There is so much to admire about what he is doing.
Felix Auger-Aliassime is almost playing catch up in these rallies.

BBC Sport at Roland GarrosNovak Djokovic wrapped up victory against Lorenzo Musetti at 3:07am last night - by far the latest finish ever at the French Open.
The decision by the tournament to put Grigor Dimitrov's unfinished match against Zizou Bergs on Court Philippe Chatrier - before Djokovic and Musetti in the night session - backfired.
That match, which was rained off on Friday, was moved to Chatrier when it looked Alexander Zverev was going to wrap up a four-set victory against Tallon Griekspoor in the final match of the day session.
However, that went to five sets before Dimitrov needed four sets to beat Bergs.
It meant Djokovic and Musetti did not step on court until 10:37pm.
In January, the ATP and WTA Tours jointly brought in a new rule which means no matches can start after 11pm.
They are three-set matches, of course, and it hasn't been applied to the four Grand Slams - which make their own rules.

*Auger-Aliassime 3-6 3-6 0-3 Alcaraz
Our match on Philippe Chatrier feels inevitable now. Carlos Alcaraz goes to 40-0.
But he then double faults and hits an unforced error. 40-30, is he opening the door? Well, next point he squeezes to a hold with a thunderous forehand cross-court winner.
Probably still inevitable then.

He comes at you and you don't have time to think.
Felix Auger-Aliassime has a lot to do here but there are too many unforced errors.

Arnaldi 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 2-6 2-6 Tsitsipas
Stefanos Tsitsipas wraps it up in four. He's into the quarter-finals with a 3-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 6-2 win over Matteo Arnaldi, sealing the deal with a backhand into open space.
That's the fourth time in five years the Greek has reached the last eight at Roland Garros.
He'll play Carlos Alcaraz or Felix Auger-Aliassime next - more than likely the former, given how that match is going.

It's vital Auger-Aliassime holds here. He goes to 40-15 but Alcaraz soon forces deuce with a lob that the Canadian meets, but can only volley long and wide.
Why does tennis finish so late?published at 14:59 2 June

BBC Sport at Roland GarrosThat is a question which has been regularly asked - and is the one again on everyone's lips at Roland Garros today.
Money is usually the answer as a result of scheduling and broadcasting factors.
Player welfare seems to come lower down in the priorities.
The French Open only introduced night sessions from 2021, following the Australian Open and US Open - where early-morning finishes are common.
Who could have forgotten when Andy Murray finished gone 4am in Melbourne last year?
Here is a piece from then which attempts to answer why tennis finishes so late.
