Isn't string technology the main culprit ?

I think so but I just consider that part of the racket.

Med should be on his way back to his suite w/trophy in hand by now.

I was telling my homies who don’t watch tennis that tennis is THEE GREATEST sport to watch a player collapse/choke because it takes hours watching it unfold & it’s beautiful but gut wrenching at the same time

It’s like painting a masterpiece

Death, taxes and Daniil Medvedev choking in a Grand Slam final.

If Sinner wins…players born in the 2000s would have more GS than players born in the 90s

Alcaraz has 2/Sinner would have 1 while Med & Thiem have 1 each

What happened to Med's face ?

Sin Sinner…who got the keys to my bimmer

Med ran out of gas for sure but Sinner didn't quit. Showing signs of life at the end of the 2nd set, although he lost it, was the turning point

 

[Nero Christ]

Sinner can definitely win the majority of hardcourt slams over the next decade…clay & grass will be harder tho

Congrats to young Jannik. Great, high-level match.

Tough loss for Danill. He never really had a terrible stretch in the match; all the hours on the court this tournament just finally caught up with him at the worst possible time..

AO: Djokovic over Zverev
FO: Nadal (if he's healthy. If not, Alcaraz) over Alcaraz
W: Sinner over Djokovic
USO: Alcaraz over....idk

Olympics: Djokovic

AO: Gauff
FO: Iga
W: Jabeur (she's GOT to break through, no?)
USO: Rybakina

Olympic singles: Iga

I'll say this....I think this is THEE last year that Tsitsipas can win a slam because the young kids are COMING: Rune, Sheldon, Ruud, Fils, Alcaraz, Sinner.

Aight so i'm wrong on both winners of the AO and none of them even made the finals

Ehh, not sure. Alcaraz on hardcourt is also hard to beat. Him and Sinner already have a classic match at the USO 2 years ago.

In any case, Alcaraz-Sinner is a rivalry I can live with

 

[malbaker86]

Seen Nadal beat Verdasco and Fed in back to back 5 set 5 hour matches to win the AO in 09

Seen Novak beat Murray and Nadal in back to back 5 set 5 hour matches to win the AO in 12

Sinner

Daniil

Second 2 set lead that Medvedev's blown in an Australian Open final

Congrats to Sinner, he was just joking last year that he couldn't beat Med and now he's beaten him in 3 straight finals
