Fox vs Tomcat !
I told you before when the draw came out Sinner would not drop any sets before meeting Nole. I predict he blows the Russian off the court in three.
I’m not as confident after seeing that pathetic display vs a complete mug like Khachanov last night.
Yeah he needs to serve buckets before that semifinal. Awful serving. Then again if the roof is closed, Novak is in big trouble
Stamina
Rublev easily has a better serve than Sinner.
Sinner has the better serve. Look on the leaderboard stats for serve in the last 12 months
Service games won takes ground game into consideration. I think the better measure would be aces and unreturnables. I'm not sure what the answer is or who the stats favour.
But in terms of effectiveness and who’s likely to hold serve more, it’s definitely Sinner. Sinner has only been broken twice in this tournament
Service games won means nothing.
That's mostly due to the fact that his backhand is top 3 in the world and his forehand is really good as well. There’s no doubt he's got a great baseline game from both sides.
Service games won refers to the ability of the player to hold serve. In other words, who is likely to hold better and less likely to be broken. Sinners serve is less likely to be broken than Rublevs
Because of his ground game and movement more than anything. I think Sinner’s serve is good indoors but on a HC there’s no doubt Rublev has a better serve, as in just the serve alone.
But service games won takes into consideration both first and second serves and Sinner leads Rublev in that category. He’s a better server. Stefanos Tsitsipas and Hubert Hurkacz lead that category at 1st and 2nd
Already a statement reaching semis losing only 1 set of that happens.
I can tell you its definitely not HH's ground game. HH has a bomb of a serve. That's why his hold percentage is so high. Your initial breakdown of the players was analyzing stroke by stroke so when you do that people assume you mean just the actual serve stroke, not the entirety of the service game. Sinner's strength is his ground game. His serve stroke is not on the level of a Kyrgios, Isner, HH etc.
I predict Sinner will make 2 semis and 2 finals
Thats true, if sinner hit his own head with his racquet as hard as rublev did he would pass out, only russians can do that
Very true.
I dont know how that will turn up, but one thing is for sure, you are not gonna beat Djokovic in 5 sets blasting rockets from the baseline, as he can do against most players, he gonna have to play all court and choose very well when to go to the net, as well as serving good in important points, that we have to have in mind
May your wishes come true
ATP H2H: 4-2 for Sinner
HC H2H: 2-1 for Sinner
GS H2H: 1-0 for Sinner
One of them will be playing at the AO in SF for the first time, and for Rublev, victory would also bring him the first promotion into the Grand Slam SF. It will be a duel between two players with a great punch, who will be more successful?
Its gonna be so one sided that Andrey is not even gonna get frustrated
