Is tomorrow the day Alcaraz finally loses to a player younger than him?

Will he?

@dking68 as easily predictable, Sinner's CYGS chances fall entirely on Roland Garros.
If he manages to conquer Paris, he will leave a nice seal.
It would be yet another psychological setback for the entire competition if Sinner, returning from disqualification, immediately wins the slam on the surface least congenial to him.

But to do so there is the biggest obstacle called Carlos Alcaraz.
Also for this reason it would be more appropriate for Alcaraz to overtake Zverev in the rankings.
Sinner would have an even better chance of beating him in a final.

Anyway, watch out, Panichi declared yesterday that Sinner will physically and mentally emerge from this disqualification as a war machine ready to compete right from Rome.
He spoke of macro-works that have replaced the usual micro-works.
I can't wait...
Sinner fans need to take it one tourney at a time.
On paper, getting through RG should greatly improve his odds to win all 4 slams.

But no one saw Medvedev beating him in the QF at Wimbledon last year. To me, grass and clay can increase upsets due to surface unpredictability.

He wasn’t well in the Medvedev match

Exactly.

Don't boast things like they already happened and you are from the future.

For me, if he overcomes the obstacle, Roland Garros will do the CYSG.
Winning Roland Garros would further increase the already very high awareness of his own means, and at the same time it would take it away from the competition.

The outcome of Roland Garros could also have repercussions in the perspective of Wimbledon, both for Alcaraz and for Sinner.
Because the exact opposite is also true, that is, if Sinner were not to win Roland Garros, for me the chances of winning Wimbledon would also decrease.
Tennis is also and above all a question of psychology and trust.

Then I repeat, it is my prediction that I do not want to pass it off as an incontrovertible truth.
No one has a crystal ball.
 
I didn't get to watch the match but Carlos clearly continues to frustrate. Especially with JCF in his corner I don't understand how Carlos still refuses to learn how to play on this surface even though it suits his talents so insanely well. It's crazy that I still think there's a real chance he sweeps the clay season despite playing with what I would consider very poor strategy.

Carlos alcaraz plays like the girls are watching someone said just now..

I hate these errors he makes.. he is going to have rough go if he wants to be number 1. This is NOT the way.

He's 21. He's already been number 1. He's been super clutch in big moments and he's the most talented player on the planet I would bet my left nut he gets back to number 1. Even if he continues to play in this way he'll get back to number 1 he's just too talented not to.

Number 1 by proxy .

He was not best player ever in that period. It was Djokovic.
 
If that's how you consider number 1 if I asked you who the best player in the world was after Wimbledon last year what would've been your answer?
Sinner absolutely. My record will show it. I fought for the right side even when raz fans were getting violently angry when sinner won Cincinnati.

Listen man. You can NOT ban the best player and decide someone else is the best. Djokovic owned 2021/2023 and by such a margin that he won 11000 pts even while sitting out most of the tournaments in 2023. That's how ahead of the field he was.

Raz is good player but he was never the best till now. Sinner did surpass Nole properly in 2024.

Clay is easy to predict because Sinner hasn't won a clay title since 2022 (and it was Umag), so we can rule out Sinner from winning anything on clay (n)
And Sinner has only ever won ONE grass tournament (Halle), and he's lost 6 sets in a row to Djokovic at Wimbledon... so Sinner has no chance of winning Wimbledon either...
Even worse for Sinner, is that he's 0-3 vs. Alcaraz in 2024, so if they meet at Wimbledon its even harder for Sinner than it would be for Djokovoic who lost to Alcaraz 62 62 76 last year at Wimbledon.

That's just a bad take. After W 24 Raz and Sinner had the same amount of Masters Raz was up 2-1 in slams and 2-0 H2H with those wins coming on clay and hard and is the back to back Wimbledon champion. Not to mention he had the more impressive NA HC season the year before.

I agree Novak was the best player in the world in 2021-23 but you can't have it both ways either you care about the ranking or you care about a more subjective review of the results. Either way there was a point in history were the answer is Carlos. And there will be again.

What is bad in that.

Raz won 4 slams but that doesn't show he was dominating in 12 months. Career wise he was ahead and Sinner was getting there. But domination wise raz was not ahead at all.

