You would favor Alcaraz over Sinner at those fast Miami courts? Sinner has made 2 finals there
Who will win more big titles this season?

Sinner LOVES Miami conditions. They suit his game perfectly. Not sure I can have Raz over him there, despite him being the one to win Miami first.

I think people are underestimating Sinner on clay. With his improved serve and point construction especially I see him going deep in all clay masters except Madrid perhaps (pollen allergy). He could even win a title in Rome/Monte Carlo

Sinner can play on clay, no question, but he does need to start delivering on the surface now.
He had a solid opportunity to win MC last year, but Rune showed to me that he is more of a natural on clay than Sinner. If Rune continues to improve, clay with him and Raz will unquestionably be Sinner's toughest surface, as he is trailing Alcaraz there for sure at this point.
On grass though, I think Sinner will eventually be the top dog. I think his game translates very well on W grass.
Forgot about their semi last year. Maybe edge to sinner then but think Alcaraz figured him out a bit in their previous match, troubled his power game with variety and defence.

Alcaraz figured out Sinner on the absolute best court for Alcaraz....he beat him on the very court in the semis the year before also....and still went onto to lose Miami.

Sinner didn’t serve well in the second or third set and plus the court conditions here suit Sinner more than Alcaraz robbing him time to do drop shots. Sinner can easily turn these fast courts into a backhand to backhand affair which Carlos doesn’t like. And Sinner will win the serve-return battle

Remember, on TT you're goat when you beat Djokovic - but the next time you lose, you are Finnish

Impossible now.
Big titles include Masters. No way our Nole will win more than them.

Miami courts might be a bit faster than indian Wells but reportedly the ball moves slower trough them, balls are slower and they get Big after a Game, they definetly Bounce less but they also Carry less speed, still think this might favour sinner a bit more but not as much as one would think

Sinner will win 3 masters. Alcaraz 3. Sinner will win ATP finals. Who will win more slams? I’m not sure. But Sinner winning 1 already this year puts him at good position

He will win 1 slam max this year

I dunno. I can see a Channel Slam without much squinting. But winning 3 is gonna be tough. He may have already won his last HC Slam but it will be a while before he just cannot get it done on the natural surfaces

Why would you bet against Bull for Roland Garros?

Rafa is a total X factor right now and has been a total non factor for the better part of a year now...if he's not just playing possum I'd say his chances are not great

Maybe Sinner is the hot favourite?

Last year's first half performance is not a way to judge Sinner since he was pathetic before Indoor season. He's in his prime now and if he doesn't show his levels on clay his year then we will worry, before that it's just assumption. his ball striking ability will transcend all courts imo.

Maybe. Probably not, but maybe.
I like the way you think but I personally cannot believe he's dead until I see him rotting.

Lol at people voting Carlos even after seeing Sinner being the main man in first half of season.

I locked the poll so they can’t change their vote and feel bad at the end of the season
