Carlito, are you hot?

We see it immediately when the guy is hot: his forehand is devastating. And there... I'm mixed guys!

And yes, Carlito does not convince me in the content of his matches. De Jong is an excellent player, but Carlito has the weapons to beat him 3-0. The heavy dirt and swelling balls don't help his powerful game, but still. Normally he is more creative too. Anyway, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see a "prime" Carlito at the moment. Neither a Sinner for that matter, nor a Djokovic, but those are two other subjects. As for Korda, I think he has progressed well on earth, especially mentally. His tournament in Madrid and Rome were really good, I see a guy who no longer collapses and who avoids quagmires. We had a little scare in his R1 here with an illness which caused him to have cramps. He played better against Kwon even though he wasn't in GOAT mode. The big players gain strength throughout the tournament and that doesn't worry me too much. I expect a much better Korda today, who can and will bother Carlito. First big test for the Spaniard who will have to reassure us very quickly!
