Go rewatch the Sinner match m8. He played aggressively in that one. Absolutely not even close tonight. And his serve was much worse as well.

>>153234439

>>153234535
Scary to consider this might be carlos’ weakest surface

How long until they start getting Rafa to hand over the trophy at RG

So is it over for Novak? Will he ever reach another slam final? Is 25 only a dream?

>>153234518
The entirety of the *2 generations* of players after Federer/Nadal/Djokovic have been mind broken into not believing they can win and Sinner/Alcaraz are just the first ones to have the mental to preserve

>>153234526
You'd think so, but no, not really

>>153234505
Smart, call the guy he just beat a goat to make us all think

3-0, I leave the Djokohoes alone now, they have a lot to seethe and cope about

>>153234535
He can't, Alcaraz will beat him every single time he decides to not be a bozo

>>153234549
This had to be his best chance. Wimbledon isn't impossible, but this was far and away the most likely he's gonna have

Djokovic and Alcaraz dislike each other. Don't get that vibe with Sinner-Alcaraz or Djokovic-Sinner.

>>153234524
The semis were definitely better.

>>153234543
he's too good. i don't particularly care for sinner but it would be much more interesting if they're at least close in majors

Sinner's too pecho frio to compete. Carlos is going to win at least 2 gs per year. he will pass Novak before turning 30.

>>153234524
>His sports literacy stops at stat sheets
Yikes! Both Djokovic and Alcaraz were at a very high level tonight. Sorry you missed it!

>>153234568
Yeah. Alcaraz-Zverev felt like a final. This felt more like an exhibition match after the first set

>>153234543
It really is, he can just camp baseline like Nadal on clay and increase the variety in his shots during Wimbledon, he's pretty much the only guy who you can honestly say can adapt his play style to the surfaces

>>153234549
needs luck again.
if he gets to skip a lot of time on the court again, or can skip playing carlos or jannik or both, he has a chance.

otherwise no chance for 25

>>153234574
Who will stop him? His pigeon Novak? Choker Zverev?? Sinner the chicken that lost a senior???

>>153234582
lmao what match were you watching? Chokovic had a great first set then turned to shit for the next 2 and was barely holding on in the 4th. Nadal remains the GOAT

>>153234574
he actually might

>>153234389
He simply didn't have a time for recovery like he did vs Carrot as he's geriatric patient

>>153234577
Spanish people look different from other euros, to be honest.

>>153234545
How long until they retire Philippe-Chatrier as the primary court and build a 20,000 seat "Rafael Nadal Court"?

>>153234574
if you mean this year it's too early to say, but he will do it at some point

>>153234593
Hey man, I get it! When you're not familiar with what you're watching, the stat line looks Alcaraz dominated, but if you actually watched the points,.you'd have seen some really thrilling back and forth games. Keep watching and it'll start to click in a few years.

Alcaraz on track for GOAThood

>>153234574
nah sinny is upping his closty dose and taking RG

Unironically which of the zoomies has a chance of winning a grand slam? I can't see anyone beating Jannik and Grug

>>153234589
Sinner just has NO.hear conditioning. Curse of being a Red Head. I think AO is going to be the toughest major for him over his career. I expect him to be much more competitive at Wimbledon

>>153234600
It'll be a cold day in hell before the French name something after a non-Frenchman
Phil had a laughably horrible record as a tennis player but they haven't changed it yet

>>153234600
he ain't french, the frogs are cucked, but they ain't relegating a countryman just for Nadal, the footprint is enough

Carlos' biggest weakness is having his level of play drop to top-15ish levels randomly in some of the earlier round games. I think he's mitigated it a lot more since last year though, other than that he's pretty much a final shoe-in to all the slams. Best of 3 matches on M1000s still some times catch off guard though,

>>153234619
>new 2 both getting the career slam in one year
Kino?

AlcaGOAT

>>153234627
I mean they built a fucking statue of the guy *while he was still actively playing there*. I get what you're saying, but no player has ever been associated with a tournament like Nadal and the French. Dude was 105-3 career all time or whatever? I think they can't NOT do it

>>153234618
He's going to break before.

so is ferrero really never coming back? kinda fucked up since he coached carlos from the start

>>153234625
Shelton has the best shot at challenging this era's big three. Mensik and Fonseca are talented but would need more things going their way.

>>153234646
Cope. He’s only getting better.

