Has Sinner been robbed of his chance to get some payback?

[Hitman]

Sinner who is 0-6 against Medvedev has never played him on clay courts. Sinner showing some great form in his first match, probably looking at this court and these conditions to get back at Medvedev in the quarters. We all know what happened to Medvedev.

Was Sinner robbed of his chance here to extract some payback?

 

[MeatTornado]

No

 

[legcramp]

Nah, Sinner can sleep better tonight knowing the slender man won't get him in a few days anymore.

 

[Jonesy]

He will get his payback at Wimbledon. Med is just avoiding the inevitable.

 

[Terenigma]

No.

If you need to play your rival on one specific court surface that favors you over your opponent just to stand a chance of beating them then maybe you're just not that good of a player. Also feel free to read this post a few times Nadal fans.

Sinner at age 27 will achieve far more than 1 slam Medvedev, book mark it if you will

 

[Cortana]

No.

Nadal best Djokovic on HC several times.

Sinner was gifted an easier draw

When was the last time? Also ask yourself how old you are now, and how old you were when your comment was true.

 

[The Guru]

Will say this. Now Rune and Sinner have no excuses. If one of them is not in the final that's a fail.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner needs to get in line. Sharapova waited for 2 decades and Serena dodged her in the end.

 

[legcramp]

I feel like people sleeping on Casper Ruud especially without Nadal present where he can't just mug it up.

USO 2013.

Ruud will get trashed by Sinner/Rune.

This is true, but I have a feeling neither will reach the final. Someone like Karatsev could beat Sinner in 4R and Holger (despite a very soft draw) can lose to mugs if he's having an off day.

Wasn't really a prediction I'm just setting the bar. I wouldn't be completely shocked if it's Ruud, Fritz, Zverev, or even god forbid Cerundolo but they should be able to get it done.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Holgar reaching final is difficult right now. But Sinner has great chance. Sinner is physically more developed and better player than Ruud already. Holgar had matchup issue with Ruud.

Karatsev? The guy Sinner beat 2 years ago on clay? Please take a seat young miss. The final is his for the taking

 

[UnforcedTerror]

No.

Disagree. It's clay and Ruud is still there.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Disagree. Ruud is still there.

Ruud shouldn't even reach semis in a just world.

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Ruud shouldn't even reach semis in a just world.

Nah. Ruud is underrated on clay. He certainly has what it takes to make it to the semis of any big clay tournament.

 

[Jonesy]

Ruud shouldn't even reach semis in a just world.

Don't worry, this is a just year, unlike the last one. And karma always comes with interest.

 

[nolefam_2024]

If this is just year this ye ranking might be
Djokovic 1 or 2
Medvedev 1 or 2
Raz 3

 

[Tennfan123]

No.
Sinner will go down the first chance he gets.

 

[Jonesy]

If this is just year this ye ranking might be
Djokovic 1 or 2
Medvedev 1 or 2
Raz 3

Don't know about Raz or Med, but Novak is definitely YE n.1.

 

[nolefam_2024]

He got a chance now.

 

[Hitman]

He got a chance now.

He does indeed.

 

[dking68]

He got a chance now.

I say he beats him tomorrow. Every dog has its day and Sinner needs to prove the world he’s ready

I picked sinner to win Beijing.

 

[dking68]

I picked sinner to win Beijing.

I realized and I was surprised. I think he is starting to peak now. Will reach a slam final for sure next year, good chance of winning one

 

[dking68]

@nachiket nolefam remember Sinner’s deadline is USO 2024. He needs to win next years AO/USO to prove he’s an ATG to be. Agassi won first slam at 22, let’s see if Sinner can do it

I would love to see him try to best Novak or medvedev in best of 5. Both of those l
Players styles wear sinner down.
