That's what I'm saying. This dude has most likely not even reached his best. He's been plagued by injuries so far and with the little matches he played on HCs since 2020, a shoulder surgery and a 1 year injury hiatus he managed to defeat Musetti, Nadal, Bautista Agut, FAA and Tsitsipas and dropping only 1 set the entire tournament? That's actually wild and speaks for his talent. Just watch his H2Hs against todays top guys. Leads Nadal 3-2, Federer 2-4 (1 win at a HC masters SF and one to win Halle on grass), ties Murray 2-2, leads Medvedev 4-2, leads Tsitsipas 2-0, leads Fritz 4-0, ties Zverev 3-3, leads Ruud 1-0, leads FAA 2-1, 2-3 against Thiem, ties Hurkacz 1-1.
Those numbers are actually pretty freaking impressive for someone who got overlooked by most people in the next gen discussion. His issue were clearly of injuries and confidence nature. Hr could be knocked out easily by bums, but against the top guys, he always puts up a fight. The only nightmarish numbers I can think of are his H2H against Cilic, who leads 8-0 and Djokovic 4-0. With the latter being clearly a match up issue. He doesn't stand a chance against Novak's tennis
