Someone called Sinner "chicken legs" in another thread. At first I thought, 'no, that's Berrettini." But then I saw Eubanks!Eubaks legs

Eubanks really let it slip here after being up 3-2. Suddenly couldn't buy a serve and started pressing.

Yes, and Meds legs look thick compared to Eubanks.

I agree. But the announcers have been overselling him. Mannarino has beaten Medvedev twice.

Manarino has variety that bothers Med. No pace to feed off

I think the coronation already happened with this Masters 1000 QF (by far his best tournament performance) and entry into the Top 100 (85 ish) after all these years and no qualifying for the next handful of slams. I think most of us are happy for him and hopefully he can have a career phase that will be higher than previously with less qualifying and less challengers. I think he can do that, but I'm not sure he's bound for the Top 20 or even the Top 50 - i.e., that there will be an even bigger coronation.
I was about to say that he was holding on okay in the second after losing the first, as it looked like it was about to go 3-3, but he got broken for 2-4.
Edit: He just broke for 3-4, on serve.

Eubanks ain't done yet, break back for 3-4.
I like how he's not afraid to show some lighter emotions on mistakes, like that DTL FH UE at 0/30 which could've made it 0/40 at 2-4, yet seems to let it go and retain composure. Doesn't let emotions spiral out of control, good balancing act. Especially when he's completely up against it against a current top 3 player in the world like Meddy.
Can he stay in it at 4-5 tho...

Ha, exactly. Should have just said that.

Eubanks was great saving the first two match points. Too bad about the third. He had position to put it away, but he didn't take it out of the air and then seemingly ran up too close to the ball and had an awkward swing. Nevertheless, some good grit after going down 2-4 in the second and surviving a couple games to stay in the set.

First time setting eyes on Eubanks.
What lab is used to create these players?
I mean it looks like he's wearing stilts for legs.
Come on, is this natural?
Maybe he missed the basketball bus?
He makes Med look like a dwarf!

I see Alcaraz and Sinner having achieved all of those by Medvedev’s age and I mean wins, not finals. And I’m sure they’ll both win an Olympic medal

I think he will do it, but if he faces Alcaraz again in the final, it won't be pretty.

Winner of Khachanov-Cerundolo the Elder. I think he's got a solid 67% chance at least.

Yup if he faces Alcaraz he’s losing for sure , but I also see Sinner beating him on an outdoor hard also. Sinner has improved a lot and is hitting massively. By early 2024, he should be able to beat Medvedev on every surface

Yes, I would say so also. Having watched Alcaraz, nothing Med has on him here in Miami. He will be hammered again. With Sinner being 0-5 though, he does bring in mental baggage.

How do you know for sure? Players evolve and their teams analyse every match. I’m sure Meddy’s coach will work out a strategy against Alcaraz for Meddy.

Yeah, that was really an unfortunate error for Eubanks on the last match point. And did anyone notice Medvedev's reaction to it? Or lack thereof? It's almost as if some players can understand the moment (Med realizing this was the biggest moment of Eubank's career, and the just ended it on a point he absolutely should have won). No celebration necessary, appropriate, or needed. Half of the ATP and 90% of the WTA should take notes...

Not Santana.Sorry man, maybe you're thinking of Santana. Santoro is 100% Italian.
Santoro - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Yes, it's Italian
I was thinking of some people I heard of that are Mexican, Brazilian or Portuguese.
- The famous Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro. He's been in prominent US movies & TV shows too.
- German Scheufler Santoro. ... born in Mexico from a Brazilian mother and a Mexican father.
- Rui Santoro - a DJ from Portugal and App creator.
The people above had descendants who were born in Portugal in the 1800s, likely earlier. Italians migrated to France, Portugal and other places in the 15th century.

Yeah he comes in 0-5 but they’ve never played outdoors. As I say Medvedev won’t improve any further and Sinner should surpass him in the next year or so. But I do think it’s time for him to win a masters

I don't think he wins, he looks a clear level below Alcaraz to me this Sunshine Double and he's still playing from too far behind the baseline. If Carlos plays his best, IMO Med isn't winning.

True, we will see, but Medvedev isn't exactly chopped liver outdoors either.
But, yes, it is time for Sinner to wins a masters, no question.

Anyone taking Sinner to beat Alcaraz in the semis? The short break and Sinner’s form makes me want to bet on him. I wonder if there will be good odds on Sinner.

Indeed, like all common Italian (and especially Southern Italian) last names, it is now present throughout the Americas, Western Europe and Australia due to the massive migration fluxes of the 19th and 20th century. But as you can see from this map, its incidence remains tens or even hundreds times higher in Italy than anywhere else in the world. Unsurprisingly, the only country that is even vaguely close is Argentina, the only country (other than Italy itself) where the majority of the population has Italian ancestry.

LOL... now or never? With the Spanish "natural" playing like this???
Think we'll have to wait for a Ratz injury or some cyclical down phase.
