Will Arthur Fils be Alcaraz's biggest rival?

[Tano]

Idk. He’s just won a 500 while sinner and rune have grand slam and masters titles.

Sure fils has probably passed a struggling Rune at the moment. But right now he’s what top 25? He needs more results on hard courts and in bigger tournments. Winning 500 a week after grand slam is meh.

You always have to make the comparison with others for what they have achieved at the same age.
Alcaraz is in another galaxy, but what had Sinner and Rune achieved at Fils' current age?

Joao Fonseca.

Lol!! It's sad that you abandoned Sinner for an overhyped Kid who plays challengers .

The title is fils being alcaraz biggest rival, no?
Well if I look at the eye test : no , he’s not close. I give rune a better chance.
Pretty sure sinner played on the end of year finals too at 18-19 ?

At this point, he has all the ingredients to be one more flashy Frenchman, an heir to three of the four previous New Musketeers. If he can amount to more, it will be awesome. Time is on his side.

 

[thrust]

Will his forehand stand up under pressure? It looks very loose and erratic.

Primarily, I think due to over hitting it in tight situations. Still, he played very well, consistently vs an in form Zverev.

Rune had won four tournaments (including a Masters), plus he beat 4 top 10 players in one tournament (including Djokovic). He also had 3 GS quarters and 2 masters finals. Beat Zverev, Djokovic and Tsitisipas twice, but also beat Sinner, Alcaraz. Was no. 4 in the world.

No.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Just went on one of the most insane title runs in Tokyo including saving championship point!

Yeah it was incredible. Every match was a battle.

Don't jump the gun! What was Fils' greatest win so far? Who was he? Was he even in the top 10? Doubtful!

Zverev in the Hamburg final, when Zverev was eithe ranked #2 or #3

Fils is in his year-3 on Tour with 3 career titles and he was ranked 20th in July of this year, while not being old enough to drink in the State. I think his stock will rise.

Zverev in the Hamburg final, when Zverev was eithe ranked #2 or #3

Oh, Zverev the expert choker! I called it on TTW while he & Taylor were on serve in the 1st set at US!

 

[toby55555]

I was impressed how cool he remained in his SF with Rune on his set point when a shot that set him up for an easy winner at the net was called late as 'out' only to be overruled by the umpire; most players would have gone ballistic.

Yes, but Fritz and Zverev are not that far apart.

 

[I Am Finnish]

@Lleytonstation is his main rival

 

[Aabye5]

Fingers crossed he can have a good run at the AO next year

He better grow a bit if he wants to look me in the eyes. I saw him play once, I literally looked down on him.


I was at the top rows at Indian Wells.

Fonseca will be the greatest rival of Yunchaokete Bu.

Wow, AI is getting better. Soon no one will need to post on TTW.

But it forgot the best part -- mythical peak Tsitsipas, 10 Slams in any other era. Darn, that Alcaraz.
