Easily.

Semifinals would have been more interesting with Alcaraz vs Djoko & Zverev vs Sinner

We're in the Sincaraz era folks. This is the new normal. A washed geriatric is the only other player, half of the top 20 either sucks or is perpetually injured or both. Hope everyone enjoys the faggot PR Heated Rivalry redux for the foreseeable future

>>153186634
I'm not a fan of US players generally but Learner Tien seems like a nuzoomer prodigy who will start upsetting the balance this year. His beatdown of Medvedev and then near beatdown of Zverev clearly had them both rattled

>>153186628
Novaxx clearly paid off Musetti just to get this record off Federer. Musetti even shares the same agent with him. He's so petty

>>153186660
He'd've had it already if y'all hadn't deported him in '22.

>>153186665
He shouldn't have presented false documents to customs. You get deported from any country for doing that. He's lucky he's even allowed to enter the country still.

>>153186660
Yeah Tien is the only one so far who looks promising. If there's going to be an elite few winning everything it really needs to be 3 imo to make it more interesting, then a few that can disrupt the balance sometimes (Murray, Wawrinka)

Nole is the biggest vulture in sports history that's how he'll be remembered.

>>153186716
He was denied entry to Indian Wells 23 and US Open 22 because of his poor health decisions. He's also about to get dumpstered by Sinner later this week and then fake an injury in the second set as he always does to preserve his fragile ego, so enjoy that

Nadal was a fucking warrior and I respect the hell out of him. He never had a "Mickey Mouse" era in his career unlike Fed and Djoker. Certainly the hardest road of the big 3, even if he was a bit of a clay court merchant.

>>153186886
The GOAT can't be a choke artist, that's non-negotiable sorry. 40-15 is just as much of Fraud's legacy as his aesthetics at this point

>>153186923
I still remember watching the AO 2022 final between Nadal and Mevedev, where Nadal came back from 2-0 to win and lost 5kg of body weight from the 5hr 24m match. The match ended at almost 2AM local time. Nadal had to sit down during the trophy ceremony or he was going to fall over. I've never seen anyone fight as hard as Nadal.

>>153186943
There was that period of time before he retired where he was losing matches and was all "now is not the time to give it my all, if I am to die on court it will be at Roland Garros" and then he just lamely rolled over to Zverev in the first round

>>153186886
Not really, pajeets are everywhere online and are especially dedicated to the Fraud cause. The biggest Fred fans I still see in twitter debates are all Indian. For Novaxx, his dedicated NoleFam seem to consist mostly of Balkans although the famous pajeet PavyG is very powerful. Either way, trying to go pajeet for pajeet is a funny but futile exercise

FAGS

Imagine hating the guaranteed Sinncaraz kino we'll get for the next 3-5 years. Do you really want to go back to the weak era we just got out of? A two-man rivalry has always been a lynchpin in tennis history and a guarantor of great matches. Anyone calling Sinncaraz "slop" needs their head adjusted. It's the only guarantee of kino we have in the entire ATP right now. Nothing else, no other player or rivalry, comes even close to guaranteeing the same levels of entertainment. This is the best timeline and best outcome. Cheer up lads seriously

I was lowk vibin with the fit of the tournament but then literally nothing happened since the 3rd round and since then it’s giving flop

>>153187370
True, imagine wanting to see random shitters getting destroyed by Sinner/Grug. But I think people are just clamoring for a few players who can sort of challenge them. There are no Murrays, Wawrinkas, Delpos, or even someone like Tsonga around. It's just the elite 2 that make almost everyone else look like challenger tier players.

>>153187370
exactly, there's still no good second 2nd level like 2000s-2010s but it is a lot better than the 6 years of pre sinnercaz. It'd be perfect with some zoning players who can cause an upset but I'll take this instead of Ruud and Tsitsipas wasting everyone's time making finals.

>>153187370
this but unironically.

>>153187386
The sport needs dominance. We need a champion or champion rivalry to generate great excitement. Example, I was a Rublev Stan and I got so sick of him losing to random ass people that now I actively root against him. I take comfort in the fact that it would take tennis from another planet to shake Grug or Sinner, and in that case I'm watching a real spectacle and probably won't care (later) that they're losing.
>>153187391
A second level of real players would be good. There's some hovering potential in the background. A few more years and there'll be a shake-up, there almost always is.

>>153187404
there should be, but it will be terrible for the sport if we hit another lost gen stage and it takes another generation to produce that. Then you'd be riding on Sinnercaz staying fit and hungry for another decade to save the sport. They'd also get all the main records, but that will happen eventually anyway.

