This match is undoubtedly one of the greatest matches I've ever witnessed ! Despite the fact that it was the longest RG final ever at 5 hours and 29 minutes many points were decided in the range of 4-8 shots ...they produced 123 winners ! For comparison the classic '12 AO final between nadal...

Using natural gut crosses for some, but not all, of the match?

Zverev’s 2nd Slam or Sinner’s 5th Slam? WILL THE DREAM COME TRUE?

I literally can't think of anyone beyond Novak and even he will be dead tired by the team he actually meets Sinner

Jannik Sinner beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 in the Rome final, 2026 on clay With the win, Sinner completed career Golden Masters (winning all the Masters events once). It was his 6th masters title in a row, following Madrid, Monte Carlo, Miami, Indian Wells and Paris from previous season. Ruud was...

...all the masters titles in one year?? 5 down, 4 to go. Could he do it? Is it a more difficult accomplishment than CYGS? For me, they're about equal, but the fact no one has ever done this one tells us something. Discuss.

Not going to lie, I did not appreciate that my boy Ruud had to settle for second place for the umpteenth time... :X3: But still what an accomplishment for Sinner, especially this early in his career. And a nice coincidence that he completed the set in his country of all places. The number 1...

Jannik Sinner beat Alex Zverev 6-1, 6-2 in the Madrid final, 2026 on clay It was Sinner’s first title at the event and his 5th straight Masters title. Zverev had previously won the title in 2019 and 2021 Sinner won 51 points, Zverev 23 Serve Stats Sinner... - 1st serve percentage (29/39) 74%...

This is sorta like a reboot or second iteration of a classic movie , Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal dominated the tour exactly like Alcaraz and Sinner are doing it right now. Alcaraz and Sinner are different to Roger and Rafa even in their dominance and rivalry dynamic, but as a duo they're...

Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(5), 6-3 in the Monte Carlo final, 2026 on clay It was Sinner’s first masters title on clay. He’d recently won Indian Wells and Miami. Alcaraz was the defending champion and had won Australian Open at start of the year. The #1 ranking was on the line in the...

Sinner has dominated this category for years, but Gill Gross noticed that Big Ben has taken the first spot in this category - likely largely with his vicious kick serve + heavy left forehand combo.* As the 2nd% is a good proxy for offensive quality minus a big first serve, it highlighted Sinner...

A quick look at how they performed in their best/last full season at the CH level. Carlos was obviously the youngest and played only clay. Rafael had the highest hard court share, Jannik was close behind and Joao sprinkled some grass in it. Tennis age and maturity rate can differ widely, so even...

Novak Djokovic beat Jannik Sinner 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the Australian Open semi-final, 2026 on hard court Djokovic would go onto lose the final to Carlos Alcaraz in his record extending 11th final at the event. Sinner was the double defending champion Djokovic won 140 points, Sinner 152...

Jannik Sinner beat Daniil Medvedev 7-6(6), 7-6(4) in the Indian Wells final, 2026 on hard court It was Sinner’s first title at the event and with the result, he completed full set of big hard court titles. Medvedev was playing his third final at the event, and has yet to win the title Sinner...

Just as Jannik Sinner remains reluctant to trade in his beloved Head Speed 2022 (paintjob), the Spanish prodigy Rafa Jódar continues to play with the 2024 paintjob. I don't recall any player currently playing with the new Head Speed, unlike the Babolat Pure Aero 2026, or the new Yonex VCore...

Who will win Indian Wells this year?

Great tribute video of several peaks in games we’ve seen in the “modern era” (more like late OE - XXIth cent) basically focusing on Big 3, Sincaraz and contemporaries. It takes both, beatings and tight matches accompanied by some basic stats. There’s some missing because it’s quite short, just...

So I’ve been thinking about this since the AO Semi Sinner’s results over the last year or so have obviously been excellent — no one is disputing that. But when I actually sit down and watch his matches, I’m not sure I see dominance in the traditional sense. What I see, more than anything, is...

Whos excited for an eventual clash between Carlos and Sinner ? 9 of the Top 20 will be there , are you keeping an eye on someone else there ? Marca Article : Carlos Alcaraz, after his stop in Bahrain where he attended Formula One team training sessions, is heading this Saturday to Qatar, his...

Hey everyone - quick question for tennis fans I’m working with a few pro tennis players on a new way for fans to engage with their favourite athletes (beyond just following on social). Before we go further, I’m running a short anonymous survey to get honest fan input. If you have 2–3 minutes...

Sinner has won an absurd 93.3% on hard courts since the start of 2024 and Alcaraz has won 83.1% on hard in the same time frame, but in that time, Alcaraz is 3-1 against Sinner on hard, 4-1 if you count the retirement at Cincinnati. Is Alcaraz just a poor matchup for Sinner similar to how Nadal...

As we already know, Alcaraz and Sinner have very different records in five setters but I’m seeing many posters and analysts dismiss by claiming that Sinner doesn’t let himself dragged that often into five-setters and when he is, he is usually in trouble so that’s why he has a worse record than...

What gave him the edge?

Watch from the timestamp here, this journalist (definitely unintentionally) ended up throwing an insult at Novak by saying that he was 'chasing' Carlos & Sinner. Up until that question, Djokovic's level was nothing special at this year's AO, struggled against BVDZ, was 0-2 down against Musetti...

Obviously a lot can happen still and both face great opponent but the odds are in favor of a Djokovic-Sinner match in the semifinals. Jannik has dominated the recent H2H in rare fashion and might prove once again a semifinal mountain to big to climb. Last year the only difficult match for the...

Novak has obviously been the most consistent of the Big3 across the three surfaces, winning 54.2% of total points over his long career on the 'weakest' surface clay. 54.3% on grass and 54.7% on HC complete the mix. Federer achieved 53.5% on it, while getting 54.3% on HC and 54.6% on grass...

I often find it useful to look from time to time at simple stats to confront the eye tests, memories and many biases of this forum - including mine. Needless to say that Stan and Domi have been pushing their percentages a lot lower in recent years, so I went a couple of years back in time...

Asked something similar in my top 10 questions, but thought I would highlight this question specifically. In 2025, Jannik Sinner reached the final of all four majors. Can he go two wins further and bag all 4?

This is just a rough, relative overview on how much they were winning over what rally length, courtesy of Tennis Abstract. Sample sizes and quality differs a bit, with Nadal having surprisingly few fully charted matches, which might work against him. See the low absolute number of points...

Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(4), 7-5 in the Year End Championship final, 2025 on indoor hard court in Turin, Italy Sinner was the defending champion and won the event without losing a match. Both players came through their round robin groups with 3-0 record. Earlier, by reaching the...
