Summary
Carlos didn’t realize it until it was too late.
He had been warned thoroughly of what could happen if two alphas engaged in a sexual relationship with each other - if the conditions layered perfectly together to create a disaster to biology.

Summary
Hate wouldn’t be the proper term for what Carlos feels for Jannik - pretty sure fucking someone you hate would signify he doesn’t truly hate him - but is Carlos itching for the next match so he can be the one pressing Jannik down into the mattress as payback? Absolutely.

Summary
"Something happened while he was out, exiled. While he watched from the sidelines as everybody kept improving and playing and giving interviews. While journalists and men of culture speculated about drugs he never used. Something in him stopped, in those interminable weeks, something in him broke and he can’t put it back together, regardless of how much he tries, how much he has tried for the last few months."
or,
Things get worse, and then they slowly get better.

Summary
Years later, Jannik often thought back to the day when he first met Carlos Alcaraz, because perhaps the most interesting thing about it all was that their first meeting wasn't so earth-shattering. Jannik didn't feel like the ground had been pulled out from under his feet, and there weren't even butterflies in his belly. He simply turned around and found the young boy in the corner of the burning red clay court, who he had no idea at the time would change his whole life.
He was a lanky, short boy, with dark brown curls falling from his forehead, clutching in his hand a racket that might have been too heavy for him at the time. He flicked his eyes back and forth, as if he didn't believe where he was at first. For a moment, their eyes met. Carlos smiled broadly and waved boldly at him, as if they were ancient friends, not two strangers whose only thing in common was a racket in their hands. Jannik may or may not have waved at him, but he remembered that he immediately looked down at his shoes, red with clay and did not dare to look at the boy again.
