Sinner is robbing meddy of his dignity.
It was incredible from meddy to win Wimbledon match thereby saving his legacy. But this sinner guy is just too much for meddy.

Sinner's serve +1 combo is an ATG combo right now.
During the last 52 weeks on hard courts, here are the players with the best % of service games won:
1. Sinner 91.5%
2. Djokovic 89.5%
3. Hurkacz 89.4%
4. Zverev 88.9%
5. Fritz 88.8%
The difference between #1 and #2(2.0% margin) is bigger than the margin between #2 and #8 Humbert(1.5% margin). That is absolutely ridiculous. Honestly, I think that Sinner will get better at serving. The guy is 6 foot 4 with really long arms. His ace% on hard courts this year is only at 9.9%; although that's a big improvement from his 8.5% in 2023. That's good, but not for his size. Federer with his new racket was regularly at 12.0%+ until 2019. His peak was 12.3% in 2015, but he was at least 12.0% each year from 2015-2018. I see no reason why Sinner can at least get his ace % up to the 12% range like modern-racket old man Fed did.

Sinner needs to get Goran coaching in off season. He helped Djokovic have monster runs like AO 21 where he was tour leader on aces.

Sinner with Goran is a very scary thought.

I wonder what the OP thinks now, two slams later. Maybe the arrogance of his original post has become his undoing.

...or, he's just jumping on the little Alcaraz bandwagon so he no longer has to defend his OP?

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a non compete agreement in Goran's contract that would prevent him from working with a direct competitor

Yoiu are right it was my thread. FFS...in my defence its an example of the duality of man. I have a split personality so the first post was my other side of me clearly.

OK I guess that's fair. I have never thought Carlos was arrogant or unpleasant in any way. To me he has always seemed like a nice kid. I do think it's fair to say that if he wants to be an all time great who wins lots of slams he is going to have to get wiser in the future about his shot selection.LOL

Charlie’s answer about his and Rafa’s forehand was quite fitting. He gives it to Nadal, but ‘I like my forehand’ and ’I’m still at the beginning’ illustrate his mentality.
He is both very respectful and self-confident, which is quite endearing in a youngster.

Lol, any sane kid would not chose his own forehand over Rafa. Carlos is cocky af , that's the reason never liked him.

Yah, man. Well put. Just saw this comment by Pat Cash - I'm not sure when it was said, but interesting that another tennis commentator expresses how special Carlitos is:
