I wish there was a new Nadal to support. Sinner and Alcaraz just don't have 'it' for me.

Way better than Murray. Murray never won a slam until age 25. Sinner probably has like 4/5 at that age

what about best 21 y 8 m year old?

@Kralingen Hes achieved more than Murray at that age. Therefore he will be winning more than 3 slams

Hmmm you didnt use that same logic with Alcaraz...no really, he obviously has more weapons than murray

Nadal brought in a lot of excitement and athleticism to Tennis to rise as a rival to the great Federer. He was shining brighter than the entire tour which was older to him.
Such a player does not exist right now. Maybe in the future such players will arrive.
Nadal was just inevitable on Clay when he arrived, you instantly knew he was unique.

If </= 22 you’re basically asking if he’s better than Alcaraz or 2009 Del Potro. No other great young players since Djokovic

Sinner still needs to improve many things to dominate or to constantly be the best player. But he has the confidence and the mentality for my liking. So he is on the right track and probably will only improve from now on.
Had Sinner crush Medvedev in 3 or 4 it would have been huge message to the tour.

Yes, also because Alcaraz isn't 22 yet

I think Sinners better. Del potro never made it past QF at AO and was never in a real shot at winning that title

Peak Delpo is still better at this stage imo, but Sinner likely to end up the greater player.

It was his first slam final. He will play better this season. Also the head to head is 6-4 now which is very important

@nolefam_2024 Same level as Nole? Both had AO titles

yeah something like that seems acurate to me

Sinner was up 2-0 on eventual Wimbledon champ Djokovic and had match point on eventual USO champ Alcaraz. I think he was ahead of Del Po

Nole had AO title almost every year. Sinner is still improving. Right now he looks ready to start his own era.

He’s ahead of Murray at 22. That’s a good sign. He will be ATG if he continues at this rate

Will see. Should admit i rarely watch matches outside of Nadal usually but he seems to be the worse version of young to 2011 Djokovic. Does many things worse movement mainly. But he is just 22. They are different but somehow i find similiarties between them maybe due to backhand, sliding and returns. Should say he has Power and potential better serve on his side

Federer bloomed at the exact same age, the season he turned 23.

Right yannick sinner had 4 QF and 1 SF by the season he turned 22, while Federer had 2 QF and one title. Federer made his huge jump in the season he turned 23, same as yannick now

Federer had better serve, Sinner had better returns and backhand
Forehand equally effective
