There is no way that Sinner beats 2010 Roger Federer at a grand slam. In fact, I actually think that Sinner would have a very tough time with Roger Federer. Maybe even more so than the other members of the Big 3. Federer could expose Sinner's footwork. In the same way that he did to Roddick.
Sinner 2024 has a better serve, forehand and backhand than Djokovic 2010. Movement is debatable but I don’t see why Sinner 2024 would not be able to win that match.
Not in slams. Maybe 2009 is his worst slam season
He would win a slam.
Yes. 2010 was clearly a worse season than when Djokovic was having to deal with world-beaters like Tsitsipas, Kyrgios, and Theim.
08 Djoko played better than Sinner at every tournament so far except Miami and maybe MC.
not at AO or RG, but wim and USO are winnable
In doubles?
2010 fed struggled w a groin injury iirc at wim - nearly lost to falla in the 1st round and got dumped out meekly by berdych in the quarters - don't see why sinner couldn't do the same
Since when has this forum been right about anything?
He's not beating Nadal in the final of any grand slam in 2010.
He would defeat Nadal on a hard court. He would’ve defeated him in AO 2010 no doubt
I said in the finals. Obviously, I'm not talking about the one slam where Nadal was carrying an injury.
Let’s wait until the end of the season. But I do think he defeats him indoors and majority of the outdoor hardcourt events against the 2010 version of Nadal
I don’t know. Sinner is both holding and breaking serve at a significantly higher clip than 2008 Djokovic. Granted, he hasn’t even played a full half a season quite yet, so it’s not a 1-to-1 comparison, and I do expect Sinner’s hold rate to drop at some point – but I also think it’s reasonable to state that Sinner has a better service and definitely a better return game than 2008 Djokovic. At least on a day-in-day-out basis. I’ll take 08ovic at the Aussie every day and twice on Sundays. But compare his average tournament performance to Sinner’s since he leveled up last fall? I think the Italian has, at the very least, more consistently brought a higher level, even if Novak’s highest level in 08 was just as good if not better.
You had people predicting Fed would win AO 2017 before the draw. Not many, but several. Others correctly predicted Cilic winning the USO, Del Po beating Fed at '09 USO or Stan winning RG in 2015.
Sinner would have gotten absolutely destroyed by Nadal if they faced off at the US Open that year.
Anyone who’s picking Djokovic 2010 clearly doesn’t know much about tennis. Sinner is holding serve at a significantly higher level and returning nautical miles better
Djokovic of the 2010 US Open would beat his veteran version who won last year's US Open.
I was replying to your post about him beating 2010 fed, sinner ain't beating nads in rg wim or USO, although he probably could beat nads at ao
Agreed
28-2
Sinner 2024 is better than every version of Djokovic except 11’ 15’ and maybe 12/13.
Interesting. I saw Novak's RGW% for the year 2008 on hardcourts was "just" 27%, but looks like in the first part of the year (according to UTS) it was a whopping 33%. Which means a pretty big drop off in the second half. Didn't realize it was that high in the equivalent part of the season so I suppose I have to take back my comments on their return games.
