He may lose a set here or there but no matter who he's facing he seems able to win the big points in the match that turn the tides in his favor. It's a shame about the drug test scandal as it casts a bit of a shadow over a player that is flat out dominating the tour.

Carlos is still ahead on the age development curve but let's see whether he's able to still take advantage of that two year gap. Both are physical and mental freaks in different ways and yet both are universally likeable, which is not something that could always be said during the greatest rivalries in history. I'm glad they came up nearly around the same time because it maximizes the number of seasons they can push each other to insane heights we've not yet seen before, and that's including what we witnessed during the Big 3 era.
