Some of us saw this coming, he has the X factor. His serve needs to improve for Grass and some hard court but he has a great all round game. Let's see him go to work in a slam over 5 sets. This is where the Nadal and Djokovic excel
He’s winning a lot of close sets against the top players a couple of lapses in a 5 setter and he could easily lose. He’s def a second week player in Roland but I don’t want to crown him yet. Getting to the qtrs is fine with me for him

Yeah I think he gets to week 2 for sure. He can win FO but it's a tough ask still.

He’s skipping Rome this week and resting for the FO

for comparison sake, he’s almost exactly where Rafa was in 05 but remember back then, every clay final was a best of 5 and not best of a best of 3 like it is now (outside of the French Open).

whats the difference between clay and grass? Does one cause the ball to go faster?
