Thanks! Love Steve insights! A bit disappointed that you got discussions on most top players except Carlos. There are tons of questions on Carlos. Why didn’t you cover Carlos performance in this podcast? Some questions include: How can carlos fix his performance inconsistency? This is not easy to figure out, is it even fixable in your opinion? Do you think he lacks the motivation / hunger / mentality to stay in the top 2? Do you think he is making the right decisions in general? You briefly mentioned towards the end of the podcast his unnecessary busy off-season period (busy exhibition schedule, flying to different time zones, hanging around, etc) instead of training a bit on improving his hardcourt performance and focusing on AO (clearly 2024 showed that fast harcourt is his weakness). Do you feel a lack of focus as we are heading to 2025? He is talented but are his lack of discipline and mentality waisting his potential? Is he hungry enough and confident enough to do everything possible to win? Do you think he can still compete with sinner in 2025 or did sinner put a good gap between his game level and Carlos? Now that all courts are faster globally, will we see Carlos continuing to struggle? What Carlos can do to improve his performance on fast hard courts? What do you think of the new coach announcement? So many questions, it is a shame you spent so much time discussing Sinner and Novak and skipping Carlos
