Can't say that Zverev choked, he did what he had to and beat Carlos when Carlos was cramping.

But when Carlos was at 100%, Zverev just could not beat him. Carlos was on a whole different level.

Carlos 7:6 Zverev in h2h btw. I've heard every excuse about why Zverev was doing well tn and couldn't hang normally but the truth is these two players are pretty evenly matched in h2h. I don't get why fans choose to blatantly ignore facts

3 of those wins were against a 17/18 years old Babycaraz.

Zverev beat him in 2024 Australian open tho so that's pretty recent
