Sinner vs Alcaraz Beijing Final 2024

[Federer and Del Potro]

I am cool with these 2 meeting at all 4 slams next year. Match threads will be entertaining

 

[Olli Jokinen]

Loved the break of momentum move in the TB, learned it from his master, Novak.

Don't try to make this about your semi-retired idol.

 

[NeutralFan]

Deserved win, that sneaker malfunction was a bit of a shame. Don’t remember the last time so many heavy balls hitting the lines…

if Carlos continues to play like that, he will be very difficult to beat on the slower surfaces.

Silver lining is Carlos should have won in two but he struggles vs Sinner and even then it was close after Carlos playing so well.

 

[McGradey]

Only caught the final set but wow what a contest. Huge momentum swings. They’re so evenly matched and so different, great great stuff to watch!

 

[jimjam]

So, who do we think is the best player in the world right now? Sinner who's had the better year, or Alcaraz who's had a very good year and 3-0 against SIN on the way?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Alcaraz goes to 3-0 this year against Sinner. 2 wins on hard and 1 on clay.

The two each hold 2 slams. Sinner with 2 Masters but Alcaraz with 1.

End of the year is going to be fun, Sinner is clearly number 1 only by paper and paper alone. Alcaraz leading him.

 

[dking68]

Excuses. I'm glad Sinner fans are humbled

I never boasted, I actually thought Carlos would win with the offcourt issues. If wada hadn’t appealed, it would’ve been a repeat of last years result

 

[ppma]

Mickey Mouse tournament apparently lol. One that Sinner was desperately fighting for

They'll say Sinner was playing at 50% or that he was distracted about the juicing stuff. Never underestimate fam folks coping mechanisms.

 

[NeutralFan]

I can guarantee you that ,son!! Btw congratulations to @TheSlicer now stop hiding and don't wait for IW, your boy has given you a Mickey mouse on HC to celebrate. Enjoy it till AO, son

 

[Net Beast]

Brilliant way for Carlos to finish Sinner's insane HC domination this year, and his tiebreak streak. Goes up 3-0 against Sinner this year, two of those wins on HC.

Most importantly, it was Carlos who was blasting Sinner off the court for most of the match. His serve and BH seem to have improved exponentially in the last few months.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

He struggled to beat a B mode Sinner who could hardly put in a first serve. Anyways he had much offcourt issues

0-3 against Carlitos in 2024.

 

[TheAssassin]

Tennis won today for sure. Looking forward to more clashes between them. Best two of their generation and it's a close call between them more often than not.

 

[RF-18]

He struggled to beat a B mode Sinner who could hardly put in a first serve. Anyways he had much offcourt issues

Excuses man. Sinner just won USO beating the crap out of everyone.

Just own up to this loss. It's not the end of the world for Sinner.

 

[Bastion]

Mental toughness is such a big part of tennis. Looks like Carlos has more of it than Sinner in big points.

See?

 

[abmk]

55 winners for Alcaraz to only 30 for Sinner.
Sinner becoming more defensive/passive than previously has helped him against rest of tour, but goes against him vs Alcaraz.
was 4-3 Sinner by end of last year. now 4-6 Sinner with Sinner having lost all 3.

 

[dking68]

0-3 against Carlitos in 2024.

Tough for him. Too much pressure offcourt. I’m sure if he was at even his A- hardcourt level he would’ve won today. He’s a tiebreak king and lost the most important tiebreak today

 

[bw114]

“I never boasted”

“I did not have sexual relations with that woman”

 

[Gary Duane]

You voted Sinner in 2 lol @NeutralFan

Neutral Stan wrong again

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I hope Sinner's trainer is wearing gloves in case of a Clostebol doping contamination after that marathon match

 

[NYTennisfan]

So, who do we think is the best player in the world right now? Sinner who's had the better year, or Alcaraz who's had a very good year and 3-0 against SIN on the way?

Sinner has been more consistent outside of slams but 2 slams each, Alcaraz got a Silver and is 3-0 against Sinner. Probably pretty even 2024 overall, see how the year end goes to decide it.

 

[nolefam_2024]

0-3 against Carlitos in 2024.

0-3 is right

No excuses.

He is so unclutch omg

 

[Gary Duane]

Tough for him. Too much pressure offcourt. I’m sure if he was at even his A- hardcourt level he would’ve won today. He’s a tiebreak king and lost the most important tiebreak today

And the excuses start again...

Sorry for hiting a sore nerve, fedal.

 

[JJGUY]

people should have known who is going to win in Beijing

 

[ghostofMecir]

7 straight points from 0-3 to win the tie-break and tournament. Ok I'm impressed.

Sinner is better relative to the entire field but at their very best each, Carlitos has that extra something Sinner doesn’t.

 

[nolefam_2024]

people should have known who is going to win in Beijing

No

We didn't know. Some rando can wear this but won't win.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

So, who do we think is the best player in the world right now? Sinner who's had the better year, or Alcaraz who's had a very good year and 3-0 against SIN on the way?

I'm going with Alcaraz who's an all court player while Sinner seems to be just hard courts (but yet can't beat Alcaraz on the surface having lost twice to him this year!)

