But at the moment, he's the best of the rest.
He's still, for me, the clear number three.
And at the end of the day, he's not playing tennis for free, is he?
He's still being paid overtime.
A lot of money to come in, get this prize money to reach semifinals and at the moment to lose to Yannick Sinner because that's the side of the draw he's in.
I do feel that things would improve for him if he did manage to find a way to the other side of these draws because I do think things will be more competitive against him and Alcaraz because...
Everybody seems to find it easier to take games, take sets and to get into an actual match with Alcaraz because Alcaraz does have a habit of switching off.
Unless, of course, he comes up against Yannick Sinner where he does own that 10-6 head-to-head, which is just very odd.
And I do think that's something they want to iron out.
I'm not sure, though, going with a coach who...
allows you to go to Ibiza and has an understanding of why you need to go to Ibiza, why you need to go to these social events, why you want to mix being a tennis player with being a celebrity and understanding that you enjoy that side of things and basically being someone who concedes to that.
I still don't see how that's a better thing.
But time will tell.
Will Alcaraz actually benefit from this freedom?
Will it relax him a bit more?
What are the results of the serve going to be?
I need to see it until I can believe in it.
But for now, I have taken Sinner to win this tournament.
I still think Alcaraz is just so much better than everybody else.
Even with him being in somewhat of a transition period, I still think these two will meet in a final.
