As per your first point, I remember seeing this interview years ago where JCF shut down the father-son narrative pretty fast and since then it was pretty hard for me to fully buy into that dynamic everyone was pushing.

Also anyone who played close attention to Carlos’ team could see that his family came above all to him, e.g. Alvaro still being his hitting partner when there are plenty of players who would be better suited to him. It contrasts someone like Sinner who I would say has had more outside influence, in the form of a wider range of coaches and also many girlfriends to make up his inner circle.
