Adrian Mannarino: “The grass, my salvation surface” before Wimbledon
After 8 defeats on earth, Mannarino (38 years old) is banking on his status as a grass specialist to save his season at Wimbledon.
Adrian Mannarino, 38, heads to Wimbledon with a personal rescue mission after a clay-court season marked by a dark streak of eight consecutive defeats. The Frenchman, usually at ease on grass, endured a difficult spring, not winning a single match on ocher and stringing together poor performances against sometimes less well-ranked opponents. This total disillusionment on the slow surface contrasts violently with his record and his sensations on grass, a surface where he has already shone in the past.
