Yonex's stuff looks top notch. Is that normal with them? I feel like racquet companies have always had a second rate reputation when it comes to clothing compared to Nike/Adidas/Asics etc. but I don't know if that's necessarily true.
It would be very rare for Alcaraz to be able to defeat Big Foe after two very long matches.
Agree, this US Open is far from over
The Barcelona daily double was enough. PCB, despite playing less than half the amount of games in his SF, was basically a spectator in the final after AllThatJazz overcame MP vs AdM earlier the same day.They've both had all their vaccines! Plus lots and lots of boosters!
Carlitos could come back out right now and go another five hours.
He's 2-0, 2-0 versus ruud and khach
Oh this is a really interesting insight thank you for sharing.
How did we all do in the prediction game? I got the winner wrong by one point, but otherwise not too shabby. This match truly could have had any number of outcomes.
Can and will are two different things.
Rafa's serve is better than it looks, I think.
I bought a few Yonex crew shirts during Wawrinka’s peak years. They were quite decent quality, moisture wicking being an important criterion bcoz I live in high humidity Central Florida and wear the shirts while working outdoors. I have no experience with Wilson, Head, Babolat, Dunlop apparel.
He's got so many weapons it's a laughable claim. His movement, serve returns, FH, mental toughness, quickness/court coverage are all weapons.

What he does excellent: BH, volleys, dropshots, transitioning to net, TS lobs, creativity.
He's about to be the youngest ATP #1 by over a year at 19 years, 6 months.
To state he has no weapons and merely chases balls defending is ridiculous
Yes, I said CAN and not WILL! My point is that it is disingenuous for people to keep disparaging Carlos when what they really mean is that they want someone else to win!Can and will are two different things.
Alcaraz is not normal, it is obvious, but he is in the development phase and after two brutal matches, especially this last one, the player from Murcia will have to be very effective against the local player in the semifinals if he wants to have a good opportunity to pass the round.
He's the favorite to win it from here, sure. But
Yes. Hewitt is currently at 20 years 268 days.
By far. Hewitt holds the record but he was ancient at age 20, almost 9 months.
Just as easy to use, no stupid url
Alcaraz won. Overcame an early break. Sinner ran on E earlier than Alcaraz. Not an epic af fifth set but it had its moments.
Sinner ceiling, with Cahill on board and seeming to be the long term mentor, is looking unlimited. That’s a very smart man and Jannik was fortunate to be looking for his very particular set of skills at the right time.
Dare I say Energizer Bunny 2.0?
Pre-match photo says 1.83 is a pipe dream. Carlos would need to crane his neck to blow a kiss in Jannik’s ear. I say 1.78 max.Sinner is a mug
Vamos 183 centímetro
The return stood out to me in terms of its power.He's got so many weapons it's a laughable claim. His movement, serve returns, FH, mental toughness, quickness/court coverage are all weapons.

I thought you were a Nadal fan
Thanks. I saw the result, but was looking for a brief recap, which you provided. Thanks!
17 breaks total. Sinner had 7, Alcaraz had 10. Most breaks were more of the earned type rather than conceded. Sinner started very shaky, a hangover from his Ivashka struggles but righted the ship and the DFs dwindled until his legs got heavy late in the fourth and then again in the fifth.
lol. Nice way to put it.
My stats are from Flashscore, a very reputable source. One of them is wrong by a break. Big whoopee! What is undisputedly correct is it was an instant classic with a victory well earned by Alcaraz and most probably the top match of the year.
