Jack Draper "I have the weapons to beat Sinner Alcaraz"

[18x20 ftw]

In the biggest tournament outside the majors, arguably, Indian Wells, he beat Alcaraz in the final. Not sure why all the hate. I guess he was supposed to sweep the rest of the majors for any respect?

 

[BauerAlmeida]

Good mentality.

 

[dking68]

Show us yes. I do think he will break through eventually

 

[Fabrivitx]

the mental and physical grind it takes to beat the greats over the duration of a long match.

Thats the big Wall.

 

[18x20 ftw]

He did show you. He beat Alcaraz in the fifth largest tournament in the world, in the final.

Yes and I predicted it

 

[messiahrobins]

This is why he gets hyped, bc guys who believe in “alpha vs beta” ways of looking at society (like @messiahrobins) love when guys talk like this.

Do you prefer guys who say they will lose?

 

[Rosstour]

Do you prefer guys who say they will lose?

I prefer women actually, not that there’s anything wrong with the reverse…I do prefer the “under-promise and over-deliver” approach

“happy to be in the Final, gonna give my best out there and see what happens”, it’s very easy to say.

That was the Nadal way. Rafa did do it to wind people up to be fair, hence i enjoyed it, but i am waiting for a player to come out and say, ' i want revenge for my last loss to the mug and am going to take it right out of his ass'

OP has made close 1200 posts in less than 2 months, there's bound to be typos lol

Don't worry, its "typos" are intentional.

Here you go. Just not the player you were hoping for

ATP player claims he wants to get 'revenge' on Carlos Alcaraz and is hoping to face him in Madrid

Who is after revenge?

No he didn’t. It was the semi-final.

 

[ibbi]

I dont see him being a zverev esque

Maybe not. I mean, we can talk about level of competition, but I think he’s well behind where Zverev was at the same age.

Yeah for sure, but Draper to me will be a late bloomer and sometimes is just better that way.

 

[Racquet_smash]

Honestly Draper seems exactly the opposite of a profile capable of beating Sinner

 

[SonnyT]

Ney, Jack, the only sports you have over them is wrestling!

Why u think that?

 

[Fabrivitx]

The face card too

 

[tennis24x7]

Draper definitely has the weapons. People here are delusional enough to hand him the mug card but we all know what happened when Novak was decent and claimed he could bring down Fedal.

Was this before he won his first AO or after?

 

[The Aceserver]

“Those who live in glass bodies shouldn’t throw stones.”

Draper has the stuff, but we have yet to see him put in a full season. I would consider it a troubling pattern.

 

[Racquet_smash]

Why u think that?

Power baseline hitter, Sinner eats those for breakfast. Only potential advantage is being lefty.

Hes lefty is maybe limited by the sinner elite backhand but thats not the entire package.
Draper just need to reduce the % in rallies mistakes and hes right there to battle against anybody

Hes new trainer is Murray ex, he will develope in the new iron british

Hopefully, he doesn’t grind his hips into dust!

 

[Fabrivitx]

ehh already have a better forehand than murray, so no worries about hes hip rotation

Of all the current tour (barring Djokovic) it's actually the 2 old suspects turning up in their best form that can beat Sinnercraz in a slam.

It's Medvedev and Zverev.

It's practically impossible now given how far they have fallen but both have demonstrated they can handle these two if their games click.

People forget but Medvedev with his worst run to a slam final was obliterating Sinner till he ran out of gas. The slam before he beat Alcaraz comprehensively.

People will not remember it but the Zverev Carlos match that Zod won had a long patch at the end where Carlos went into his zone like this year's RG final. Zed handled him still.


I still am betting on Medvedev to do something in AO but the point is these two are the only proven players aside from Djokovic.


As for Draper , not seen him enough but 100% this should be the attitude.

That’s because both Daniil and Sascha are the best players of their generation (including Thiem), which is still respectable regardless of how poor that gen is. They got much to blame too but they’re still two of the unluckiest players ever in my book all things considered, literally sandwiched between two big ATGs eras.

You also predicted him to win Wimbledon 2025. How did that go? There’s a thread you started.

LOL, Jack Draper's biggest enemy is his own body.

Exactly. A much better philosophy then ending up the next Rune.

 

[Nappa]

This reminds me of the time when everybody laughed at good young Rune when he said he would surpass Nadals RG record and who is laughing now, huh?

 

[Wesling]

to beat sinner you need to be a servebot with good baseline game.

snag a few tiebreaks.

Or STRETCH him so he's hitting shots from the doubles alley

 

[GrassMasters]

Who's Sinner Alcaraz? Never heard of him.

 

[Fabrivitx]

Suure its that easy the recipe

He was goated for that, vikings humor perhaps

 

[Fedcraz]

Draper is deluded

The same people who were laughing back then...

 

[TennisGrandpA]

He’s gonna win either the 2026 or 2027 USO

No, he’s not good enough to win a slam

 

[Wesling]

no but without easy holds you are toast

For servebots, the slow fluffy balls are against them.

It’s not EASY but that’s the path. Sinner doesn’t like playing big servers.

Dimitrov almost did it at Wimbledon. Shapo troubled him briefly at USO. Federer would have smoked him lol

Agree on the last statement.
Shapo has the pace and depth that matches up with sinner and did that day. But he just fumbles the bag even in big matches he plays well. He was hitting with pace and depth and sinner was neutralized for a good portion of that match.

Shapo will go down as one who wasted his talent.

Lol people still use that dimitrov match ignoring the fact sinner was clearly not right after hurting hes elbow in the first game, but whataver makes u happy.. sinner eats big servers like Candy, data dont lie

The only right thing u said this month

Lol

 

[ChrisJR3264]

Why is it that every time sinner is about to lose or loses, it’s “he was not right”

 

[ChrisJR3264]

The only right thing u said this month

Ah changed the wording last second to avoid a proper response

but you forgot agreeing with fed would wipe the floor with sinner. Break his ankles so bad, the clostobol would excrete out of his psoriasis ridden feet.
