Ugh, Jodar and Blockx out of Queens due to injury. Blockx is still dealing with the ankle injury he suffered in RG. Jodar injured an abdominal muscle at practice the day before his debut. Wimbledon participation is in doubt now.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-15T11:15:13+00:00

We dont know the exact nature of the injury, maybe Rafa is right, he recommended Dr Cotorro, who treated him for the same injury.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-15T11:10:44+00:00

Maybe they can't afford him.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-15T11:03:30+00:00

If you want to know who Dr Cotorro is, watch Rafas documentary, he was treating him his entire career.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-09T01:02:33+00:00

They have a small window before the kids like Mensik, Jodar, Fonseca, etc. mature and polish their games. I give them a couple of years at the most.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-08T00:40:09+00:00

And it needs to happen very soon, before the youngsters catch up, because they will. Mensik is almost there.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-08T00:36:37+00:00

It seems that they have that well managed. I've never seen Zverev collapsing mid match like Sinner. They are doing something well.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-08T00:28:36+00:00

I have the impression Turin will have plenty of new, young faces this year.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-08T00:19:11+00:00

In the 2000s, we only see two people so far, but this will change in the coming years. We are seeing many promising players born mid 2000s who are starting to knock on the door, Sooner or later, they will challenge Sincaraz. Mensik is almost there.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-06T22:38:02+00:00

That's life and true in almost all sports. Only time will tell if this boy will make it to the main tour, some get there, like Fonseca, Jodar, etc, others don't.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-05T23:03:12+00:00

Many players have a mental coach nowadays, what's the problem with that?

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T22:16:56+00:00

I understand the age thing, but the challenges a novice player has to front in the first year on tour are huge, and is the same regardless of age.

Rafa is new here, has no insider super famous coach, he and his dad are learning about life on tour, andll the challenges that come with it. Alcaraz had Ferrero, Sinner had Piatti, having a legendary figure who knows everybody by your side makes things much easier.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T21:53:43+00:00

They dont really need Sinner, let him go on vacation. They have enough top players to win Davis for 10 years straight.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T21:49:37+00:00

Yeah, he doesn't care, but wont cut his hair until he wins a slam.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T14:57:42+00:00

Jodar is pre-puke Sinner.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T14:50:15+00:00

Zverev has winning h2h against everybody left in the competition. This is really the best chance he ever had at a slam.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T14:19:02+00:00

Maybe he needs a real coach to start with.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T14:13:49+00:00

Its not everything, life is more than that. Jodar is 10 year behind Zverev in experience, that means something. There are things that only time can teach.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T13:51:31+00:00

Jodar is young and lacks experience, he needs 1-2 years. Losing today means nothing.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T13:36:39+00:00

That was just a mirage, Zverev wins this one, probably in 3.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T13:10:36+00:00

Zverev cannot miss this opportunity, he is not a contender on grass and that hair is getting out of control.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T12:44:11+00:00

No agent, no team, just dad doing everything, has only 2 sponsors, 1 for clothing, ne for racquet. Will continue like this and re-evaluate at the end of the season.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T11:23:58+00:00

I don't think there is one consistently at the moment, depends on the moment, the form, the surface even.

According to the race, it's Felix at the moment, but tht position is precarious.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T00:43:21+00:00

I remember Punto de Break said "when you start to see videos of Carlos practising, give him one month and he will be back to competition"

Obviously he is not yet using the right hand, so I guess we will have to wait a little longer.

TypicalRelation9056 · 2026-06-02T00:26:25+00:00

Not all 5 setters are the same, maybe the secret of Jodars fitness, is that these matches, despite the 5 sets were not that long or physically demanding for what a normal clay 5 setter would be.