>>153187370
This era is weaker. At least the 2020-24 era had challengers to Djokovic that actually had real talent like Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Nadal and Theim.


This era is dogshit outside of Sinner and Alcaraz. De Manure and Poosetti are the only real challengers under 27 in the top ten are they are clearly never going to be at Zverev/Med level. It makes things dull


Federer/Baldal only lasted a year and a half before the rise of Djokovic which added to the lore of the other two. This Sincaraz shit has gone on for two years with no end in sight. Sinner's game is just as boring as Djoker's. We need a third or fourth HOF talent to make this watchable before the finals. Also, wouldn't hurt having a Del Potro in the mix.

>>153187422
There's no way either Sinner or Alcaraz are touching twenty slams. Sinner has fitness issues and Alcaraz is 6 foot who will fall off after he turns 27. They're both soft and will fold like lawn chairs when a 21/22 year old starts out working them.

>>153187370
Ok, then you're not a tennis fan. You're just a Sincaraz fan lmao. There's no point in watching/caring about tennis when it's solely through the prism of them. The part that made the Big 3 era so great wasn't just the Big 3, it was variety and quality of players all around them that made watching the three of them go through slams fun. I don't enjoy watching Sinner mash his way shitters and Alcaraz do his grug gimmick for the millionth time before dispatching bugs. It's not worth it for the potential of one good match between the two

I watched this incredible Dimitrov/Almagro match from AO 2012 and wondered where the game has gone looking at today's AO. You could find so many of these matches all the time during slams but now most of the players just get injured before they could even attempt to play fun matches

https://youtu.be/FIfetHWINPo

Renember when people thought Rune was gonna be part of the New big 3 with Sinner and Alcaraz

>>153187462
>There's no way either Sinner or Alcaraz are touching twenty slams.

They said the same about Nadal and Djokovic. They said the same about Federer after his 2013 injuries. But yes some of that is inflated because of the meme generation, no reason Sinnercaz can't do it. But I wasn't talking about them specifically, just that eventually someone will set a new record.

>>153187497
>people thought
Rune thought*

>>153187503
Nobody will set a new record because you will need to set it in your 30s and top players will lose their hunger by then. It's almost impossible to replicate the aura of Federer/Nadal/Djokovic again. All three leveled up to out duel each other. It was an arms race. You remove one of them and the other two become complacent. There was definitely hatred towards Djokovic too. His dark energy forced the other two to push themselves well into their 30s cause they both couldn't stand the Djoker. It was a true rivalry.

>>153187391
Ruud was mid but peak Sissy was fun to watch

>>153187391
You mean eight years. 2016 and 17 were shit eras, too. 2016-19 were much worse years than 2020-24. You just don't want to admit that Federer/Nadal vultured slams, too.

What now? Will /atp/ watch San Diego and Quimper challengers until Friday?

>>153187575
tennis kind of dies after the AO for a while desu

>>153187575
Kubmans in the doubles semifinals
Maybe Rinky and Bernie in the San Diego Challenger if I wake up early enough (unlikely)

Alcaraz is the only player who has a shot of getting to 25 slams. Sinner is too old and not fit enough. Alcaraz is playing on another level and has no weak surfaces now. He's 100% focused and locked in. He could pull it off.


The truth is there is only one big one and one Murray level talent. Alcaraz is on the level of big 3.

>>153187584
I am talking about tonight and tomorrow.
I like this part of the season now, clay is arriving

>>153187596
Will be fun to see if Sinner snatches his first big title in the surface this year.
Ruud, Rune, Draper, Rublev, Teitsipas are all finished. He must deliver

>>153187523
Sinnercaz won't lose their hunger if they're battling each other. If you removed one of the big 3 they wouldn't get complacent either, they'd keep battling the other. We saw this and Djokovic still swept the zoomers with both of them gone because there was a target to reach.

>>153187547
I don't think 2016-19 were as pathetic, but that's mostly because you had big 3 there while not at their peak, still excellent for the majority of the time. Plus you had the players who weren't completely pathetic like Wawrinka, Murray, Berdych, Nishikori, Cilic, Thiem etc. So 2020 onwards had a lower level top tier and lower level second tier.

>>153187631
At least Sinner was leading his one

>>153187666
Fucking loser, he will lose AO final to Alcaraz too. You just see

>>153187681
i really hope not.

>>153187644
You only say Med/Zverev/Sissy are lower cause it helps the Djoker is a fraud narrative. All three were highly talented, but could not finish Nadal or Djoker off. Just one time.

