Revenge in the air

Trailing 4-1 in their hard-court encounters, Carlito seems determined to show a completely different side to Indian Wells...

Okay, I'm going to go cash: Carlito is back, friends. I've never seen such an aggressive guy in my life. You have so little time to react that you pray for his 150 km/h shot to come out. We feel a few very small flaws sometimes which show that he is still regaining confidence. It could cost him victory against Sinner in the final, but not against Zverev here. There you go, I'm getting wet. Anything can happen, but if he keeps this level he will win. Everything else, I agree with you eh. The match up against Zverev is not the best. Big server on Carlito's improveable return, well rounded and deep trajectories in the exchange to calm the Spaniard's aggressiveness and make him commit a little more mistakes and therefore make him lose a little confidence... I know all that. I also know that Z had 3 bad matches, but that he won everything, and that it is often in these conditions that he will come out on top against Carlito. But for me, the “Carlito prime” trumps the “Zverev prime.” Especially since I love this “revenge” side because you think about it day and night, you transpose yourself into the match, visualize yourself, and I believe in these things which prepare your brain. Long live Carlito!
