you're still tentative and may hold back snapping it as hard as you might on a given stroke.
ND did look off in this match, he didn't look fresh, had 54 UEs, almost twice the amount that Sinner had. Early on, I thought this match would be similar to ND's match w Fritz, start slow and then blow Sinner out in the last 2 sets primarily because of ND's superior fitness. Didn't happen and Sinner played very well, never looked tired And was poised, he's only 22.
So will ND come back to play at his previous level or as Steely Dan says, are we seeing a Change of the Guard?
