   Summary

   There will be time to face Carlos again, on bigger stages, with bigger thundercracks of vicious forehands and petulant, delicate, cruel little drop shots. There will be more rallies made up of the kind of miracles that he used to watch on television. And there will be a time when Jannik is victorious.

   or: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner's relationship developing across each of their matchups (from the 2021 Paris Masters to the 2025 US Open final), as told from the perspective of the loser of each match.
