Both are competeting at different age. There is no substitute for age in a burtal sport like tennis, where speed and agility is paramont. You cannot rely on others to hit that ball, only you can!
Give them both a break. Yes Carlos is so like Rafa in his younger days, it’s unreal. We can’t take away what Rafa has achieved over the years. WE can only admire and give credit to Carlos for what he has done thus far.
TOTAL RESPECT for both these great athletes!!!
