TINY TO SAVE TENNIS (If not here then at RG)

 

[TennisGrandpA]

Oops Sinner acing now , how scary he will be if he starts servebotting? He already has best BH, return, almost best FH , my boy has become unbeatable machine

TINY TO SAVE TENNIS (If not here then at RG)

Tennis is not to be saved. Its completely safe.

 

[Hitman]

That ball is bouncing

 

[MeatTornado]

Yes but RG -Rome double has been very difficult, even Nadal failed lately and Nole never completed the double. I hope both play best but Sinner loses this, not a jinx but i am going with pattern.

Since moving Rome to its current spot on the calendar as the final clay Masters before RG, the double has only been completed 4 times. Not surprising who did it.

2019 Nadal

Enjoy tennis and Carlos magic ( if he’s your favourite) without having to be worried about anything else

 

[nolefam_2024]

Raz will make BUCKET load of errors. Be very level headed. That's his style.

 

[Jonas78]

Lots of UEs...

Omg even Nadal who has won RG 14 times did it only 4 times , no wonder some thinks Rome is a slam in it’s own right , it has been historically difficult

 

[Hitman]

What a massive forehand by Sinner!

 

[jl809]

this is the worst lighting for a masters final I think I’ve ever seen, wtf

 

[nolefam_2024]

BOOM

 

[TennisGrandpA]

Big inside out FH winner from world number one

 

[NaDjoFed]

Lots of mistakes. the court in sun/shadows does not help I think

 

[Poisoned Slice]

POWER!

Okay but this is also interesting, the runner-up of Rome went on to win RG just as much. So there's no correlation with who wins the Rome final.

2011 Nadal
2014 Nadal
2016 Djokovic
2021 Djokovic

LOL - Alcaraz high bouncing Sinner to death.

1-1

Why did Meddy not win RG

 

[Jonas78]

Lots of mistakes. the court in sun/shadows does not help I think

Was thinking the same...

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Sinner looking like he did against Paul at the moment

 

[clayqueen]

I'm entirely neutral. Gone are the days when I watched, sitting on the edge of my seat with anxiety, regardless of whether Rafa was blowing his opponent off the court or not, until I heard the words "Game, set, and match, Nadal."

Sinner also hasn't played in the day for the last few rounds, so the adjustment probably takes a little time.

Well Rome only moved to its current spot in 2011, and Nadal already won Rome plenty of times before that. So it's not a 4/14 conversion rate. More like 4/9.

 

[Hitman]

Heavy hitting, they are trading massive blows. But Alcaraz is already moving like a panther out there.

 

[albertobra]

Already 3-4 FH shanked by Sinner.

He is massive favorite for RG

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Ugly error fest so far. Definitely not high quality. More like cocoa gauff yesterday

 

[flyingboris]

Full house. Looks like a perfect day for tennis.

 

[TennisGrandpA]

what a Bh DTL from Carlos , his Bh is so much better in clay and grass

 

[mike danny]

Not much separating them so far.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

I’ve said it all year. Alcaraz’s form for the last year has absolutely STUNK. He’s basically only here due to a mug field He’s nowhere near as good as he was in 2022-2023. Time for a new coach. Wouldn’t be surprised if sinner runs away with the match in the next 5-10 mins with a single break

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner Shanks make sense. Like FH return
Alcaraz don't.

 

[Arak]

Sinner looking a notch better than Alcaraz in the first three games.

 

[Racquet_smash]

Sinner mishitting 4 fotehands so far is very unusual. Sunlight maybe?

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Sir this is a Wendy's

Why do you watch matches you don't enjoy?

And 3 out of those 4 times the loser of the final beat his conqueror from Rome at RG. Only in 2011 that re-match didn't happen because Federer beat Djokovic.

 

[Rosstour]

FH was shanky in past few matches but no one noticed bc they were falling all over themselves to praise his domination.

 

[jl809]

Super early doors but seems like Sinner may have an non-insignificant advantage on serve and return, so will come down to how passive he lets himself be in rallies

 

[Carax]

Sinner trying so hard to be known as a fox, but the fans are still associating him with a carrot lol.

 

[Racquet_smash]

Very poor return there

 

[junior74]

Always strenge to see world class strokes followed by 3.0 UEs

 

[Hitman]

How did Sinner win that point?

Alcaraz was bullying him.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Always strenge to see world class strokes followed by 3.0 UEs

That's next gen style.

 

[Succession]

High loopy FHs into Sinner's BH and then blasting a FH down the line is so beautiful to watch
