why do you say that Sinner is injured?
Rublev clearly has the better serve. I'd say the forehand is a tie.No but in all seriousness name something Rublev does better than Sinner:
Forehand Sinner
Backhand Sinner
Slice Sinner
Touch Sinner
Volley Sinner
Serve Sinner
Return Sinner
Untraumatized by 0-9 GS QF matches Sinner
Rublev's game plan is hit hard and if that doesnt work hit harder
unfortunately Sinner can hit both harder and more accurately than rublev
Sinner in 3 unless it's like 35+ degrees out
Yea, make one lone Slam SF for his career before he calls it quits. He could potentially be better but mentally he lets himself down in taking the next step.Maybe he Will figure himself out by the time he is 36
Sorry but if you struggle against Rublev - it's game over against Djokovic. He better win this in straightsSinner is winning in straight and ttw is crying over his level, as i said nobody can stop Sinner, he's in his prime playing peak tennis.
he rubbed his belly twicewhy do you say that Sinner is injured?
In this type of match, he should be able to go toe to toe with Sinner in these type of slower conditions. I watched some of his match with De Minaur and he was really good, and better than what he's shown here.I think more than mentally , his game is so limited. Flat strokes, bad movement and he doesn't have great serve as well. No variety.
so Djokovic struggled against fritz, by that logicSorry but if you struggle against Rublev - it's game over against Djokovic. He better win this in straights
When did this NEW rule come in tennis?Sorry but if you struggle against Rublev - it's game over against Djokovic. He better win this in straights
Inform players don't play two 5 setters in 4 rounds ...At this point, Rublev may never make a Slam SF. He's in form this tournament and you cannot let a 5-1 tiebreak lead slip when you're a set down. Mentally, he's just not tough enough in the pressure moments in Slams.
Djokovic/Fritz was really high quality although I had to go to bed in the 2nd set. I expected this to be a better quality than this tbh.Sorry but if you struggle against Rublev - it's game over against Djokovic. He better win this in straights
That's what people said 2/3 years back before pandemic. He is just a one dimensional player.Rublev needs to add something more to his game if he is to sometime make it past QF it should be obvious to him by now.
are you sure you weren't expecting less from rublev?I expected more from sinner honestly
He was 8-0 to start to the year and straight setted Ruusuvuori in the final of HK Open, who pushed Medvedev to 5 here. He went 5 with Seyboth Wild, who is not exactly a pushover, and De Minaur, a top 10 player.Inform players don't play two 5 setters in 4 rounds ...
Honestly not much less, maybe its a match Up thing, but not impressed with sinnerare you sure you weren't expecting less from rublev
Rublev should be given bakery products if the level is anywhere close to troubling DjokovicSinner is winning in straight and ttw is crying over his level, as i said nobody can stop Sinner, he's in his prime playing peak tennis.
Fritz was playing quite good and Rublev has been playing like Rublev. I feel Djokovic with his level shown so far in last few rounds - should be enough - if this is the level Sinner comes up with.When did this NEW rule come in tennis?
Yes but it's obvious he will have to or he will be stuck forever at this stage. Literally just after I wrote that Jonas Björkman commentating on Swedish Eurosport said the same thing, like he should work on defensive and offensive slice and more of a touch game but maybe it's just not gonna happen with Rublev as he is one dimensional as you say.That's what people said 2/3 years back before pandemic. He is just a one dimensional player.
What sinner is showing today is good enough for a quality match. Will it be enough vs Nole? Time will tell. Nole played horrendous in the daytime.Fritz was playing quite good and Rublev has been playing like Rublev. I feel Djokovic with his level shown so far in last few rounds - should be enough - if this is the level Sinner comes up with.
On the run - Sinner has been committing mistakes. It’s going to be tough to beat Djokovic if he is in his zone with cracks in your armour
Well idk, I was expecting at least a set for RublevHonestly not much less, maybe its a match Up thing, but not impressed with sinner
He’s taking this in straights…hasn’t lost a set! I was saying he should get to week 2 w/o dropping a set…
LolHe can beat Djokovic in this form. I am not going to jinx or bed wet anymore. He can do it!
He had It with that 5-1, anyway this 3rd set is more one sidedWell idk, I was expecting at least a set for Rublev
If he reached final beating Zverev and MedvedevThe 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. While i am rooting for Novak my main hope is that for their sakes they don't knock 7 bells out of one another in a 4-5 hour 5 set marathon and allow Carlos to take advantage of their mental and physical fatigue in final.
Carlos has lucked out so far at this tournament the way things have fallen so if he is going to win it i want to see him earn it with a couple of hard fought matches
