I thought he had lost quite a bit in 2024 and 1st half of last year, but thought he was playing like his former self the 2nd half of last year. Injuries played a factor in that.
His value in lining everyone up and being Flores' brain on the field is hard to measure.
Yea, the gates opened up for him this year, but to his credit, he took advantage. Alcarez not playing Wimbledon this year and I think he can beat Novak on grass, so it theoretically leaves Sinner in his way.
