Carlitos out for Rome and the French open.

Nagging wrist injury. Damn I was looking forward to the French.

So who is going to have the speed and forehand to deal with Sinner on the clay of Roland Garros.

I want to say Arthur Fils but he needs a bit more seasoning. IMO

Damn.

Looks that way to me as well. Prairie_Seagull Apr 24 #3

It's interesting that Sinner himself was far more gracious about Carlos' injury than some of his fans.... tishaLA Apr 26 #7

who use it to hope that he can get closer to Carlos in the GS titles, which, as we know, Carlos currently possesses 3 of the 4

Carlos and creativity and speed not to mention the best forehand in tennis. I look forward to many match ups between the two. Of course Carlos needs the time off to heal, of course.

I will still watch, Need to keep my eye on Fonseca. Maybe he could give sinner a go. Depends on the draw. Maybe Zverev? Like to see Fonseca in a final.

He has a killer forehand but his consistency can be a problem. He's also funny! -- After his match the other day, Prakash Amritraj was interviewing him post-match d on the Tennis Channel and he said that he was complaining after losing the second set and his fitness coach in his box told him "shut the fuck up!" -- and then he repeated it! https://www.reddit.com/r/tennis/comments/1suvx7k/arthur_fils_fitness_coach_told_him_to_shut_the_f/

IMO I'm not very impressed with Fonseca despite the hype machine behind him. I'm sure he'll make it to the top 10, but do I see him winning any slams? Not really.
