchman who has had few opportunities to follow up with high-flying clashes against the top 10 in the world. He notably fell against stronger players than him in the first round of the Finnish Open and in the first round of the Danish Open with clashes against Li Shi Fend (n°9) and Antonsen (n°3). Last week, another member of the world top 5, Naraoka, stopped his run in the second round in Japan. As a reminder, the Frenchman had the privilege of competing in the Olympic Games at home as the best Frenchman, which is no longer the case. During the last Olympics, Toma Junior Popov got the better of the American Shu before dominating, to the surprise, Anthony Ginting. He then lost in the round of 16 against Lee Zii Jia.

The Hong Kong player currently remains on a series of 3 consecutive defeats after failing in the second round of the Finnish Open against world No. 5 Vitidsarn who also eliminated him last week in the first round of the Kumamoto Open in Japan. In the meantime, Ng Ka LA failed from the start at the Danish Open against another Frenchman, Alex Lanier. However, the world No. 19 returned to the secondary circuit in order to regain his confidence after a particularly difficult season. He notably won the Macau tournament at the end of September by winning his 5 matches and dropping only 2 sets in total. Since his semi-final against Lee Zii Jia on the courts of Malaysia last April, Ng Ka LA has only won one victory on the main circuit (against a tired Alex Lanier after his success in Japan) and has dominated the top 15 in the world. His best performance this year remains his final on the courts of Thailand where he notably got the better of the local favorite Vitidsarn. Popov slight advantage on form
