Rome 2025 FINAL - Sinner vs Alcaraz

[nolefam_2024]

How did Sinner win that point?

Alcaraz was bullying him.

Because sinner has functioning brain

baelos is good

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Can Alcatraz have a service game where he doesn’t struggle?

 

[Hitman]

Sinner is not liking those high balls that Alcaraz keeps giving him.

 

[Racquet_smash]

Sinner should return far better than this, this game was thrown

Wilander ringside, plotting

 

[Succession]

Can Alcatraz have a service game where he doesn’t struggle?

I believe not, it's just how it is

 

[Hitman]

OMG! What a forehand by Sinner!!!!

 

[MichaelNadal]

Full house. Looks like a perfect day for tennis.

And snax

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner needs to stick to the old paul style returning on baseline. He should not fall too back

 

[Carax]

Damn, what a forehand.

 

[TennisGrandpA]

What a massive FH from Sinner, people still complain about level when he has almost everything perfect

 

[Hitman]

Body serve. Nice.

 

[odonogar]

So far both at a very high level

 

[mike danny]

Wilander ringside, plotting

Ready to analyse whether Sinner’s balls shrink when facing Alcaraz?

 

[Racquet_smash]

Error feast of a match

 

[flyingboris]

OMG! What a forehand by Sinner!!!!

Hit on the run, feet not planted. Scary stuff!

 

[jl809]

I like the way Raz is treating 2nd serves these days

 

[TennisGrandpA]

Hate it or like it but Sinneraz are blockbuster , they have already been in their recent matches going in last set

 

[nolefam_2024]

See raz standing on baseline on second serve return. Sinner needs to do this as well for first.

 

[Hitman]

There it is again! Alcaraz with the high bouncing forehand immediately puts Sinner into trouble.

 

[mike danny]

Carl has the potential to bully Sinner more than vice-versa

 

[Racquet_smash]

Sinner for a 190cm serves terribly

Time to hire Ivanisevic

 

[nolefam_2024]

Djokovic in 2024 Olympics showed higher level than Sinner till now.

 

[jl809]

Sinner struggling with high balls and being dragged off court by angles but sure, he would have threatened Prime Ned on clay

 

[MichaelNadal]

Carl has the potential to bully Sinner more than vice-versa

Yeah he’s making Sinner look like he’s on skates at times lol

 

[TennisGrandpA]

Carl has the potential to bully Sinner more than vice-versa

Sinner’s serve is nullifying that minor advantage Carlos has here

 

[Hitman]

Carl has the potential to bully Sinner more than vice-versa

Especially on a clay court, he is producing an insane arc on some of those balls, it is pushing Sinner well behind the baseline.

BP now.

 

[Deleted member 827468]

tiny is a better player so far outside serve

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Is it me or Sinner is the passive one, like really passive one, but with a better serve?

 

[clayqueen]

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

The coach takes too much credit and too much blame. Alcaraz cannot keep channelling his inner Rafa forever; he has to be himself.

 

[Carax]

First BP of the match.

 

[abmk]

Carl has the potential to bully Sinner more than vice-versa

on clay for sure, if he plays it tactically right.
BP Alcaraz

 

[Racquet_smash]

Wtf is this Ruud-esque baseline level?

 

[flyingboris]

My stream is minutes behind, but it's nice to see that Carlos is getting deep into Sinner's service games.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

you wouldn’t know this was a final judging by the level today. This is awful tennis so far for the top 2 players in the world . They need to pick it up.

 

[TennisGrandpA]

Sinner seems rusty at times with flashes if brilliance , it seems lack of matches in last two months is taking a toll, he will only improve at RG

 

[Deleted member 827468]

sonic holds

 

[jl809]

For gods sake do we have to listen to Juan Carlos for the whole 2 hours? Can we not mute him?

 

[Hitman]

Sinner holds, did you notice how he had to do that Safin like jump to get on top of the ball. Alcaraz is making it very hard for him out there.

 

[Jonas78]

Carlos better at the rallies, but Sinner sooo hard to break...

 

[Racquet_smash]

Solid bail out there, but so far Sinner's baseline level is very disappointing.

 

[TennisGrandpA]

you wouldn’t know this was a final judging by the level today. This is awful tennis so far for the top 2 players in the world . They need to pick it up.

You must be fun at parties . You want every shot to be winner on freaking clay? lol

Yes lots of mistakes. But the match has just started, I also blame sunlight /shadows, not easy. It will get better

Carrot roars

If these are the two best players on tour, it doesn't bode well for the sport, regardless of the hype they give them.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner handling Raz bounce easily in that rally.

I watched Rome 2021 F again 4 or 5 days ago. In retrospect I wish I hadn’t

 

[sortof]

Good hold under some pressure.

Ferrero is constantly in Raz's ear.
