I would like to see Sinner win a masters event to end the year. So I don’t want him to play this event.
One extra motivator: If he withdraws from this event, he mathematically can't finish the year number one. He's at 8,500 points for the year right now. Wins in Paris and Turin would put him at 11,000. Problem is, Alcaraz already has 11,040 points. So Sinner needs at least 40 more points from Vienna to have any kind of shot. It probably won't happen anyway, but it's his only chance. A withdrawal here would be forfeiting the ranking until February, pretty much. (Don't know if that's an enormous concern, but it probably plays a role in his decision making.)

Honestly don’t really care about the number 1 ranking for him. It’s more big titles and slams I care about. He has floundered at the masters events this year, it’s disappointing
 
Anyone seen these jellyfish hunters in Vienna this week?
Do those safety nets really make a difference?
I find it really funny though for obvious reasons..

The racquet ball catcher is very efficient. So easy to catch the ball, makes it quicker for the ball boys to do their job.

This event has been around for more than 30 years.
Tradition is very important in Vienna.
Back then, it was still called the Fischer Grand Prix.
 
Medvedev is such a funny player to watch, everytime he goes to the net he looks at the coaches as he is seeking confirmation he did okay, despite winning the point
 
Medvedev with the matchpoint.

Only caught the last few games but this been very entertaining.


Ohh and Borges erases that by going bonkers on that 2nd serve
 
Certainly felt like Medvedev went a bit soft on the aggression in the breaker. But he did not play that bad aside from that double. Borges took it
 
4.6 DR from Sinner lol

I was wondering how the line was set at -5.5 game spread at -165 for Sinner. maybe they were thinking he would take it easy and when something like 63 64 with two breaks if he served first, but Altmaier was fortunate to even win two ganes.
 
Norrie is winning the net battle. Berrettini should think twice about doing dropshots next time. Norrie with a break, 3-1.