>>153187462
>>153187593
>Sinner has fitness issues
Let's remember that Djokovic also had huge fitness issues early on in his career. Not saying Sinner will win as much in his 30s as Djokovic but that fitness thing is definitely fixable to some degree.

>>153187695
Not at Sinner's height and length. Djokovic was 23 years old when he figured it out which makes sense cause that is when you hit your physical peak. Sinner is just tall, goofy bastard. He will break down in his late 20s.

This slam is a must win for Sinner.
If he loses it to Carlos, he will feel deflected, and 4 slams at nearly 25yo just isn't good enough. No one will ever replicate Djokovic in slam titles past 30yo, harder to beat than Rafa 14 in RG.

I think Sinner doesn't reach Sampras number if he loses here.
I see Carlos ending above 20, win or lose here.

>>153187687
I'm saying that because they are. Jesus Christ Medvedev couldn't beat a Nadal who could barely move in that AO final, there's no excuse for that. Zverev has won fewer slam matches against top 10 players than fucking Baghdatis and the closest he came was the worst mens final ever played. They had their moments but they're a step down from the guys who actually beat big 3 before they were old men.

>>153187733
deflated*

What of Djoker's record are untouchable? It has to be his weeks at 1, finals and semi finals appearances in grand slams. The next top talent will need perfect luck and sustained health to have a shot.

>>153187738
Cilic and nishikori barely did anything. Theim won a meme slam. Medvedev, Zverev and Sissy were more talented than them. They were bigger, stronger and just as fluid.

Only chance he has is literally Sinner getting somehow injured, but at that point, I think the police should get involved.

>>153189708
it isn't a big deal. virtually everyone is praising her for how she handled it and diverting to the "why is the AO putting cameras everywhere" narrarive, likely because they're hyperaware of what the good rabbi here >>153189753 brought up.
in Gauff's case, she basically never does shit like this, so the whole thing feels really artificial.

>>153189507
>>153190231
eh it's basically like other anons are saying. not to say it's a good thing but racket smashing is really common in tennis, whether at the pro level, clubs, schools, municipal courts, wherever. the two aces on my high school team were both racket smashers, one of them would sometimes actually break them, strings and all, when he took tough losses in tournaments. but outside of tennis they were genuinely very decent dudes

also in his post-match conference yesterday, the GOAT himself Novak took the side of Gauff when someone asked him about some women players being frustrated at the increasing presence of cameras at AO and the tourney seemingly turning into a reality TV show
>Yeah, I saw I mean with what happened with Coco and her after her match... and look I emphathize with her. I mean I know what it feels like to break a racket and I've done it a few times in my career. So, I know how it is to be frustrated, particularly after a match where you underperform, and I agree with her.
>You know, it's really sad that you know you can't basically move away anywhere and hide and you know, what do you call that... fume out your frustration, your anger, in a way that won't be captured by a camera. But we live in a society in times where content is everything. So it's a deeper discussion.
>You know I guess it's really hard for me to see the trend changing in the opposite direction, meaning we take out cameras. As you see it's only going to be as it is or even more cameras. I mean I'm surprised we don't have cameras while we're taking shower. I mean that's probably the next step. I'm against it. I think there should always be a limit and kind of a borderline where "okay this is our space".

he then goes on to mention the commercial aspect of it and how it's hard for him to see it going backwards, so it's probably just something that we have to accept. though obviously he's against it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOoRC1J2-3o&t=550s

>>153191069
Even GOATs can err. The camera was in a public space, not a locker room. And she didn't break any rule - she showed everyone who she is, not just with the vicious beating but with the lack of accountability afterward. Laugh at it, tell people to eff off, cry, whatever, but don't blame the camera.

>>153191187
Next year at all majors: camera-free tantrum rooms for players to visit between sets or after matches, so the tender viewing public doesn't have to be assaulted by public displays of competition-related emotion. I'm sure Wimbledon is already working on it.

>>153191823
I've been tempted to do it. You're very focused and tense for an hour or something and then you lose and all this frustrating shit needs to go somewhere. Rackets have a convenient handle you're already gripping, and they're your personal property.
I've never actually done it, because 40 euros are a lot of money to me, but a pro can afford to destroy their expensive gear no problem.

>>153191706
>>153191823
it's not for me (I'm more of the Nadal autism type), but Carlos has a good point >>153192398. the top pros probably have zero financial inhibitions about smashing their rackets because to them it's just disposable gear. it's basically like an ordinary person stomping an aluminum can out of anger. most of the racket smashers I've met IRL were from very well-off families so it seems to check out anecdotally

>>153193764
complete embarassment for Sinner if he loses. he'd better hope he can find his serve again after yesterday.

