It will be interesting to see how much that tweaked ankle will cost Paul.
Yea I know many dudes dont like going to the net I get it. But Med has literally visibly shown he hates when guys do it. And him standing 20 feet behind baseline is a recipe for this.
That being said its easy for me to say.
Lots of people pay for what you got for free.

Universe knew the only way to prevent PaulGOAT was random injury down the stretch. Not ready for Tommy to be unleashed. That really sucks though he seemed to be zoning.

Both Medvedev and Curry getting completely bailed out by lucky opponent’s injuries tonight. Interesting
At some point the universe has to stop doing thjs to me but that’s not happening anytime soon

Only two aces for Med in over two sets is almost unheard of for the guy!

Get ready for the Meddy Teddy Bear!
He's coming for you Tommy (Paul), not Haas.

Medvedev is not alone. Alcaraz sinner all served crap today. The surface doesn't support great serving. Medvedev isn't bad at all on serve.
I'd say so. He was up a mini break when he rolled the ankle, then didn't win another point in the tiebreak.
Ahh that sucks. I would have liked to see no one hurt. But I guess thats just sports.

Meddy wins but just scrapes past Paul in the end. I fancy Alcaraz to win the final and title again. Still should be a good final.

Alcaraz comeback against Sinner was incredible. He is getting his form and confidence of first half of 2023 back. I think he’s a big favourite for title now.
His form looks better than meddy but we will see.

There's a tactical adjustment that Carlos made that broke Sinner down in set 2. Raz brought his variations to the fore, mixed the pace up and wreaked havoc on the rhythm Sinner loves. Then in set 3 after a couple of games, the Sinner body broke down too.
Hella similar to their Miami match tbh.

The way Alcaraz started hitting winners reminded me of last year. He simply took the match out of Sinner’s racquet just like he did to Djokovic last year at Wimbledon too.
Alcaraz showed me an alpha level of performance. He heard me and it was very impressive considering how well dinner has been playing and played.
Carlos showed us that form is temporary and class is permanent. I think both Carlos and Sinner are going to win a lot and we can’t write either guy if they go through a bad slump of form. They both quality players. Great match!
Meddy did enough against Paul and did well to win. The quality of tennis was lower though and more mistakes were made.
I think meddy did well to reach final but been helped by easy draw. I think alcaraz will be too hot for him to handle in final.

Funny that last year Alcaraz ended Medvedev's 19 match winning streak in Indian Wells and this year Alcaraz ended Sinner's 19 match winning streak.
Poetic.

I just noticed that 8 of us predicted Carlos would win at the beginning of the tournament and only one predicted Medvedev - if Med wins that guy is the only one who got it right but I do think Carlos will win today, I sure hope so!

Congrats to Alcaraz on winning the 2024 Indian Wells title.
He defends his title from last year meaning he joins only Djokovic and Federer to defend an Indian Wells trophy this century.
It also lands him his 5th Masters 1000 title and he jumps to #3 in the race rankings and holds firm at #2 in the rankings.

Have you sent him a tweet and congratulated him personally yet?
I highly doubt he reads TTW. He would have surfaced by now.

i am sending 100 emails to Juan Carlos Ferrero,,, please have Alcarez skip the Miami open and Rest. He must have his rest before clay season starts to win the French open for the 1st time.
There are plenty of vultures in the SoCal desert, but Alcaraz isn’t one of them.

Don't worry Darcy I wasn't picking on you personally.
I just get a kick whenever ANYONE here congratulates a player on a victory.
Just who is the intended recipient of the congratulations?
The player?
TTW'ers?
Someone else?
Myself, whenever a player wins a match/tournie and I'm glad they did,
I may something like well-deserved win, or he/she played well etc.
For example on the recent Hsieh doubles win:
"Just came in and watched the WTA final highlights.
Very happy to see the Hsieh team win another title.
... "The revenge tour is complete.

Where is the lie?
Nadal has been staying at Larry Ellison's house for a decade, they are extremely close friends.
And that is why Nadal came to Indian Wells 2024.
Wrong where?
