Only caught the last set - some incredible tennis played by both.

Peak tennis is up there with anything to watch live.

Playoff baseball 9th inning
4th quarter nba finals clinching games
Football 2 minute drives in playoffs
Stanley cup hockey OT

I'd put an elite tennis final up there with anything, maybe #1

Good luck to the rest of the field for the next decade or more. Someone may come along in the next five years or so, but Alcaraz and Sinner are a CLEAR couple of tiers about the rest.

Baring injury, they should be facing off for MANY more majors. Only way they aren't in many more is injuries or if Alcaraz just has a day full one boneheaded plays.

One of the best matches I've ever seen, and tennis is in EXCELLENT hands with these two as the face of men's tennis, and Coco becoming a/the face of women's tennis.

i'm hopeful for Ben Shelton after what I saw in this tournament but then i realized he's the same age as Alcaraz breh been lapped already

Keep in mind that this is a surface Alcaraz is supposed to be better on.

Sinner will be out for blood come Wimbledon and the U.S. Open/

Not saying he's going to definitely win one or both, but it would not be a surprise.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

devastating for Sinner (looking at his reaction)

Nadal like clay season for Young Lito

Shelton has talent. He has a great serve and is athletic, but Alcaraz and Sinner are on another level. This was just an amazing match. Unreal.

 

[BucciMane]

And, even though Sinner had triple Championship point and lost, I'm not considering this a choke. If it was against ANYONE other than Alcaraz or Djokovic, I'd say it was, but sometimes there's nothing you can do.

I give him just as much credit for not folding after that as I do Alcaraz coming back.

Ben has the best chance to win a major for the active American men, give him time, he's nowhere near a finished product.

If I was sinner I’d be crying

 

[King Static X]

They give the runner-up a metallic silver plate?

 

[Copy Ninja]

They give the runner up a baking sheet?

 

[UpAndComing]

Sinner is thanking the ball kids. He's going through it