Emma raducanu has 1 slam but she isn't ahead of Jessica Pegula.

Sinner isn't good enough to win a slam title, other than hardcourt slams.
So he's the opposite of Djokovic...
Whereas Alcaraz has already won slams on Clay, Grass, Hardcourt, exactly what Djokovic is known for, except Alcaraz is WAY ahead of 21-year-old Djokovic.
Alcaraz has also won year-end-#1 (of 2022), and has been ranked #1 for 36 weeks (and that is only 8 less weeks than Sinner).
 
The raz fans had field day saying 4 slams to 1 and such bs while sinner was actually raising up his floor level so high that he don't even need to peak today to win slams. He just goes to a tournament and is favorite.

That is dominance. Raz winning out of nowhere is good as well but he has not been best player. Sinner has.
 
Fils had him until he went full on “Medvedev up 2 sets to 0 in Australia what happened? ” mode

I’m actually now liking sinner for the calendar slam this year. Judging by Carlos and Djokers form (or his body breaking down at least)

Sinner is more than capable of winning multiple RGs and Wimbledon titles especially now that Djoker is old and has been phased out more or
Less

He was ahead because he had far more impressive results. Sinner went on to dominate the next 8 months but to that point he was second best and there's really no argument otherwise.

I don't think so. This is your all slam is everything mindset not mine. Sinner in last 12 months has more titles and when he lost it was in semis or finals.

Slam is everything mentality is why people make so bad assertions.

Sinner winning the channel slam would be the most depressing occurrence I've seen in tennis since I became a fan.

My dude they both had 1 masters to that point ... and Alcaraz won his beating Sinner, Zverev, and Medvedev back to back to back. Technically Toronto was in the last 12 months at that point but if we're going by the subjective feeling of who's the best in the world that's ancient history and shouldn't be considered and even if it was he beat frickin De Minaur literally who cares Alcaraz's Cincinnati is more impressive even though he didn't win.

Carlos achieved more on a bean counting level and achieved what he achieved in way more impressive fashion. Sinner won his only slam at that point because a not even peak Medvedev gassed out. Carlos beat the two best players in the world at RG then took a dump on the field at Wimbledon.

There's just no reasonable case for Sinner at that point. If you want to point to subjective feeling as important then there really is no clearer case denying this is like denying Djokovic felt like the best player in the world after 2016 and even there at least Murray beat him a couple times.

In 2024 you mean?

Yes. And sinner was leading the race till rg end. Only in Wimbledon he lost the lead if he did.

Don't confuse the race with 12 year long ranking.

...you clearly said we weren't talking about ranking if we're talking about ranking then Carlos has been ranked number 1 and there is no discussion. I'm trying to give you a chance here dude...

No I won't take the chance.

We are absolutely talking about the ranking but not SHAM ranking.. Djokovic was deliberately sidelined due to stupid decisions by atp. Not allowing him to play and taking points away for wins will mathematically give raz some rank but not really.

I am talking about ranking only.

ok dude
 
He’s the best player of his generation and if he wins he would deserve it, why it would be depressing?
Cause they don't want to see him achieve CYGS, which Fed, Nadal and Djokovic couldn't achieve. He's probably the best player outside of the big 3 to achieve it. If Wilander could win 3 slams in a year, I can't see why Sinner can't.

Well Laver did CYGS.....
 
alcaraz was to sinner in 2024 what Federer was to nadal in 2017. Fed was the big match player vs Rafa going 4-0 like Alcaraz went 3-0 against sinner. Roger strategically avoided Rafa on clay like Sinner carefully avoided Carlos on clay at the olympics letting Novak and Alcaraz destroy each other soul and body in order to easily pick up the USO against taylor swift where Nole and Carlos obviously suffered from the olympics hangover

Because I think more likely than not he's a steroid abuser and also I just don't think he's all that good on natural surfaces so if he sweeps the channel slam it would likely mean that the tennis was not very good at RG and Wimby which would be sad.

He has just entered his prime so we can’t say he’s not that good on natural surfaces and he has proved his innocence so we should stop speculating about steroid use. Imo if he wins Channel slam then he will win CYGS this year and it would be a testament to his greatness, he’s far more superior player than Carlos and he’s proving it .