>>153234645
Their argument will be that the statue is enough
Nadal does have a court named after him in Spain though, obviously

>>153234632
it's kinda nuts that you can't even point to a technical flaw in his game, he's that complete

>>153234656
I'd love to see Ben win a major or two. And not that he ever will, but I've been pulling for Tiafoe for a couple years now. He's clearly a tier below, but he's a really likeable dude.

Alcaraz proving he's the actual boss on HCs. Sinner's nothing more than a glorified mentally weak vulture who feasted on weak HC Slams before Alcara got into his prime on HC.

>>153234656
>Shelton
Lol, lmao

>>153234663
Completely believable. I personally think they eventually do, but I would not be surprised if you're correct.

>>153234645

He already has one named after him in Barcelona.
A court named after him at Roland Garros is too much. Statue +plaque is the limit. More would feel forced

We've really lost perspective over the last 20 years, haven't we? It's difficult to understand how insane that is. Nothing close to that will ever, EVER, happen again. If they don't name a court after Nadal, it's difficult to imagine any future court ever being named for a former player ever again.

>>153234662
Agressive playstyles have a big toll.

>>153234690
No Spaniard is getting a court named after him in fucking Paris of all places. Just like Belgrade is not naming its main town square after Mehmed II or Ante Pavelic.

>>153234690
Absolutely agree, the shoeprint is not iconic at all, just feels like such a token effort with no actual respect in it

>>153234690
100%
Should have been a court, the print is stupid as hell.

>>153234667
Agreed and it’s improving quickly. His use of slice was deadly at times today and that wasn’t a shot he even had not long ago.

>>153234656
>Shelton
big serve with even less rally tolerance than Zverev, he's just gonna vulture any ATP title where Sincaraz doesn't play, so 500s/250s and the occasional Masters

>Fonseca
barely even 20 and already so brittle physically, he will never reach his potential from the looks of it he continues to get injured

>Mensik
probably the closest to them but still too early to tell unless he improves massively this year

My money's more on Tien to make that leap in a couple of years

>>153234701
i guess you're right, i was just looking at it from the perspective that less is more

improving gradually but still doesn't have anywhere near the rally tolerance to win against Sinncaraz on surfaces where he has to actually play a point. and seems like too much of a broccolihead to develop good tactical sense. main chance at a slam will probably be to snatch a random Wimbledon or AO when Grug/Sinner have a lapse in their level, or are injured
>Mensik
has the tools + potential but not refined and consistent enough, might start contending in a few years
>Fonseca
has some big weapons but movement + raw athleticism isn't great, and elite court coverage is an absolute requirement for a consistent top player. though he's very young so has plenty of time to improve, too early to conclude anything yet

>>153234718
>Tien
likely going to have the Davydenko issue where the low-powered serve is a liability against elite returners, even with good placement, so he's always having to play catch-up on the numbers. if he reaches his maximum potential, maybe he could contest RG or USO, but barring some technical breakthrough seems more likely that he just becomes a staple 4R-SF type of player

>>153235071

>>153235023
I wasn't able to see the Zverev semi live, but knowing he was up 5-3 in the fifth AND serving for the match makes me even more seething mad.

I don't care about the grand slams anymore. Meme tournaments. Clown brackets. Bring on Montpellier and Dallas. Get me out of this hell.

could it be better for sinner that he lost in the semis rather than losing another hard court final to alcaraz? this was bad as well because people will mock him for losing to a grandpa but wouldn't it hurt more to lose to your rival for the next 15 years (on his worst surface)

This was probably worse than the 5th set choke. You have to put away a player who literally cannot move instead of hitting it down the middle to them and edging them in a tiebreak. At least zverev was aware of that in his press conference. Yet another fucking retarded performance from him in a big match.

Novaxx’s family faked his age to be older to get extra Marshall plan bux in the 90s (or rather they had a fake child, then when they started investigating they had to have a real one to take the place of the paper one). Chokobitch was faking injuries before he was even born.

Have you seen those pictures of him when he is “5”? He looks like a toddler. That’s why.

>>153242954
We all know the equation. It will be two people split between four slams every single year instead of three...

Alcaraz and Sinner should end their careers with around 30 slams each unless new talent emerged. They should get around 2 each per year for say 10 to 15 years.

just hafta pray alcroth does what mats wilander did and win 7 slams by 22 and never win anyfing agen

Why do people think Carlos is going to break Novaks record? Theres no way he can keep this level of play up in his 30s like Novak did. You're all going to look stupid when he flames out like all the other pretenders to Novaks throne

Sir, this is /atp/

Lmao.

>>153246390
USO with 5 from 2003-2021 but only 1* from 1968-2002.

*and that 1 was played on clay.

