With his new ATG level serve Sinner is set to have one of the greatest years ever in 2026. He is going to win all remaining majors.

I truly believe we are about to witness one of the greatest seasons ever. The biggest reason Sinner has struggled against Alcaraz in the previous years was his inconsistent serve. Now Sinners serve has reached much higher level. He is serving better than prime Federer. All the stats and eye test back it up. Even if Alcaraz brings the level from the last year it wont be enough to stop Sinner. Alcaraz is not close to Nadal to be a lock for RG. We have seen Alcaraz struggling at RG every year. He won 2 RGs but he never looked unbeatable or even great in these finals. In fact his last 2 RG finals where underwhelming. He was 2-1 sets down against Zverev in 2024 and in the 2025 final Sinner had 3 MPs and game to serve out the match. Now that Sinner has not just fixed but greatly improved his serve he will start to dominate Alcaraz. Dont be surprised if Sinner is 6-0 or 8-1 against Alcaraz this year.

Sinner has a way of shrinking like a violet in big matches especially when they become physical. I can’t believe anyone is silly enough to actually believe Sinner would begin “dominating Alcaraz”, the same way it was incredibly silly to believe in Alcaraz dominating Sinner after he won AO. It’s downright stupidity. Sport does not work that way whatsoever and both are too talented and driven to let domination happen.

This will be a duopoly like Evert and Martina. I have never been more confident in that idea.

At the slams level, Alcaraz is dominating Sinner. It is not Evert-Martina, it is Peter - Andre.

Sinner is the pigeon of Alcaraz in slam matches, especially matches that go 3 hours 50 minutes plus.
 
Yeah its hard to believe in Sinner at the Slams long-term, 6-11 in 5-setters, and got extremely lucky in the Dimitrov match at Wimbledon.
And players tend to get worse at dealing with pressure as they get older, because the more you think, the more doubts you have...
Old people think too much, and that leads to nervousness.

Disagree. Sinner was 3 MPs from going 2-1 in Slams vs Carlos last year. There is no domination going on

Sinner has become an expert at losing all the biggest points vs. rivals, as he did with Djokovic at the AO too.
Its no coincidence, clutchness is what separated Michael Jordan from Karl Malone in the 1997 Finals and 1998 Finals.
Jordan made the game-winners in both series (Game 1 in 1997, Game 6 in 1998) while Karl Malone made none.

A much better team and coach is what separated Jordan from Malone more than anything. Sloan ran two plays and was the most predictable coach of all time. Stockton wouldn’t ever shoot. It was easy for Chicago to zone in on the one action Malone got. The triangle was far superior and Scottie was much better than Stockton.

And yet, if we swap Malone's brain with Jordan's brain then Jordan misses the Game 6 shot (btw Jordan stole the ball from Malone just before that, too), then they go to Game 7 in Utah again and the now mentally superior Malone wins that too.
BTW, Pippen only averaged 15.7 points and 4.8 assists in that series, and only played 25 minutes for 8 points in Game 6. Can't rely on Pippen OR Stockton in the big games, plus Pippen was injured.

This is just nonsense. Scottie was monstrous in the 1997 finals, crucial in all aspects, and if you remember it was Kerr who hit the clutch shot anyway. 1998 he was hurt so definitely worse. But even then, Scottie could also switch onto Malone and often did defend him which is a huge defensive impact. Stockton got steals but didn’t impact the game defensively at all because Chicago didn’t play with a traditional smaller PG. Thus Stockton was neutralized completely… his shooting hesitance allowed Chicago to not have to send aggressive help on him and his defense was not impactful. If the argument is Jordan is better than Malone that’s obvious and not worth debating, but Jordan’s team context and coaching were also better too, it didn’t “just” come down to Jordan vs. Malone like some weird hero vs hero fantasy. It almost never does in basketball.

The fact that Sinner can be on MP and still Carlos could return from there to win speaks of the hold Carlos has over Sinner.

Tennis is not about reaching MPs and then saying see I have a high level, it is more about winning. With Fed-Djoko we give Fed a pass for all those chokes because of the 6 years age gap because we know if their ages were same then it would not go 5 sets to enforce that choke, Fed would win quickly.... but in Sinner-Raz case they are of the same age, so reaching MP and losing is proof of pigeonhood.

Jordan hit the "game-winner" in Game 1 of the 1997 Finals,
and Karl Malone missed 2 free-throws in the possession before that.

Jordan hit the "game-winner" in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals,
and Karl Malone lost the ball in the possession before that (Jordan stole it).

The Kerr shot that you are referring to was Game 6 of the 1997 Finals.

And Pippen was HOPELESS in the 1998 Finals, and you know it, and that's what I was referring too.... hence you deflected to the 1997 Finals.

BTW, you claimed I sad "Jordan was the only good player to exist and not the beneficiary of amazing teammates and coaches" and you also claimed I said "There’s no way to argue Stockton was superior to Pippen in either finals, even 1998".
You are wrong again, because THE ONLY thing I said about Stockton was "Can't rely on Pippen OR Stockton in the big games, plus Pippen was injured".
And I NEVER said anything about Jordan being the only good player, you CAN'T READ.

Of course, Sinner has defeated Alcaraz dozens of times just in 3 months.

Yeah, like he won AO, right? It's Sinner the master mug beater, weak era hoarder flop etc. He'll find a way to fail at the most important junctions.

Stockton averaged fewer than 10 PPG in 1998 and was a huge negative on court via plus-minus in 1997 and 1998. It’s hilarious to say I’m deflecting when you’re just pushing this Jordan ball-sucking narrative as if he was the only good player to exist and not the beneficiary of amazing teammates and coaches.

There’s no way to argue Stockton was superior to Pippen in either finals, even 1998. Stockton was garbage in 1998 and couldn’t play against the Bulls
 
Do you fancy yourself a Gambler who likes to places bets on this sort of thing? If so I would imagine you'd be totally bankrupt by now, and we could see you pushing a shopping cart down the street, full of empty bottles and cans that you're returning to the bottle depot, just to scrounge up anough nickels to buy another scratch ticket.

Lol this is the screenshot of me winning a bet from Alcaraz vs Korda match. While the casuals like you put Alcaraz on the pedestal i actually pay attention to his matches and performences. And what i see is huge bag of flaws that can get exposed anytime and against anyone. When i say Alcaraz is overrated i really mean it. This was the easiest 150 bucks i have ever won. The irony in all of this is that while i criticize Alcaraz (rightfully) on here he is the one who makes me win some money and not Sinner. And I will keep winning more. Why? Because all the casuals like you make him huge favourite for every match lol. God i love Alcaraz and his fans. What would i do without them.

Jazz-Bulls. I'll admit I stopped watching because MJ always made great plays in the closing minutes (buckets, steals, assist), he was too clutch, and Rodman was in Malone's head.

Sinner is absolutely gunning for both FO and W.

Dude, Alcaraz has won 89% of his matches so far this year. He won 89% of his matches last year. A guy who is defeated just one out of every ten times he steps on court is obviously going to be a sizable favorite against most players. Congrats on predicting the Korda upset (or betting against Alcaraz all the time and finally getting one right here?), but that doesn’t change the fact that Alcaraz was, and will be the next time they meet, a heavy favorite to defeat the inconsistent Korda.
