I would still pick Alcaraz, but definitely could see Sinner getting his groove on the end of the year and definitely capitalized to start this year. As just mentioned in another thread though, he still hasn't felt that top player, favorite pressure and dealt with the full player hype, so that can be distracting and we saw Alcz lay low to end last year and work on some things (still not sure that was planned by his team or just the pressure).

It looks like Sinner has improved many aspects of his game even in the last year - serve, slice, net finishes, physicality etc. Has Alcaraz improved visibly in anything since his USO title 1.5 years ago. Wonder if Sinner is more hard-working to keep improving compared to Alcaraz to whom the game seems to come more easily? Will this make a difference in the long run?

He's been somewhat disappointing, yes, but he's still only 20. I would give him some time and see if he can improve from here. Sinner at his age was only a prospect as well, remember?

The guy is a volatile brat with an interesting game. Couldn't be further from bland unless being a copycat of Nadal like Carlos is your only definition of exciting.

There's the same number of HC and non-HC slams, so that makes it a fair race.

With the rate at which Sinner has improved in the last six months and the rate at which Alcaraz has been getting injured since this thread was created, it makes me wonder if a new poll would get the opposite results.

There are many adjectives to describe Rune, but "bland" doesn't come to mind. He's volatile, bratty, immature, entitled, irritating and spoiled rotten, but neither his game or his personality on court is bland. The personification of bland is Sinner, not Rune.

Sinner will win about 15 more slams or more than Carlos. Why? Carlos will be washed out of the game within 4-5 years due to injuries

Well, my cat's never been wrong and she predicts neither player will get anywhere close to 15 slams. She's never been wrong, incidentally.

That's the things I get to say!!

You get to say he has a nice smile and great legs...
It doesn't come out right if I have to start saying those things.

Sinner is going to have free reigns for at least 5-6 years. He should be able to mop up at least 80-85 percent of them

Why would we pick Nole when he was at 2 slams. That would be stupid.
This race is between two guys who are at similar slam count and similar age.

Your previous prediction regarding slam counts went horribly wrong so be careful lol.

From my observation, Rune lacks the power, from such big a guy. Power is one thing that can't be taught.
