I think  they parted after things began looking kinda sour.

Yes, Aries and Krickstein stay quite a bit to the left (protecting
backhands), but "trouble cracking eggs"? Arias almost throws
his arm out of the socket when he hits backhand - very hard-hit shot!
He does not slice it too often or too gracefully. Krickstein's
two-hander is not bad at all - hard to read, good lob,...

That's probably right, but note that these two and Horwath
had grave injury problems. Conditioning may be a factor.

Actually I suspect some psychological problems, but can't pinpoint
any...
