Come on.
To say his serve is fraudulent is a bit crazy, and I also think most people would rank Alcaraz as the better player. However, would people still feel that strongly about it if Sinner ended up closing at the French Open? It's very close between them.
I think Carlos can "peak" higher, but you aren't going to play peak level every single point. And, I would say Carlos is more prone to making some of those questionable and "what the heck?!" decisions.
Against Alcaraz it is though? Look at the percentages compared to when its against all these lesser players and what it is against Alcaraz
And if you're going to keep getting beat then talking about how close it is doesn't mean anything does it really? In an individual sport?
Sinner is more consistent yes but Sinner can't be getting beat 6 straight times and still be looked at the same, he also took first sets in these defeats too
What's he goona need, old ass Djokovic to take out Alcaraz in a semi so he can eat?
I don't completely disagree with you.
However, I have a hard time calling someone a fraud when they really only lose against someone that may be the greatest player we've seen at their age.
Anyways, this match isn't over yet. Alcaraz may very well win it, but if he doesn't.........
Edit: Sinner with a miss into the net there.

Alcaraz is basically a anime protagonist. Guy never gives up. 
I say fraud because at the top top level we see what's really good
The past big three or four they beat each other, yes they beat on lesser opponents but they didn't get snuffed like this in terms of routine (if he does end up losing)
You can only be judged against your main rivals in terms of overall status IMO
RG was big because he needed to stop the rot but failed to do so, eventually the mental damage could be set in stone
One of these younger guys will eventually become a problem too for Sinner, he needs to eat quickly

I'm like 60% watching this and doing some shyt around the house.
Does Sinner usually hit this many bad shots in situations that should be easy winners for him?
