Carlos has two slams and a year end #1 and people are already saying he’s being replaced by Sinner and Rune… who have a grand total of one GS semifinal between them 😭
He’s clearly struggled slightly since Wimbledon but I think people should look at Nadals 2005-2007 years and Novaks 2008-2010 years and Federers pre-2003 years and realize they were losing a lot of matches besides to just each other as well and they weren’t winning every tournament they entered at 20 years old.
I’m kinda glad he had a relatively bad second half of the season tho cuz I do think he needs to work on his backhand in general as well as rally tolerance and shot selection and I think Becker and others saying things like this is gonna give him a lot of motivation (although I think he already has a lot of inner motivation already).
