Novak isn't dead. In long term Nole is done but for next 8 slams he is right there with sinner.

Medvedev is right there with sinner.

No more backing down.

Nah, he's not my style. I'll always be happy if he beats Novak though lol. I need a game with more flair and less fistpumps.

It will be an uphill battle for Carlitos. The matchup may have changed quite a bit in Sinner’s favour since the AO. A mixture of Sinner’s increased belief and serve dominance. Sinner is now a monster who is threatening to take over the whole tour.

Carlitos will be working on something though. Carlitos and Sinner look they have that Big 4 tendency to desire constant improvement. Carlitos has stagnated slightly lately but he will be trying to find more value to extract from his game. 2 biggest things for me with Carlitos is he simply must strengthen his DTL backhand so he is less reliant on CCBH and also working on his shot selection and focus in matches.

Whether that is enough to bring down Sinner is unknown at this stage, but we’ve just finished a tournament with the 128 best players on the planet and barely anyone was able to even get a set against Sinner.

Im the same as @MichaelNadal on this one.

Not all fist pumping players are created equal and some players it makes sense and others it can be slightly annoying.

The best example for me of non-epic fist pumping is Kevin Anderson, particularly for that period in 2017 where after almost every big point he ran around like a rabbit for 20 seconds screaming and pumping his fists. It was too much for me, but it’s personal preference.

As long as no one is banned I wouldn't make excuses if sinner wins CYGS. We have Nole who did ncygs anyway. And it was damn hard. Many times he failed.

I don't buy it that Sinner will do CYGS now or in future. But if he does then more power to him.

2 , Carlos fans said Carlos owned Med based on a small sample size on HC matches and looked what happened at USO. It's a match up thing and Sinner got the edge even in grass and clay.

1 match on grass and one match on clay right? lol no further questions

So Carlos has losing H2H on hc vs Nole, Zverev (more than 1 match) and that's all. Not bad for the young one.

2 of zverevs wins were when carlos was playing challengers, sinner hasnt proven yet that he is a better grass or clay courter than alcaraz, he may have a match up edge but he has to pass everyone else, something that carlos has already proved that he can do, anyway its pointless discussing this, sinner at 20 wasnt half of what alcaraz is, or zverev or even djokovic for that matter, give him some time and then we can judge better, for sure he has shown he has a far more complete game than those guys specially year for year, im not worried about him

Its pointless discussing this with some people, i honestly dont wanna change peoples minds, but its really surprising how much data they manage yet they still find a way to say Alcaraz is sh*t xD its like theyre trying to convince themselves or something

If Sinner improves his serve, he will be very difficult to beat at both Wimbledon and the US Open.
On clay I don't give him much of a chance, at least this season.

Who can stop Sinner at slams? Well, Let's see now:

Djokovic, Alcaraz, Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Rublev, Fritz, Rune, Paul, Eubanks, Draper, Stricker. Y'know, basically anyone in the top 100 because Sinner's AO form wasn't that good and he won 1 slam. He's not going to suddenly start dominating everywhere lol

Only Djokovic has some chances and he's also getting owned by him lately and is finally showing father time. Rublev?lol

Question like this seems to imply Sinner is now in almost invincible state but not so fast... When Thiem won his first grand slam who would have thought that was his last one? Who'd have imagined Alcaraz's (in OP's words) "free downfall" a year ago? What makes you sure Sinner is not one-slam wonder (not that he's gonna be)?

In slam HC matches they're tied 1-1 , in overall slam matches I think Z leads 2-1. Z has a match up advantage against him.

All will be fixed very soon. Sinner was what? 6-28 against Zed, Med, Novak and co until recently?

It will all be fixed in due time.

It might be but not when Z is in zone Alcaraz looks helpless and has problem hitting through. Recently I have noticed one thing. It's not just z but anyone who can rally and defend off both wings is troubling Carlos and his point construction comes in question. Medvedev ( us open, Z AO) he needs to fire Ferrero and hire Marian Vajda.

Prime Z at his den at Madrid looked like a school boy against an 18 yo Raz too, conversely when Raz was in the zone.

That rushing thing is a strategy against most players including Sinner as we saw with Djokovic at the WTF and with Med when he still has the legs and the energy for it.

Sinner was 6-28 or something against all these players including a negative H2H against Tsitsipas (and Med and Z despite the wins against Med). He has fixed it and Carlos with fewer H2H issues than Sinner at the same age will fix it when the time comes.

You're just hoping it will change but even Carlos is clueless. He tried SNV against Med at USO and got destroyed, he couldn't hit through him. It's high time we admit his point construction is suspect. Another thing that he needs to work on is increasing percentage shots , especially on bps, and trigger only when it's safe.
