The hard facts are he's a class below the top two, what does he have to do to get to their level, grow another foot taller and pinch Kyrgios's serve.

How do you stay motivated when you know deep down you're likely never going to be good enough to win a slam.

Yeah, he had that look of a head like a beaten favourite in his presser, feeling like he's flogging a dead horse.

Suppose he could get lucky in a slam draw if the top two fall to upsets/injury, that's how you would think at the moment he gets any chance of look in.

Players mustn't have tried and hit the ball hard in the first 70 or 80 years of tennis

Never happened in other ball striking sports

It should be stamped out at junior level, it is a tactic to put your opposition off, nothing else.
