I thought the ball was still in the air, but of course there was no way Diego could get to it.

I don’t think so. He has a very pronounced back arch. It must be the reason.I think he walks like that on purpose

I can't recall watching too many matches in Vienna before, but this was must-see TV.

Who has a BRIGHTER future in the long term? Sinner or escape from Alcatraz?

Going out on a limb....Sinner!

Me too. He looks to be more consistent in general.

Alcatraz for me. More variation, better return and better athleticism. The serve is the easiest stroke to improve - the return is the hardest.

Well, the consistency isn't a good measure, I think. Alcaraz is almost two years younger than Sinner.

Be careful how you speak of our viking.
That thing is giving me a headache...almost as much of a headache as Sinner has given Ruud already.
Love, Norway
My apologies.. Forgive me, I find his brand of indoor tennis to be uninspiring (of course, this is because it was learned at the Rafa Nadal academy)Be careful how you speak of our viking.
I was rooting for Aslan

I think there is no doubt Sinner is a better HC player than Ruud. But I still think Ruud is a better tactician. He might find the way. He has already tried different things, and will continue to do so.
EDIT: And there's the break back

Haha, nothing to forgive, amigo!
The best 8 will deserve the spots. No matter who we TT experts prefer

Yes, I've mentioned a couple of times that I think Ruudy is the best at thinking his way through a problem of the NextGen. I suspect he has his father to thank for that.

Yes!
If he's not a punching bag for the rest like Diego was in London last year I'll be happy lol...My apologies.. Forgive me, I find his brand of indoor tennis to be uninspiring (of course, this is because it was learned at the Rafa Nadal academy)

Exactly!
I can see why people might think he is a boring type. But he definitely has decent tactical and mental abilities

Alcaraz is way more talented than Sinner. Alcaraz has pretty much everything without any noticeable flaw. Can’t say the same about Sinner, though he’s pretty damn good as well.

Ruudy played indoor tennis in his home country. They can't play tennis in the snow.
Oh, Aslan...'twas but a dream, I'm afraid. Not as big a dream as FAA's chances (my pick), but still a dream.

I like both, but there's a reason Sinner is higher in the rankings. Alcaraz is improving both ranking and game though everyday. Barring injury, he's top 5 in 2022.

Good resistance by the Ruud Boy, very balanced game. Casper is really risking a lot with his first serve to put pressure on Janni. So far he's winning a surprising amount of second serves...

Much more solid serve game by Casper, just in time...

I don't know about judging talent, but to me Alcaraz seems a step faster to capitalize on net opportunities than other young players I've watched.

Thankfully the sinner serve is good today...
Ruud has a good gameplan.

Between Carlos and Jan an onlooker from a distance would likely think that Carlos is the Elder

He is risking a lot on his first serve. Then again sinner is one of the best receivers and he seems think that it has to go to the margins

That forehand into the net at deuce... I was almost getting ready to celebrate a 40-15 break back. 
Ancic too.

If a top receiver with excellent ball striking starts to serve like that...
Hopefully he can continue to do so...

I love it. The intensity is insane. Both players really want this and are giving everything they have on the court...Sinner takes it!
Pretty high level, although not tennis to everyone's taste

This is high level from both.
