AO 2024 QF - (3.) Jannik Sinner vs (5.) Andrey Rublev

[veelium]

The Sinner v Djokovic match up in SF is what most fans have been looking forward to since tournament began.

I suspect It will either prove to be disappointing or an epic that may be talked about for ages.

Only two outcomes allowed on the forum anyway.

Thank you for saying this… why I hate ppl calling these guys mugs etc. Arm chair jerks cussing professional players mostly coz they can’t stop their fave’s rival. Criticize the players game but have some respect. Rublev is going to go a week without peace after having blown another semi chance. He is trying the other guys are just better.

the mugs talk is compared to players from 1969-2015 - i.e before inflation/asterisk eras in open era. This is dark times for tennis compared to previously.

A quick edit of the match's key sequence, starting from 5-1 Rublev in the second set tiebreaker.

He won't win a set vs Novak. He will choke on all the big points. You know this.
Also Novak has never lost after SF in AO. So in a way he has already won slam #25.

That means little.. by your logic the French 21 sf should not even be played as Nadal had never lost in that stage
