“He is cut from the same cloth as Rafa. If he has to play patient and steady, you want to play 30 balls, no problem, he will play 31,” he continued. “But the difference with Carlos, is the quality of his consistency. It’s one thing to be consistent, but to do it at 50, 60, 70, 80 miles an hour ten times in a row – that’s a whole different animal.” he added in a video posted on his YouTube channel.
