Summary
It’s strange, Carlos thinks, resetting for the next serve. He’s the fast one — horizontal acceleration that leaves the Internet sputtering, the one who tears across the court like he’s got rockets attached to his feet, who loves the thrill and the sprint and the speed of it all. But clay courts are slow. His drop shots are slow.
And Jannik, who moves through the world like he holds all the time in it — Jannik’s game is rapid; playing him is like playing twice as fast. Those baseline shots are violence disguised as pleasantries.
Carlos is so stupidly giddy about his little mental dichotomies that he fails to return the first serve. 15-love.
