Mrzz I am getting a bit worried you havent appeared yet on TF after Fonseca''s win?
I could not watch the match on the live feed. I started watching about an hour late ( but from the beginning), so I had to avoid all internet to be safe from spoilers.

I spent the whole match afraid of a let down which fortunately never came!!! Uffff

The draw was wide open and he just beat the two remaining top dogs.

You mentioned his tennis IQ... After the match he gave an interview in Portuguese to fellow Brazilian Bruno Soares (won a few GS in doubles), he described the "chess match" they were playing not to let each other with the forehand inside out.

Too many youngsters and players he likes left in the draw with a shot at the title. He is on a spiritual retreat focused on finding out who is rooting for. The retreat is scheduled to end on September the 7th, 2031.

I wonder how much Mensik has left in the tank after these marathon matches.
If there is one advantage that Zverev has over the youngsters, it's that he has taken care of business and has spent less time on the court. Mensik, Fonseca, and Jodar have each played several marathon, 5-set matches.

One big problem Zverev has Big Mental Issues when pressured
These youngsters are swinging from the hips and have Belief In Themselves and Their Games
Zverev goes into Defensive Mode when he is pressure, seen it over and over again,
