thats the biggest lie I have ever heard. Zverev would slice Sinner in 2 if they had the same mental strength on court.
see 1/20 break points in arthur fils match.
In terms of talent, let's say athletic and tennis, excluding the serve (the second should also be taken into consideration, but this is due to his poor mental stability) exactly where is Zverev more gifted than Sinner?
I’m a huge fan of Bublik admitting he plays for the money
Excellent question, also because it is true that the head should be part of the talent package. But in these cases let's say that the reasoning we try to make is precisely the same with equal heads, so by talent we mean the combination of tennis fundamentals combined with physical ones.
BH is better, serve is better (would be much better with better mentality. endurance is definetely Zverev depite having DIABETES. The only reason he ever loses is because he chokes. AO: Chokes against Alcaraz and Medvedev FO: chokes against Alcaraz W: Chokes against Fritz. Cincinatti: chokes against Sinner (had like 15 break point chances) USO: Chokes once again, to Fritz. If Zverev had the same mental strength as Sinner he would be unstoppable.
I absolutely disagree with your analysis when you claim that Zverev's backhand is better, for me they are equivalent, as already said, on a single shot Zverev's is more devastating but in the exchange phase Sinner maneuvers him better. Basically there is no parameter to state that the BH of one is superior to the other and vice versa, they are equivalent as they are both elitist in the fundamental in question. Just as I absolutely disagree that Zverev prevails in terms of resistance, perhaps leveraging Sinner's negative record in matches that ended in the fifth set. Let's remember that when Zverev was Sinner's current age before 2020 he had never reached the semi-final in a major, when at the same time he was already standing out in best-of-3 sets tournaments such as the ATP Finals or the Masters 1000.
Why do you think he has didn’t reached a semi-final back then? Because he didn’t have the same mentality! If he was impressive in BO3 and not BO5 it means he doesn’t have the mental strength to keep on pushing himself! And saying Sinner has better endurance than Zverev is a joke. He cramps every 5 Seconds. I don’t think Zverev has ever cramped. Zverev has played over 50 matches this year and is still holding strong. Zverev’s backhand is the most beautiful on tour and you can’t help looking at it.
So we also charge the limit of resistance to the mentality. If you are not mentally solid you pay in important points and moments, it's not like you constantly get eliminated in the best of 5 sets against significantly inferior players as happened to him before 2020, when at the same time he ate those players in the best of 3 sets. On Sinner's resistance, what matters is not the appearance but the substance. He currently rides a seasonal record of 65-6, out of 14 tournaments played he has never done worse than the QF. To maintain such a level of excellence in such a constant way you must necessarily be solid physically too, otherwise these paces are impossible to sustain in the long run. As for the backhand, here too we confuse aesthetics with effectiveness. Data in hand in 2024 Sinner is the most solid player on the circuit in each of the two baseline fundamentals in question, regarding effectiveness. Sinner does what he wants with his backhand and never gets into trouble with anyone on that diagonal.
That has not been true of any tennis player who has ever existed, and it's certainly not true of Zverev.
His return is too much of a liability.
Mine it's not true or false, it's an opinion.
Not even close. He got all he could out of his talent.
Just as an aside, tennis commentary jobs are not lucrative.
