No chance, Sinner's GF is way more beautiful than that plastic barbie doll.Fritz's girlfriend's eyes are drawn to the check that Sinner has just received.

After witnessing Sinner matches for a year now, I've come to the conclusion that Sinner morphs into the height of his opponent for the particular matchSinner is freakishly tall too... Honestly doesn't look any shorter than Fritz, who's a legit 196 cm.
Well deserved win for sinner and well done.
But for a world number 1 and a straight set win, there were phases in the 3rd set where the serve looked wonky, and once fritz found some energy he outhit sinner lasering some fhs and going on stretches of point wins. Thought sinner would dominate outright.
Still think tiafoe would have brought the crowd in to the game and competed better against sinner than fritz did.
Height awareness moment:
Fritz is listed 3" taller than Sinner, and side by side, they look of the same height.
YES!After witnessing Sinner matches for a year now, I've come to the conclusion that Sinner morphs into the height of his opponent for the particular match
Except Alcaraz, he doesn't become 1.72m
On the contrary, I think it is appropriate that Agassi presented the trophy. One sinner congratulated to another sinner.It is criminal they have not got Rog here to present the trophy 20 years since he dismantled Hewitt.

wikipedia has Sinner at 192, so not a very big difference as both are very tall. Considering that not many players at 190+ won more than one Slam, Sinner is in a very small club.Sinner is freakishly tall too... Honestly doesn't look any shorter than Fritz, who's a legit 196 cm.
Great match. Helped millions people with insomnia around the world get proper sleep.-don't let the door..
ZZZZZZZZZZZZWe in the sinner era son!
I think you need a new sport. Tennis isn’t for sure son!ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Like always, just another day in the office of Lleyton the Predictor.@Lleytonstation never wrong, always right
$3.6m for Carrot. $450m for the USTA.$3.6m? wow
Stands along with Rafa’s classic 2018 USO Mugrun. Except Kandy beat Egg at W. Fritz never beat Egg.Congratulations to Sinner, on an incredible run to the USO title….
It’s all about the long gameLike always, just another day in the office of Lleyton the Predictor.
That said, @SinneGOAT @Nuclear Warhead Sinner living their best lives.
I repent.It’s all about the long game![]()

Boring AF. Anyone who watched tennis, pretty much any other era will call this a snoozefest and rightfully so.I think you need a new sport. Tennis isn’t for sure son!![]()
9400 if it hadn’t been for the ban, which is scaryNot much. Here are the 2024 live points so far this year, including Sinner’s win:
Sinner 9000
Zverev 6115
Alcaraz 6010
Wallvedev 4420
Fritz 3890
That’s why you gotta get as many slams as you can, I heard if you have more than 4 you get into tennis heaven.“In the long run we are all dead.” — Tsitsicrates
These are dark times for tennis.Boring AF. Anyone who watched tennis, pretty much any other era will call this a snoozefest and rightfully so.
It's just crazy bad right now. Boring, one-dimensional, fake AF. Look at Sinner's celebration after winning the USO, looks so fake and stupid.
Hoo boy, look where shorty is9400 if it hadn’t been for the ban, which is scary
Tell Stan- stat!That’s why you gotta get as many slams as you can, I heard if you have more than 4 you get into tennis heaven.
The distance between him and shorty will grow bigger. Sinner should be bagging or winning Shanghai, Paris masters and the ATP finalsHoo boy, look where shorty is
Federer won five in a row ('05 USO; '06 AO; '06 USO; '07 AO; '07 USO). The 2006 USO can support a trio in either direction, so does this count as one set of three in a row, or two sets?At the AO, Alcaraz can become the youngest player to win the career slam. However, Sinner can become only the 3rd guy to win 3 straight hard court slam titles(Djoker’s best run was 3 straight; something he did twice).
Unfortunately Stan Wawrinka did not secure the Mandate of Heaven, though his name will ring through eternity…Tell
Tell Stan- stat!
Quite a shot.
Don’t see it happening unless he makes some drastic changes. Sinner should comfortably defend his AO titleThis is getting very interesting now. Alacaraz and Sinner split the 4 slams this year.
At the AO, Alcaraz can become the youngest player to win the career slam. However, Sinner can become only the 3rd guy to win 3 straight hard court slam titles(Djoker’s best run was 3 straight; something he did twice).
I will be pulling for Alcaraz at the AO(unless an American is in the final). That would be a cool record for Alcaraz.
In winning 2024 US Open, Sinner wins his 2nd Slam and 16th title overall (placing him joint 7th in overall titles won by current players along with Gasquet, Rublev, Wawrinka). It his 6th title of the season placing him well clear at the top of the leaderboard for titles won by current players this season (the 2nd, Alcaraz, has won 3). He also becomes:
1. 1 of just 5 active players to have won multiple Slam titles (along with Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz, Wawrinka).
2. Just the 3rd player in the Open Era to win his 1st 2 Slams in the same season (along with Connors 1974, Vilas 1977).
3. Just the 4th player to win both hardcourt Slams in the same season (along with Wilander, Federer, Djokovic).
4. The 1st number #1 ranked player to win the US Open since Nadal in 2017.
5. The 1st Italian man to win the singles title at the US Open.
6. The 2nd Italian player to win the singles title at the US Open (after Pennetta in 2015).
7. The 1st ginger to win the US Open?
8. The 1st ginger to make the final of the US Open since Courier (1991)?
I cant believe how people can diss me and prop current tennis up with a straight face. How do you even do that? How much mental gymnastics do you need to do to genuinely convince yourself that today's tennis is worth watching? Sinner vs Fritz in a US Open? I barely scooped up the energy to watch the Championship point.These are dark times for tennis.
...the middle two generations. Zverev and Dimitrov are not in the same tennis generation. Lost Generation and whatever we're calling the next mostly useless group. At least that group has Med, who could still win a few slams.Yah man, Jannik delivered as anticipated, requiring only cruise control in the main. Winning the title is special, but for the most part, dude did it without needing his best game. Outstanding stuff. Congratulations to Jannik for an excellent year / achievements to date. Taylor had good run, probably the closest he is likely to get to a GS title.
Heh, heh. People playing the violin for the good old days, when tennis was tennis. Sure, they were good times but nothing is more boring / futile than living in the past. Talented kids building careers, watching their progress is interesting, can be fun. How quickly things change, yet in some ways, remain the same. Novak won 3 of the slams in 2023, making only one GS final this year, in which 2 kids aged 23 and 21 share the spoils equally in their young careers. The middle generation left licking its wounds again, no change there.
Yah, man - lazy of me to lump them together, when seeking to differentiate them from the current youngsters. Daniil has potential, I agree, if he can keep it together....the middle two generations. Zverev and Dimitrov are not in the same tennis generation. Lost Generation and whatever we're calling the next mostly useless group. At least that group has Med, who could still win a few slams.
Fritz only found his game in the middle of the third set and had unexpectedly started troubling Sinner to where he was df'ing. I do wonder if he had played like that from the beginning he could have pulled off the impossible with help from the crowd or Sinner would have found a higher gear that Fritz couldn't match, but we won't know.Yeah, Tiafoe would have still lost but IMO we would have seen a more electric match and he would have won a set carried by the crowd.
Generally speaking Tiafoe is just a more creative, less predictable player which gives him more of a shot against the very best than someone like Fritz who's really a solid all-around player but just too predictable for them.
