it's like he used up every last drop of his tennis soul to win USO last year, and has been a shadow ever since. I also thought he mentioned something about the pandemic tour being especially difficult mentally, but he still hasn't turned it around even with the sound of cheers in the stands again. maybe it's a long covid thing?
