Feeling good but it's Sinner. He's always been Sinner 2.0 against Alcaraz.@FeroBango @Thesli hows the feeling for this match?
Well, he's Sinner 0-2 vs. Carlos this year albeit not on fast hard court like this one so....have some faith my friend. Bamos!!!Feeling good but it's Sinner. He's always been Sinner 2.0 against Alcaraz.
They have a one week holiday, so both beijing and shanghai tornaments can take advantage of thatWhy such a late finish to the tournaments btw? Wednesday final with Shanghai already starting? Wtf. What a mess.
Weird schedule for sure.Hoping for a good match. Both players should be in great form.
If Sinner wins, he ties the h2h and takes his already amazing year to another level.
If Alcaraz wins, he takes control of the h2h and puts aside all questions about hard court troubles.
Will they have anything left for Shanghai?
What mess? There is no mess for them, both have the first round bye, their first match won't start before Saturday or later.Why such a late finish to the tournaments btw? Wednesday final with Shanghai already starting? Wtf. What a mess.
Meddy hits very flat and hard.I give the edge to Alky. Looked damn good with his shots today. Meddy had not much left to do than joke around.
This should be an amazing match. I have no idea which version of Alcaraz will show up. Will it be 2024 IW alcaraz, the same guy that slaughtered Zverev and Med in straights while dishing out a breadstick to each guy? Or will it be 2024 Miami Alcaraz, the same guy that got crushed by Dimi?
I'm talking Sinner in 3. 2-6, 6-4, 7-6. This will be a barn-burner.
Im very glad Alcaraz is playing like himself again, as i predicted after the cincy and uso bad performances, It was a mental thing after an intense summer, not that he cant play on hard, lol, people were deluded to think that, about tomorrow, i dont know, Alcaraz is playing better, but conditions should suit sinner more, could go either way, i favour Alcaraz a bit given the situation, but if he wins tomorrow, watch out for him for the rest of the season, wtf included, he Will have the confidence and motivation back@FeroBango @TheSlicer hows the feeling for this match?

1 is median. Sinner was thrashing Carlos even on slow IW. I think he should win tomorrow.
Their first final in 2 yearsHere we go!!!
Their first final of the year.
I never know with these two but I have to think that Sinner is at a disadvantage because of the doping controversy which must be bothering him a lot.Here we go!!!

I think in New York he might have felt like the worst of it was over. What is happening right now is kind of like being cleared by a doctor for being OK and then finding out you have to have more serious tests.Didn't seem to have an impact in New York.
Agree that the fact that the matches aren't easy to pick adds an element of surprise to their matches.

So basically 2 tournaments after winning wimbledon, not a long bad weather season doper loverGood to see you around , son! I thought you will be here after IW, but like a true fair weather fan you're here after Carlos made a final on HC

Yep, Alcaraz would have his chances but this surface definitely favours Sinner, as its a fast & low bouncing HC. Juicing doped carrot is definitely the favourite here.Also picked Sinner in 3. Alcaraz should make it very competitive, but Sonic Jannik should be able to tough it out.
