Carlos needs to get a grip on his lapses in quality. Damn difficult to watch him not knowing when it will come up. Otherwise he's a genuine pleasure to watch him when he's firing on all cylinders. Vamos!

Very happy about the result but it was a case of winning “ugly”. So many ups and downs in the match. Carlos really needs to work on his serve. Zverez had no energy left at the end. He lost even though he had like 75% of first serves in. If he can’t win with those numbers I don’t think he will ever win one. He was talking about his conditioning in the press conference but he seems oblivious to the fact that Carlos and Sinner are much younger than him. He will never have an advantage in that department. Now onto the grass court season!

Ya. I felt zverev had an edge early on. It was a case of managing for Carlos. But he seemed to find another gear, esp in the last set. Impressed that he got very tactical in the last 2 sets, and seemed to throw z off his rhythm.

Grass season, let's gooooo!
