Will Sinner win a major in 24!?

Only problem with this analysis is that there will not be any Djokovic in the draws under age 37. Some lucky dog’s gotta win some of these.

Yes. Window is opening up.

Sinner is third favorite at AO
Not a top five in RG.
Very distant third favorite in Wimby

If not this year a slam win, he will probably make slam finals. And with some fateful events, he can win a slam this year. But not a lock.

De Silva was a very powerful batsman, he is still rated by Sangakkara and Jayawardene as the best Sri Lankan Batman of all time and he was their role model. In the 1996 world cup De Silva singlehandedly stopped Australia (the favourites) from winning the world cup in the final, the way he batted on that pitch nobody could have batted. I have very faint memories of watching cricket back then, didnt undestand what was going on as I was too young.

Ranatunga was a very powerful leader .... he stood firm when Aussie umpire no balled Murali and banned him.... Ranatunga backed his player like nobody else would.... Iron Willed Leader.

Dude I was in middle school during that infamous semis at Eden Gardens. At 10/3 we were delirious having gotten rid of Jaya! But damm De Silva did a number on us. I was still hopeful as 260 was chase able with SRT in his prime and really killing it that tourney. God damm that run out/stumping and the collapse..wtf..still remember it like yday.

Yes, aware Mahela and Sanga rate De Silva higher. There’s a hook six of Brett Lee (in his first few outings) that shows his range.

And yet tsitsipas has zero slams.

Sinner shouldn't be compared with tsitsipas and Zverev. The absolute minimum comparison is vs Medvedev who is past world number 1 and slam champion.

I’m sure Sinner 2024 will have a bigger season than Medvedev’s 2021

Medvedev in 2021 won a slam, and made a slam finals. Won a masters and made finals of ATP finals and another masters.

He went 63-13 with 4 titles.

If sinner outperforms him, he will be world number 2.

I’m sure sinner will outmatch 63-13 quite easily

I have him for 7 titles - A slam win , 3 masters, ATP finals and 3 500s

It's a great loss, he was one of his kind and TTW still mourn this loss. Bring back absolute legend back on ttw . Mods please hear us.

Why was he banned? I remember reading his posts nothing controversial - I mean there’s a bunch of one note idiotic posters that would warrant a ban any day on here. And are bans permanent? That’s a bit ridiculous. Even society allows rehabilitation

If he goes over 85% win rate in 2024 which seems possible given how much he has improved those results are very achievable

A good news for him is Nole will play even less this year. He has Olympics set as his target. In 2016 Olympics year Raonic ended in top 3.

Reasoning behind my oredictions

1. Slam win - either WB or USO

2. 3 masters - Miami, Canada/Cincy, Shanghai/Paris

3. ATP finals - he will beat Nole I’m 100% positive he’ll beat 37 year old Nole

4. 3 500s - Easy Rotterdam, Halle and Beijing/Vienna

I don't think so, Medvedev is clearly above him. How can you put a player who has reached only 1 slam semifinal with ATP 250 draw above a player with a slam and 4 finals on hard? Just because he was tired by the end of last season? I would also put Medvedev above Alcaraz.
 
Come back to me when he has:
1. Played a competitive major semi-final.
2. Beaten somebody actually good (please don't say Zod or pre slam winning Carlos) in a major.
3. Made a major final.

Sinner beat him 3 times. It was 3/3. No coincidence.

It's not only sinner. Medvedev last title was in Rome. Sinner won 3 titles post that and Davis cup.

Alcaraz beat Medvedev in Turin where conditions favored Medvedev a lot.

Medvedev is solid player but he is rightfully behind Djokovic and Alcaraz. He is barely behind sinner at 4th.

Wow, this forum in its hatred of Medvedev lives in its own reality. I repeat once again, Medvedev was clearly tired at the end of the season, he said so herself. Look at his results on hard at the beginning of last season. And look at the win over Alcaraz at USO.

Agreed on Arjuna. He and Warne traded fat insults..LOL.. can’t make that **** up.. not a Murali fan (prefer Warne over him) but I agree Arjuna stood up for him like no other.

I have a soft spot for Mad lad. Count me in as a supporter. I mean if I root for Djokovic who gets vilified often, I can support Med too …LOL..

Despite watching very little of those two (i too was very young back then) i absolutely love them as players and most importantly, winners! Sanga was a run machine but he had never interested me like Sanath or even Mahela, a fine touch player. Aravinda was like a hybrid between all three, the explosiveness, the touch and the skill to faceoff against pace bowlers of any kind. I was glad to see his innings get a mention after Travis Head's similar knock in the world cup final.

His off spin was also fun. Seemed so harmless but he used to get crucial break throughs in the middle overs sometimes of set batsmen. I believe Akram had a high opinion of him and that’s all I need to know.
 
Djokovic_is_the_best#1 said:
With a good draw he can win either HC slam or Wimbledon. The draw is crucial for him. Not saying he will but he’s in the conversation.

It would help him if he in the top 2 rankings as chances are he can get an even better draw.

He’s getting to top two this year. I do think his game is stronger on faster surfaces than Carlos. Id be surprised if he isn’t ranked number 2 by the USO. That would greatly help him

He will be checking all those boxes my friend and he will be winning big next year.

Yeah Sanga is a more clinical runmaker than anyone before him, he is a bit boring like Djoker in Tennis but as effective, in his later years he was more consistent than anyone, did not show any signs of big decline. Head's was a similar knock, agree but De Silva's was a bit tougher knock IMO. Cricket 27 years ago was different from now, in those days 240-250 was a match winning total while the same today is a very average knock. In the 2023 World Cup final credit to bowlers Starc-Cummins-Hazlewood for restricting the Indian batting to a low total, today's 340+ would be like 240+ of 1996 I think so. If India had put 340 on board then it would have been much harder for Travis Head though he probably would have chased that too along with his teammates since Glenn Maxwell was still to come.

Murali is the greatest matchwinner ever for Sri Lanka and so in hindsight Arjuna did a big deal supporting a youngsters by giving him confidence. Great captain, very tough mentally, among the greatest captains ever in cricket. Arjuna for Sri Lanka and Clive Lloyd for West Indies were and will remain the best captain these countries ever had, forged their strongest teams under adverse conditions.

Yeah the modern game is not my taste. Except for ODI WC and tests between the top 4/5 nations I don’t follow much. My cricket ended with SRT and the rise of T20 which I loathe. I refuse to watch t20 (don’t think I have ever watched a full game) and what’s become of cricket in a bid to spread and modernize the game. I guess I am old school clinging onto the past. Yes 300 is the new 200/225 and the rules have become loaded in favor of batsmen as well. ODI is actually an unnecessary form right now, long past its expiry date. I was in India during the KO stages of the WC and predicted the final result, felt the team peaked a bit too early while the Aussies peaked gradually.

I understand Murali’s place in SL and World Cricket, just saying I enjoy Warne outworking a batsman more with his variations, especially the useless English batsmen.
