Nadal's career end ressembling Fed's...

The eliteness and the drive are still there so he wants one last dance but his body can't take it any more.

Rafa Nadal on Instagram: "Hi all, during my last match in Brisbane I had a small problem on a muscle that as you know made me worried. Once I got to Melbourne I have had the chance to make an MRI and I have micro tear on a muscle, not in the same par

Do you think Felix Auger Aliassime has a chance to make it to the next level, or is it over for him?

I think this year will be the tell. He needs a serious rebound from last year. At least a Masters title.

Walking this unless he has a mentel breakdown.

I think he can, it's just seems mental with him. It's like he's "too nice" if that makes sense.

1. Alcaraz
2. Sinner
3. Sheldon

are the only 3 I think could take him out of all the folks he could face. Alcaraz cause he's already done it, Sinner cause he's got the game to imo and has pushed Novak to 5 before in a GS, and Sheldon cause I think he's got the Verdasco/young Tsonga in him to just redline on a given day and blow anyone off the court.
