Sinner's defense has been really good . Moving well and seems to be feeling better

Shelton's serve so far has been shaky. If he does not have a consistent serve in this match, he has no chance

I think Shelton's serve is overrated, one day it may get there but at times its too try hard and attempting to be flashy rather than percentage play

Andreeva had an opponent hobbling, Injured, and mentally unravelling, and couldn't capitalize at all. Couldn't even win a set. That shows her age. But she will obviously learn from it and get much better with time

Serve’s shaky because he isn’t making inroads on Sinner’s serve…so he’s feeling more pressure to hold

I think 6 months ago you could say that, but he's rapidly improving. He's getting less one dimensional and he's serving and volleying more

Sinner won’t last the match.

 

[UnQuantized]

Shelton has a very high ceiling but he needs to add more variety to his game. He's too athletic not to be a better returner too, gets over excited with his forehand. If Shelton is not serving aces, you bet on Sinner to win the point.

Against the better players though I think they get change out of it especially because his return of serve is crappy so he's under even more pressure to rely on it

Today he's not serving and volleying at all really, like I said I think it'll improve but without improving the return his ceiling is capped.

Also his backhand is average, defintiely some key things to improve

 

[BlackAchilles]

Stuck at work, I heard Jannik's hurting?

 

[UnQuantized]

Sinner's footwork so smooth

 

[Nero Christ]

Novak can still pull the Houdini but Flavio will not make this easy

 

[UnQuantized]

Novak's in trouble

 

[Yapdatfool]

Novak's in trouble

Ben's in more trouble

 

[UnQuantized]

Ben has to improve his return and add more variety in rally's but the talent is there.

 

[Mazino]

Shelton is a flawed player currently

Has promise but without the continuous improvement he'll fade in the pecking order

 

[Nero Christ]

Novak still a cut above the rest of the tour except the top 2
