Sinner needs to put his foot on the gas pedal in the finals. No slugfest in the round Robin. Only in the finals

i really think he has a slam in him.... he just have to believe and keep getting better. Keep improving and wait til novak retires and make sure he doesn't play Alcarez in the slam . and get a real i mean Real good coach.
You said it. I watched the match a single break in each set - not a whitewash. ST played beautifully at times, but was largely outmanoeuvred by JS, who seemed to read his opponent's game like an open book.
What I found particularly admirable is JS' contained strategy. Doing enough, but nothing more and conserving energy, as though aware that he could raise the ante if needed. Very shrewd.
Displaying a superb, attacking yet controlled game, JS will be a formidable opponent for any of his rivals.

he almost beat Novak in the french open,,,, even with that backhand

His backhand was good in 2021. Post elbow surgery, his backhand is garbage

He made 2 finals only to lose the goat, lost his way a bit since. I believe he has the talent, some fixes needed hopefully he can get a good coach and push ahead. He played well at Bercy needs to build on it.

He has only 10 titles to his career, at age 25. Murray had to win 20+ career atp titles, at age 25 before he won his first slam. Not a good outlook for Tsitsipas

Ready to see Daniil lose to him a third time in a row?

The Philosopher should have given his place to HH then, but it seems that the Greek does not know the meaning of Ethics.
It is a shame that Tsitsipas's actions are a sign of our times.

Jannik will put an end to the biggest sinner in the history of tennis once and for all.

You get 325k just for participating in the groups. 400k per match win. Unless you have been in such a position, I wouldn't questions someones ethics for trying to play. It's his spot wich he earned.

Money can buy many material things but not the awareness of the good actions of an individual aware of his/her limitations.

Ain't defending any points by getting smoked left and right. He is raking in some cash though - but if he does indeed withdraw before the next one, he deserves every insult that's coming his way.

The 200 pts for each RR win are much more important to the players than the money. 400k is peanuts to these guys.

H2H is misleading in general anyway. You can be behind and still dominate a player for a decade.
Lol? Not even for Djokovic. Getting 400k for one day on a court is special.

Exactly my thoughts, this seems like the most fun ATP finals in a while!

I want Sinner to win the whole thing, reason being is the hope new blood wins big title which pushes them to win slams in 2024.
I respect Djokovic and all of his accomplishments but sometimes it does tennis good to see fresh meat.

This match timing is utter sheeit.
Should be dubs, dubs, singles, singles or my favorite dingles.
6 hours in between? Wtf?
Let’s face it …only family members of dubs players care about dubs. Blood related only.

Well Stefan served quite well, more so with his second and his forehand was at times very impressive, however Jannik continues his impressive serving streak and executed his game plan against the backhand well.

Zverev won the ATP Finals twice!
Dimitrov won it, and so did Sissy.
When you consider how impossible it is for those guys to win a slam title....
Very hard to attach any kind of prestige to this thing.