Alcaraz has a slam this year on grass and clay. A Masters on hard and now a 500 on hard against Sinner in the final!

Sinner has 2 slams this year on hard. 2 Masters on Hard and didn't win a single match against Alcaraz on any surface.

 

[Krish872007]

Fantastic last few minutes from Alcaraz - a very well deserved, hard fought win!

Hoping for more titanic clashes between these two, super entertaining stuff

 

[Zetty]

Silver lining is Carlos should have won in two but he struggles vs Sinner and even then it was close after Carlos playing so well.

He's got his number right now, beaten him the last three matches despite losing the first set in all of them.

 

[jimjam]

"1st player to win atp 500 title on all 3 surfaces" statistic just displayed

What do they mean? Do they mean the youngest to do it? Surely someone has done it before at some point?

 

[JJGUY]

No

We didn't know. Some rando can wear this but won't win.

sinner can wear that too, but Alcaraz wears it better!

Depends on what happens at the WTF.

 

[nolefam_2024]

No

This is preference. You prefer shorty I don't

 

[Olli Jokinen]

Sorry for hiting a sore nerve, fedal.

You just don't get it. This isn't about them either.

 

[dking68]

Excuses man. Sinner just won USO beating the crap out of everyone.

Just own up to this loss. It's not the end of the world for Sinner.

It doesn’t really matter but I still believe Sinner with his A- hardcourt game beats an A+ hardcourt Carlos. But well played by Carlos. The angles on the first serve were spot on, a deserved win. But I do think the offcourt issues would take its toll.

 

[Bastion]

Can Carlos still end nr. 1 this year ahead of Sinner?

 

[objection_]

I'm going with Alcaraz who's an all court player while Sinner seems to be just hard courts (but yet can't beat Alcaraz on the surface having lost twice to him this year!)

Alcaraz has a slam this year on grass and clay. A Masters on hard and now a 500 on hard against Sinner in the final!

Sinner has 2 slams this year on hard. 2 Masters on Hard and didn't win a single match against Alcaraz on any surface.

Will be super interesting to see how the indoor season plays out - don't think Sinner's gonna wipe the floor with everyone as certain fans have claimed... it would be lovely to see Sinner and Raz split the next two masters and determine the true #1 of the year in the YEC final, that would be cracking.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Well done Alcaraz!

I'm not surprised you were rooting for Alcaraz. I get the impression with you and other Fed fans that Alcaraz is more like Federer and Sinner is more like Djokovic.

 

[Zetty]

Can Carlos still end nr. 1 this year ahead of Sinner?

Highly doubt it, he's like 4k points behind, his US Open performance doomed him

 

[JJGUY]

No

This is preference. You prefer shorty I don't

I will support Sinner 100% next year after he serves his ban!

 

[NoleFam]

When I woke up this morning, it was 4 all in the 3rd and I missed most of this. That was a quite a performance from Alcaraz down love - 3 in the tiebreak. He turned on the afterburners. Sinner is 0-3 against Alcaraz this year. That is a shocking stat from such a great season and the world #1. Alcaraz has only 1 loss against the top 5 all year. Wow.

 

[nolefam_2024]

I'm not surprised you were rooting for Alcaraz. I get the impression with you and other Fed fans that Alcaraz is more like Federer and Sinner is more like Djokovic.

Alcaraz is not like Fed

Sinner is like Djokovic yes

 

[nolefam_2024]

I will support Sinner 100% next year after his serves his ban!

I want raz banned

 

[NeutralFan]

Neutral Stan wrong again

Bro, I predicted AO and USO for Sinner , it seems your memory took a dent in old age.

 

[dking68]

Everybody gloats over the win over Alcaraz but it took a solid A/A+ hardcourt level from him to beat a B mode Sinner in 3hrs 21 min. Oh man, I hope the ban lifts and the pressure off those shoulders eases off

 

[McGradey]

Brilliant way for Carlos to finish Sinner's insane HC domination this year, and his tiebreak streak. Goes up 3-0 against Sinner this year, two of those wins on HC.

Most importantly, it was Carlos who was blasting Sinner off the court for most of the match. His serve and BH seem to have improved exponentially in the last few months.

I was surprised at how much damage Alcaraz was doing off the ground. He had some pretty untidy misses because of how hard he was going at his shots but in the end the plan worked out for him.

There were also times I got that old feeling of watching Djokovic with Sinner, the relentless solidness and consistency that so often wins out, but not this time.

 

[nolefam_2024]

When I woke up this morning, it was 4 all in the 3rd and I missed most of this. That was a quite a performance from Alcaraz down love - 3 in the tiebreak. He turned on the afterburners. Sinner is 0-3 against Alcaraz this year. That is a shocking stat from such a great season and the world #1. Alcaraz has only 1 loss against the top 5 all year. Wow.

Alcaraz could have beaten sinner even more bloody

If sinner can't get his serves in, he is not going to win. What a bad performance.

 

[objection_]

Sinner ending with 30 winners and 31 UFE, Alcs with 55 winners and 52 UE's, not superb for a fast court but considering their defensive skills, more than acceptable
