WWW 2011 Nadal vs 2024 Sinner at US open

[nolefam_2024]

Who will win?

 

[Third Serve]

We haven’t seen Sinner at this year’s U.S. Open so there’s no real basis to make any kind of argument

Sinner whole year we have seen

US open is not same anyway. It has gone surface change from 2011 from deco turf to laykold which feels faster to me.

Nadal destroys him even with his struggling serve in 2011

 

[SpinWizard]

Nadal's backhand and serve was quite bad in 2011. Although his incredible athleticism, forehand, mental strength will still be enough to handle Sinner 2024.

 

[Third Serve]

Nadal's backhand and serve was quite bad in 2011.

Not the whole year. He served very well for his standards at Wimbledon. The US Open was where it fell off.

 

[RS]

2011 Nadal should have been better at times but he is still getting the better of all other than top tier ATG's. He was still playing at a high level and still had 90% of his physical abilities and ability off the ground.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Nadal would tear him apart lol

Nadal was amazing at start of the year but like Djokovic he tapered off by US open though.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner is just tearing up the competition. Bread sticks and bagels
Only 3 rounds done but he is looking like better player than 2011 Nadal.

 

[tennis_pro]

Sinner would win 1 set at most.

The dude is 23, one-dimensional, a known doper, barely won 1 Slam so far with a mediocre draw, can't beat the only good player of this era (Alcaraz) who isn't 37+ years old and you're putting him against peak Nadal in a Slam?

 

[nolefam_2024]

Sinner will get very less votes today. But he is looking better at least in first 3 rounds. Let's see as he keeps going.

 

[Backspin1183]

2011 Nadal was overall better. Why choose the US Open version when his form was up and down by then, and wasn't serving well? He was better in the first half of the year, which is why I rate 2011 Djokovic so highly, ahead of 2015.

Yes. Nadal us open form was not good.

 

[dapchai]

sinner 3 golden sets

 

[Backspin1183]

Yes. Nadal us open form was not good.

It was good enough to reach the final, and probably would have had 50% chance against Federer if the Swiss had converted one of his MPs.

 

[Sudacafan]

I think Nadal is the safest best, same as in all polls of this sort.

 

[Aabye5]

Probably goes 5.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Going with Jannik Sinner in 5 now.

Total bullying of the field
His game is so powerful on hard courts and has Djokovic like patience. Will make a killing of the field now.

Now we have


What a thrashing in the final.

Tennis evolves so Sinner in 5!

Total bullying of Taylor Swift does not count as impressive.

Nadal bullied a certain Andrew Barron Murray in the USO 2011 SF, maybe you heard of him? .

Murray has such a low impact on the game that Sinner in 1 year won more HC slams than Murray

Nadal did nothing bullying in USO semis.

 

[Racquet_smash]

I'd still take Nadal but it wouldn't be a walk in the park at all. Sinner completely dominated this tournament.

Yes it would be very competitive match either way.

 

[Sport]

Murray has such a low impact on the game that Sinner in 1 year won more HC slams than Murray

Nadal did nothing bullying in USO semis.

Nadal defeated Andy Murray in 4 sets in the USO 2011 SF, only allowing Andy to win 14 games.
Sinner beat Medvedev in 4 sets in the USO 2024 QF, only allowing Daniil to win 13 games.

Saying Sinner bullied Medvedev but Nadal didn't bully Murray when the scores were almost identical is a double standard.

Plus, as much as I respect Daniil as a solid rival, Murray is a superior tennis player. So Nadal beating Murray in 4 at the USO is far more impressive than Sinner beating Medvedev in 4.

 

[xFedal]

sinner might be able to pull it off.

Murray has too many results on grass but don't think he is that far above Medvedev on hard courts.

2011 Nadal wins. At that time, Nadal had a matchup problem with Djokovic (particularly Djokovic punishing Nadal's cross-court forehand to Djokovic's backhand) but Nadal was little different from 2010 apart from that.

Yes and how is that different than sinner 2024. He has as good a backhand as Djokovic then

Would Sinner deal with Nadal's relentless pounding of his backhand? I doubt it.

Why not

Sinner is a patient man with a very stable backhand

 

[daggerman]

Fritz would beat 2011 Nadal

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Ehh probably. Nadal due to the matchup issue. It was tough to play that dude cause of the lefty topspin moonballs. Only Djoker could figure him out on a consistent basis

Sinner can beat Nadal when Nadal slowed down with age though. 2011 was still prime Nadal though

 

[nolefam_2024]

Fritz would beat 2011 Nadal

I don't think so. But would like to at least see the match.

 

[CHillTennis]

Who will win?

Who's better? A guy with 22 slams who competed in the greatest era ever. Or a guy who would be slamless in almost any other era?

Wow...that's a tough one!

 

[CHillTennis]

I take it you weren't watching tennis back then.

Eh Nadal’s serve was much worse in 2011 to the point that it was one of his weakest serving performances in a Slam final… whereas 2010 was probably his best.

Nadal's serve and backhand were a lot better in 2010.

 

[Mustard]

Nadal's serve and backhand were a lot better in 2010.

Are we just talking US Open? Nadal's serve at 2011 Indian Wells was like 2010 US Open.

Nadal would toy with him.

His serve and backhand were nowhere near the level of his performance in 2010.

At 25, Nadal had proven a lot compared to 23-year-old Sinner in his second slam.

That means zero to me since match starts at 0-0-0

Zero legacy points brother.

 

[Mustard]

At 25, Nadal had proven a lot compared to 23-year-old Sinner in his second slam.

At Sinner's current age of just turning 23, Nadal had won 6 majors (4 French Opens, 1 Wimbledon, 1 Australian Open) and his best US Open result was the semi final.

 

[Neptune]

Keep in mind, in HC slams Rafa is only 8-8 against top5 (4-5 when excluding Nole and Fed), and 16-16 against top10 (11-13 when excluding Nole and Fed).

Have you ever heard the expression "paralysis through analysis"?

 

[KingCarlitos]

Sinner wasn‘t tested at USO so we don’t know his true level in comparison to the Big Three.

He was tested you are making up stuff
Medvedev was 5th fav just due to draw but he was top 4 fav.
