2024 US Open 2R: [1] Jannik Sinner (ITA) vs [14] Tommy Paul (USA)

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner heavy groundstrokes makes it impossible to stay at baseline or even move to net for Paul. That's how he competes vs raz but sinner is too good.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Sinner coming back very fast. I thought it would be 6-1 Paul

Paul is helping the cause as well.

 

[caprivi]

Sinner giving TP the full western treatment.

 

[NeutralFan]

Damn those missile FH from Sinner, Carlos should learn how to play percentage and agressive tennis at the same time from Sinner ( on HC)

 

[Racquet_smash]

Paul was never sustaining that level Sinner stopped crapping around

 

[timmyy]

Juice playing like he did a little skin spray at changeover at 4-1.

Idk paul made some silly UEs there as well.

 

[tennisjedi]

And business is back to normal. 4-4.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Paul is helping the cause as well.

I don't think so. Is there a bunch of double faults or something ? Most can't handle sinners game in 2024.

 

[NeutralFan]

Lol at those clowns who doubted Sinner and thought Paul would have any chances

 

[Technology Ruined Tennis]

'20 AO Fed making the '24 US 4th round is quite the achievement.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Lol at the number 1 going down to breaks two start this 4R.

Fought back but YIKES.

Med gonna eat him up.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Some insanely long rallies already.

Paul just won what has to have been a 25+ shot rally there. (popup just said it was 24 shots!)

Med will be eating this up.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Lol at those clowns who doubted Sinner and thought Paul would have any chances

It's 5-4 on serve in the first set

 

[NeutralFan]

Sampras Bruguera is not wrong when he says Sinner will clean sweep majority of HC slams, hard to argue against that. Sadly Alcaraz will play second fiddle to him

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Will this mug be broken 3 times in a row?

 

[nolefam_2024]

Paul hanging on but sinner is now looking like a machine

 

[Zetty]

Nice rally Tommy, BOOM ace...dam that's demoralizing.

 

[NeutralFan]

It's 4-4 in the first set

From 1-4 , Sinner slammed the door in no time

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Sampras Bruguera is not wrong when he says Sinner will clean sweep majority of HC slams, hard to argue against that. Sadly Alcaraz will play second fiddle to him

Dude let’s wait before you claim that. Alcaraz has more GSs than this guy at the moment.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

It's 4-4 in the first set

No point even responding to that poster, just constantly bullying and attacking Alcaraz and overhyping Sinner.

As you said, it's early days in set 1 and the #1 raced to a two break down lead. Hardly dominant.

It's 5-4 in the first set of a 4th round match

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Yep, even if Sinner wins the slam here (going down 2 breaks quickly isn't exactly promising in the 4R but), he'll still have half the slams of Alcaraz despite being 2 years older.

Sinner needs some steroid cream to catch up!

 

[NYTennisfan]

From 1-4 , Sinner slammed the door in no time

What door slamming? It's 5-4 in the first set on serve lol. Tennis matches tend to have back and forths sometimes.

 

[RSJfan]

He worked on his movement and improved by leaps and bounds in last one year

He’s only 23. He’s going to keep improving, rapidly. He still looks kinda frail to me. He can get stronger.

 

[NYTennisfan]

It's too bad because I actually like Sinner but I feel like I have to root against him for the sake of the sanity of TTW.

 

[bw114]

This is just attack on someone's accomplishment because they started late. This member their self knows they are lying and are able to see the game. But don't want to accept.

I see his game. I think he is immensely talented and is the best ball striker on tour. I have said this before and I do not criticize his game.

However, there are people on here who constantly tell me how he’s already better than Alcaraz, will win every HC slam for the next 15 years, and I don’t know what they are seeing. He hasn’t shown the ability to consistently (that being the key word) dominate. I understand why people think he’s very good right now, but Alcaraz has shown brilliance that intimates he will be an all-time great—the comebacks at Wimbledon, the Wimby defense, two comebacks from 2-1 down in RG. I haven’t seen that out of sinner and while his game his beautiful and very good, I don’t know why people think he’s going to keep this level for 15 years when he can’t even keep it for a full season

 

[RSJfan]

Where is my fav Dr. Raul. I need his (ridiculous) take on this match.

 

[NeutralFan]

Dude let’s wait before you claim that. Alcaraz has more GSs than this guy at the moment.

Yes but let's not forget there are two slams on HC and Sinner has vastly improved, his game is more productive on HC, tailor made like Djokovic with more aggression. Did you see how helpless Carlos looked on HC for more than a year?? On grass he gets away with his game but on HC his lack of point construction and shot selection gets more pronounced. Now he had a genius idea of standing near stand to return the serve.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

This is some flashy stuff by Paul, if he can cut out the errors (like that awful shank), we have a real match.

Game point.

Then he hits a bad unforced error, back to deuce.

 

[nolefam_2024]

It feels sinners backhand has more power than pauls fh

Too good

What do you mean he can't keep it for a full season? Have you checked his stats this year? Highest winning percentage on tour. A bit inconsistent on clay but that will always be the case.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Clown tennis by Paul.

Yes there are some 2 cent trolls sinner army. I have put them on ingore. They don't believe half of what they type.

 

[KingCarlitos]

Sinner bringing back the heat I see.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

This game is just all about Paul.

Tommy is either hit stunning winners or terrible unforced errors. Sinner really having no say.

Deuce yet again.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Sinner is a brutal ball striker. Maan

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner is a brutal ball striker. Maan

This is the tennis you are going to see for next 12 years. Brutal baseline assault.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Great hold by Tommy Paul who saves set point and holds for 5-5.

Some big serves to close that hold out. Needs to cut out the unforced errors.

 

[SteffiGoat]

Plenty of errors but Paul gets the hold.

 

[Nate7-5]

Up a double break to barely hanging on

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Dude finally held. Lol

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Sinner is a brutal ball striker. Maan

You gotta change the pace on him. Work him side to side. More slices.

 

[NeutralFan]

Sinner is a brutal ball striker. Maan

That BH DTL was a beauty

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Fantastic reply by Sinner to quickly hold to love there for 6-5. Some massive serves!

Pressure right back on Tommy.

 

[NYTennisfan]

You gotta change the pace on him. Work him side to side. More slices.

Yep, that's when guys trouble him when they use variety. Paul is trying to get into a baseline war with Sinner and that's not going to work, similar to Djokovic.

 

[timmyy]

He worked on his movement and improved by leaps and bounds in last one year

And we all know why...

 

[LOBALOT]

Doper is hitting some big shots. The stuff seems to have helped his game a lot.

 

[bullfan]

Yep, that's when guys trouble him when they use variety. Paul is trying to get into a baseline war with Sinner and that's not going to work, similar to Djokovic.

Tommy Paul said if he got into a baseline war, he’d definitely lose.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Tommy Paul said if he got into a baseline war, he’d definitely lose.

With sinner he would go into baseline war. Sinner won't allow him to close the distance to net often just like Djokovic.