Right in the same way that some people believe Evander Holyfield proved he never took steroids. You're free to believe what you want but for me and many other fans Sinner is and forever will be tainted. Obviously if he wins CYGS that would be a ridiculous achievement but nothing I've seen from him has shown me the tennis he's capable of producing is worthy of the achievement. We're talking about a guy who's 7-17 on clay against the top 10 and lost to Medvedev of all people at Wimbledon last year. He's almost 24 and has 2 titles combined on natural surfaces. His standard game is good enough that he will probably win some slams on natural surfaces especially because the field on grass is so pathetic anyone can win but by no means does he have the skillset to be dominant unless the field completely ****s itself which it may continue to do.
 
OP has been predicting for years that Sinner will win every tournament he plays and Alcaraz will lose every match. He then crows when these actually happen while ignoring all his failed predictions that are more common when Sinner doesn’t win a tournament or Alcaraz wins a match. Then his fellow Sinner fanatics act as enablers and amplify all this polluting noise which is not really tennis analysis.

Sinner still has to prove his prowess on clay and grass which he might considering his overall solid game and fast improvement (sponsored by Clostebol) in the past 2 years. But it is worth noting that while he has won a lot on hard courts since he became #1, he didn’t do that on grass/clay yet and there is no harm if someone says he is still an unproven commodity on those natural surfaces. Alcaraz has won big titles on all surfaces and so far can claim to be much more versatile.

Exactly exactly. Don't act as enablers for these type of members. Because you become part of collective group bashing then.

No, sinner fans don't have to all be just like op.

We get it. He’s a sinner fan. Sinner is a great player. Most predictions are backed by analysis and logic, not wild guesses.

A lot of words here to justify your own belief system. None was supported legally nor scientifically. Mind you. You don’t have to convince anyone. If Sinner can achieve CYGS, good food Sinner and his fans. If he could not in his career, then you are a proper clairvoyant. Don’t be depressed and enjoy tennis. There are many hungry 2000s born players so don’t worry about the field. It should be competitive very soon, I hope.

I felt sinner should’ve won that SF match at RG but he really looked and played right when Raz got more aggressive in that fourth set then pummeled him through the fifth.

He continues to cry because in the meantime, despite the handicap of the 3-month disqualification, Alcaraz will not be able to fill the gap in the rankings that separates him from Sinner.
The maximum certification of Sinner's superiority over the current competition.

Seeing your certainties crumble of those who thought after the triumph of Wimbledon 2023 that Alcaraz had the red carpet under his feet for a career as a predestined GOAT is the thing that gives the most satisfaction.

Last year Alcaraz on his favorable surface in the matchup had to sweat 5 sets to win, against a Sinner recovering from the hip problem that negatively affected his preparation.
This year, however, in Paris he will likely arrive intact and super motivated, so it will be a completely different story.

He has started to dominate the hard surface and slowly, just like Djokovic post 2010, he will start to establish his kingdom everywhere, simply because he lives tennis as an obsession and wants to always improve, no need to settle.
In less than a month Sinner will be there again to ruin your party.

Exactly where would he have massacred him in the fifth if after suffering the break at the beginning of the set, all the subsequent games on Alcaraz's serve were decided in advantages?

Sinner, unlike Zverev in the subsequent final, never gave up, just as he usually does since Sinner is someone who bends but does not break.
In all their challenges Alcaraz never dominated him a single time.

Sinner started strong in the Roland Garros semifinal also thanks to a very subdued Alcaraz, then he began to lose intensity precisely because he arrived at that Roland Garros with a preparation compromised by that hip problem that forced him to withdraw from Madrid and to give up Rome having to stay two weeks without being able to take care of the athletic part.

Again. There was no hip issue.
just like we learned he wasn’t sick for missing the Olympics. We just bought the lie he had a hip injury and illness

Yeah okay, bye.
He discovered the two positive tests between the end of Miami and the beginning of Monte Carlo.
He already played in Monte Carlo knowing about the news and it doesn't seem to me that he decided to retire.

I thought you were a more serious poster than others, instead you're the usual spiteful conspiracy theorist, ergo, I'm just wasting time arguing.
