I'm always reminded of a tweet from 2022 about him and Sinner and how both needed to improve their serves to really improve as players, which would in turn make them less interesting to watch. Feel like that's definitely happened to Sinner for me in some regard, kinda hope Carlos stays as fun 😆

I think regardless of how he develops it'll always be there to some extent. You can try quelling those instincts but in the big moments that will always be what he wants to do- go after the ball. It's very frustrating sometimes but its also beautiful.

Only the 4th woman to complete the sunshine double in that run too! Insane to find form in February and keep it up to win a slam. The longevity is still mind-blowing to me

The one benefit of being a true teen prodigy is you can have big injuries and a lot of shit derail you but still be relatively young on the other side with plenty of years ahead of you. Shapovalov in a somewhat similar situation in that regard.
