Unbelievable what's happened to both Felix and Dennis since showing so much promise as teenagers. Shapo's career is almost over and Felix is settling into a top 100 type of journeyman player. It's a bit of a cruel sport but at the same time Felix has flatlined the past two years and for whatever reason is just fine sticking with the same coach for the past 7 years that's taken him as far as he can go. To be the best you have to want it badly and make difficult decisions along the way. It's pretty clear Felix can't or won't make those decisions and is comfortable where he's at as this isn't a minor slump as it's been two years of his prime where he's struggled.
