Thankfully Sinner is also one of the best returners….

He’s an incredible returner. Sinner has the complete game. Can improve at the net a bit more though.

 

[Arak]

De Minaur had that point guaranteed. Why did he opt to leave it is a brain fart he will regret for sure.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

It funny how when sinner got broken a few new people started posting. It’s like when a player people don’t like or root for gets in to trouble it’s a means to posting. It happens so much in here with many players.

A weird mentality but we all do it.

 

[Move]

That game represented the serve we all remember Sinner having

At 7 5 it clicked again

 

[jeroenn]

I think he can maybe do some more with his second serve. When his 1st is lettting him down, like today, his second is just more like a safety shot - at least I see a lot of kickers fairly in the middle. His 1st serve perceentage is pretty crap today. Also feels (to me) like he's not that comfortable here to really go for the inside out fh. These shorter balls are like cake for AdM to take over and put the pressure back on Sinner.

Some people don't root for anybody and just enjoy good tennis. It's the sycophants that disturb me. They act like a family member or a loved one is playing. It's weird.

Agree AdM is hitting with better depth today

Yeah but a couple of posters weren’t in the thread until sinner dropped serve. It’s like they were waiting to pounce like a hyena when he had a bad game! Hags

 

[jeroenn]

Yeah. I have a feeling a lot of players don't like this court for some reason, given the type of unforced errors I've seen here and there.

 

[Move]

Both players will hit some wall now ... will power is going to be important more than ever

 

[Move]

AdM putting so much returns in play ... danger time

 

[Move]

Sinner Overheads have improved since Bejing !

 

[maxplough]

What a great match! AdM unfazed by Jannik's brutal hitting and outsmarting him positionally. Love both of these guys, but I would be thrilled for Alex if he could do it. Just needs to cut down on those unforced errors that are creeping in...

 

[Move]

Big Hold from Jannik ... whos legs are going out first?

 

[Move]

Talking about improved serve : AdM anyone?

It is a final, wanting a nice 3 setter does not make anyone a hyena.

Very refreshing behaviour by both players, no yelling no ear cupping no swearing, i like it !

Both players are very well mannered. Both got great temperaments.

 

[Move]

Demon is moving not so springy anymore?

 

[jeroenn]

Looks like sinner is rallying with a just a tad more intensity now

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Incredible from sinner!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Great save from ADM. Great tennis from the Aussie.

 

[Move]

Oh my word ... shoes AdM must be worn out already

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This is incredible tennis by both men!

 

[jeroenn]

Wow. Sinner a tad further from the baseline allows him to swing fuller.

 

[Move]

We have break ... but Jannik has to hold now

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner is just too good man. I do also like how he doesn’t grunt either. He’s just a very efficient tennis player. He plays within himself and knows when to raise it.

 

[Move]

Wow. Sinner a tad further from the baseline allows him to swing fuller.

Thats his Tennis IQ, impressive

Hes wearing Alex out right now

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Hes wearing Alex out right now

His IQ and strategy has been immense again. Great play.

Hes wearing Alex out right now

Not yet ! What a fighter

 

[jeroenn]

Good grief!

 

[Move]

Re break, what a match we have in our hands

 

[Move]

This match keeps giving and giving, both players skiing across the court

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner looking to break again here.

 

[Move]

Ouch ! Its raining breaks!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

ADM is playing as well as he can but he just can’t do anything with Sinner’s power.

 

[jeroenn]

Interesting... I hope Sinner can find a few good first serves here now

Sinner is winning this in straight sets now

And to think that a couple years ago I was worried that tennis IQ might be Sinner's Achilles heel.

 

[Move]

The much touted Sinner Serve is nowhere to be seen right now .... but he has a game as a backup

 

[jeroenn]

Sinner is winning this in straight sets now

Likely, but his 1st serve percentage is pretty atrocious. Makes life easier, like how he served against Botic Griekspoor for example. Now he has to work more against someone who's a certified wall..

 

[Carax]

Jannik is on fire. Great to see.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Jannik winner chicken dinner!

 

[Move]

GSM Sinner. Great Final !

 

[jeroenn]

Nicely done. Great watch

 

[Deleted member 806402]

Thank you Jannik for insinnerating that demon.

 

[Move]

Jannik will have his name on the Boarding of the Stadium, together with lots of tennis legends
