Credit to Sinner for holding here, great points
Shirley, you can't be serious.I've got nothing against Alcaraz but I find his "aggressive play" overrated. He seems like another grinder to me.
Comparing any new player and calling him equal to Nadal is an INSULT to the great champion and 22 slam winner.A lot people got carried away thinking Alcatraz is the new Nadal. He certainly isn’t while he’s still very good.
It's early days but you may be looking a little like this in an hour or two. @TennisFan3 @dapchai @ibbi![]()
I’m not watching any tennis sadly, had to leave for the beach a bit earlier today. Is Alcaraz just playing **** or is this a masterclass from Sinner?
Alcaraz is doing a lot of the work for him but I didn't know Sinner could play at this level. I really didn't have a particularly high opinion of the guy up to this point. If he can take care of business here and then put in a decent showing in a potential QF against Djokovic I might have to reevaluate a bit.Sinner is doing nothing special. He’s just more steady.
Just stop with the predictions of Novak/Nadal losing. They are always the favorite unless proven otherwise.Sinner peaking.. will knock out Novak and bend to nadal in the final..
Who was the last 19 years old to even make a Wimbledon semi, lol?
Neither Sampras, nor Big 3 or Murray, Hewitt, Roddick did for instance.

I guess Becker.Who was the last 19 years old to even make a Wimbledon semi, lol?

Please help me understand, why you think Alcaraz was a danger to Novak? What has he EVER shown that makes you believe he will beat Novak at slam level?Embarrassing stuff from Alcaraz. Congrats to Djokovic because Sinner is a mental midget under pressure with no weapons against Djokovic
OkI don't want to hear a word about Djokovic's "tough" draw. Somehow he has it even easier than last year.
Yeah, he is going to win 10-12 Wimbledon titles at least. He just has to show up.

Honestly, he just has to show up. This is without doubt the worst and most predictable slam now. And to think some used to cry about clay competition being weak.Djokovic will win 10 wimbledons with this field.ً This generation will never stop disappointing. When you think a potential ATG is around the corner, they drop a mental midget performance
A potential ATG has the "EARN" the title. Alcaraz has done NOTHING at slam level. GREATNESS does NOT come cheap.Djokovic will win 10 wimbledons with this field.ً This generation will never stop disappointing. When you think a potential ATG is around the corner, they drop a mental midget performance
Sinner peaking.. will knock out Novak and bend to nadal in the final..
Can't blame them considering that these 2 win 90% of the slams.2 of the best young players in the world are playing a match on Centre Court at Wimbledon and people just can’t help but talk about Novak or Nadal. SMH.
Is... Sinner not also a prospect from the same generation?Djokovic will win 10 wimbledons with this field.ً This generation will never stop disappointing. When you think a potential ATG is around the corner, they drop a mental midget performance
Yes. And to add to my list neither Borg, Mac, Connors, Edberg, Goran, Stich did.I guess Becker.
ESPN3 or ESPN+. Both are showing this.Where are you guys watching the match? All the channels in the US are showing the dumb Tommy Paul match![]()

You have to have faith in your man then. I thought Nadal will likely be Djokovic toughest test if the final happens. Still a way to go thoughDjokovic will win 10 wimbledons with this field.ً This generation will never stop disappointing.

Mac did reach a semi at 18.Yes. And to add to my list neither Borg, Mac, Connors, Edberg, Goran, Stich did.
Pat Cash did in 1984, but I will have to check to even find anyone else. And we are talking best grass players of all times here.
We all know that this match is played for the right to get blown by Djokovic in straight sets in the next round. So not surprising people aren't excited about it.Yea. Looking ahead to a potential QF, putting Nadal in rhe final, handing Djokovic the title when he's in the 4th round, etc. Can we just watch and comment on this match?
Alcaraz has all the tools except it seems shot tolerance/I was basing my point on mentality and confidence at 19.Please help me understand, why you think Alcaraz was a danger to Novak? What has he EVER shown that makes you believe he will beat Novak at slam level?
Is it the 3 set victory at Madrid?
Because Sonego, RBA, Kachanov etc etc also beat Novak in BO3. Will they beat him in slams?
I'm genuinely curious, because I like your posts.
Carlos also seems strangely subdued, as if he has resigned himself to be beaten by Sinner.