>>153235657
Not even 40 and he's FRIED
Grim

>>153241014
He was below par all match but still should've won. That 5th set is up there with Fed's hall of fame chokes except probably worse because it was against a senior citizen.

I'm starting to think Sinner isn't actually that good. USO he was poor as well against Shapo and FAA. I thought he'd raise his level in the final but Alcaraz was toying with him. Maybe he'll just be the clear #2 and main challenger without it being a true big 2. I hope not.

>>153246390
Boggles how in the 90s you could be “the king of clay” and make it past the 4th round of the French ONCE in 7 years


The 90s sucked yall

>>153235328
>He was 5-2 up in third set and somehow took it to tiebreak against an immobile alcaraz.
It was the 2nd set he was up 5-2 and lost. Alcaraz then started struggling late in the 3rd when he was up 2 sets. If Zverev closed out that set, he could've finished it in 4 before Alcaraz got his legs back in the 5th set. Match would've been 2 hours shorter (40 minutes kwabbing the 2nd + 80 minute 5th set) and he would've had a decent chance in the final.

>>153246576
>would've had a decent chance in the final
No not Zverev, he would choke. Like always does

>>153246555
Nadal conquered the most difficult Slam, it's the only record that isn't reachable for Alcaraz

>>153246602
Probably true but he would've put himself in a position to choke it. It wouldn't have been a routine Djokovic win.

Word on the street is that Novak won't play Roland Garros.

>>153244614
Not even hating, Spasticovic. It's admirable how hard Genocidovic is fighting at 38 but that just shows GOATerer's greatness when he had >40-15 Championship points against a still prime Novaxx at age 37/38. 6 years age difference and from a different era of smaller racket heads, grips and a one handed backhand

>>153246390
Nothing will ever top this moment. Probably why Novaxx fired him knowing he'll never be universally loved as Goran

>>153246848
It's his best chance to win a Slam, so very doubtful he's missing it. At Wimbledon he has no chance against Alcaraz, he already beat his ass two times there. RG is the only Slam, Djokovic didn't lose to him

>>153246872
Goran deserved to win this tbqh. He fought so hard for so many years and got a storybook ending for his efforts. I like to think his years of injuries and failures on tour were healed at the Wimbledon trophy ceremony.

Grug has pulled out of Rotterdam, maybe he's trying to dodge Sinner on indoor hard to maintain his air of invincibility

>>153246885
>It's his best chance to win a Slam
No fucking way, clay demands extended rallies and grinding which is precisely his biggest weakness right now. Wimbledon on the other hand allows for much shorter points and running on grass is easier on the knees, which is exactly why Fed continued to excel there with his attacking tennis

still can't believe swissflag was right all along

>>153246929
I see you never played tennis, grass is much worse for the knees, because of having to bend to get to low bounce balls.
Federer was better on grass, because he has a great serve, espically slice serve.

They wouldn't when they could shill for the caveman instead. The Grug glazers know no end to their slopping.

Also when the fuck is Montpellier streaming? It was supposed to begin 30 minutes ago. The one match playing (Humbert/Martin v Frantzen/Haase) isn't even being broadcast live.

against Berrettini at the AO 2022

>>153248228
They didn't take that long, for the two sets they played

Why does this week only have an atp250 and nothing else?
Very unusual

>>153248916
Most likely because of Davis Cup qualifiers even though it's a dead tournament. A one handed backhander is playing now though, O'Connell.

>>153248877
Mensik has a lot of points to defend in Miami

no chance at MC, that one's just a nice excuse to visit home as usual. Miami seems like it'd be his best shot, especially if he plays anywhere like he did in AO SF. hope the event is good this year, always get a bit sad remembering the old venue

Bautista is controlling the court so well right now

Kinda lazy way to give up a double break opportunity

>The tennis pay row has escalated further with the world’s top 10 male and female players rejecting an offer from the grand slams to set up a player council that would give them a greater say in the running of the major championships.

Tennis is so kino
All they ever do is demand more money and want nothing else lol
Play less games? lower uniform restrictions? have more say in when tournaments happen? Nope. Just more money. They don't care about anything else and have zero desire to influence it in any way. Just more money.

Nice pick up on that backhand

nice winner to get the break back.
Bautista hits the flattest ever from a Spaniard,

What a dig from the backhand, straight up the line. O'Connell is imploding

>>153249362
Neat that the courts are still in use. Would have thought they had redeveloped it all by now.

I was expecting a snoozer but these boys are doing pretty good.

When will the carpet courts return. Those courts were kino