>show me someone else who smashed a racket to that extreme

the first three are beatdowns bashing the racket against the ground multiple times
>AO 2021 vs Zverev
>Rome 2019 vs Nadal
>ATP Cup 2020 vs Medvedev
Djokovic was in his 30s in all of the clips shown (earliest is the one vs Nadal). he did it when he was younger too, e.g. vs Monfils at Davis Cup 2010. makes one question if he's really the GOAT, with that "revolting homicidal like rage"

>>153195382
>I'm revolted. She's a beast. i've smashed a golf club on the ground in frustration,
Why, cause she smashed it more than two or three times? It's the fucking same thing you did. Local club tennis doesn't even approach the same level of stakes as her situation.

Nice. He wins, 8 to Cuckoo's 7. You found the one exception. And he's a man. And he didn't blame cameras. Point stands.

>>153195848

if it's just number of strikes you're looking for, Zverev also did as many

pretty sure this was in ATP Cup 2020, lots of national pride on the line there
also there are multiple instances of players who smashed 3+ rackets in sequence, I remember at least Baghdatis and Bublik in particular

>>153196003
did any of them blame cameras or did they do what any of us would do and admit the obvious, that we were pissed?

Those were on court where there is no expectation of privacy. Very different scenario. A few others have come out in agreement with her about privacy. Its obvious she was pissed but she's explaining why she tried to hide it - it's bad representation. She wasn't able to which leads her to bring up privacy. Not sure what your hang up here is.
Plus, no one that initially responded to you thought it was a big deal either. So yeah, BTFO.

For me it's England, Draper wins RG 2027

I see 3.20 for Zverev and I think it's easy money, what do you think?

Alcaraz looks pretty strong.
I don't think it's a good enough odd.

>>153197550
I don't know dude, I watched all his games so far and I think the german got thiis, but I will wait I guess
My guess is Sinner faces Zverev in the finals and Sinner wins.

Reminder Dan Evans had match point on Stan earlier in that tournament. 1 point away from that tournament being a complete disaster.

Nah, Zverev has been playing real nice. Beat Cerundolo like he was a girlfriend and then, even though Tien took a set, the QF match wasn't even close. I think Sasha will make it hard. 5 setter for sure.

I'm also saying right now that Sinner will have two easy sets before his liver mysteriously explodes.

I agree, but he's still Zverev so he'll probably choke a set he should have won and still lose in 4 anyway. He shouldn't even have gone to 4 vs Tien.

Fake news. Even healthcare workers don't need to be vaccinated.

I think the better bet is to predict whether Djokovic gets bageled or breadsticked in one of the sets

>/atp/ when it's the 120122th Sinncaraz final

No it's not "good for the sport". It's like every every cup final in football being Real Madrid vs Bayern München, 7 times per year.

The problem is the parity in top 20 ATP is so ass even if Sinnlingz or Alcabab are having a shit day and KWABing hard they will still win because the likes of FAA and Demonhour can't utilize it. Just one time I wish Sinner and Alcaraz both called in sick to a slam so we could get a Zverev - Fritz final or something.

Prime John Isner would be rank 3 if he played today in the KWAB era.

>>153199186
Absolutely grim. I've noticed we haven't had many 5 setters deep into slams lately but I didn't realize it was this bad. I think AO 26 specifically has some of the shortest average match time in long time.

>>153199194
They've played 3 finals (soon to be 4). I don't think it's that tiring yet. I would save my complaining for some time next year if it still looks like they'll easily waltz into every final. It's also hard to imagine something like Fritz vs Zverev being much better because we've all seen the level of tennis displayed at USO 2020. Even more grim was it when someone like Ruud was shitting up finals with his presence.

>>153199194
>120122th Sinncaraz final
calm down

Is there a realistic prospect that can become a real challenge to Sincaraz in the next few years? Fonseca's clearly not it.

>>153199194
Nah, they can keep winning until one or multiple players get good enough to join them. Hoping they both can't play so we get mickey mouse slams no one takes seriously is the worst possible outcome.

>>153199334
It's Fonseca. Give him time.

>>153199297

You're funny. Sick in the head and evil, but funny.

>>153199405
Fonseca's back is snapped up. Tien is showing promise, but it's most likely he'll be a perennial challenger like Zverev than an actual threat to the new two. I've got a couple sleepers I'm hoping become regulars like Wu and Shang, but nobody on tour shows any signs of a significant breakthrough.
