So easy?

I saw both Alcaraz/Rinder at Queen's, and Carlito was anything but serene!

Indeed, two very complicated matches for Carlito. The first in 2023, he was going to lose before Arthur got injured and was forced to drastically lower his intensity at the end of the second. The Frenchman was leading by a set + a break. And this year, it was close too. Now, you know as well as I do that Queen's is a special tournament for Carlito. He usually comes back from a final or victory at Roland Garros, followed by a vacation in Ibiza, and he takes on Arthur in the first rounds. Arthur, who has a very boring game on grass, and who has one more warm-up tournament than the Spaniard. The two play each other again after at Wim, it's not the same of course. But! There's still a boring matchup for Carlito. Very similar to Opelka's in the first round. The Frenchman will certainly apply a very aggressive strategy and send oats in return for seconds. This could put a lot of pressure on Carlito who, if he becomes a bit absent-minded again, could lose a tie-break or even a set. But here's the question: will he be locked in for the entire match?
