Musetti had no chance from the jump. Sinner like a cyborg out there

I like Alcaraz a lot, but I think I'd favor Sinner as of now if they meet in a few days. I took Alcaraz for the French Open and then Sinner for Wimbledon as my picks, and I think I'd take Sinner here.

Everyone can say that Alcaraz "peaks" higher, but even if that may be true, you can't play at absolute peak level for 3-5 sets. I think it will be close, but the way Sinner is playing now, it's going to be DAMN tough to beat him. One of the biggest things to me is that he doesn't make some of the same lackadaisical mistakes that Alcaraz is prone too, and that may very well be the difference when playing someone like Sinner.

Feels like they're on a crash course.

Anything can happen in tennis, but barring any major injuries or one of them losing their #1/#2 ranking if they don't play enough, it's tough to really see anyone else facing off in the Grand Slam Finals.

This is, and will continue to be an amazing rivalry.

I think FAA gets absolutely obliterated in three sets. I can see him winning less than eight games total.

Probably but he got humiliated by Sinner a few weeks ago like Anisimova did by Swiatek at Wimbledon. Hopefully, he at least puts up a fight.

Sinner & Alcaraz gonna kill the 1HBH for good

The one arm bandits still the only ones not called Alcaraz to take sets off Sinner in the Majors this summer.

Sinner when dialed in is hard work. I think he wins US Open regardless who he has to face in the final. I love how he just turns up, kicks ass, leaves. Nothing overly fancy just technically sound

Variety is how you have to beat Sinner.

Musetti gotta get back in the lab and work on that slice so he can stop falling 10 ft behind the baseline.

Carlos hasn't really had those lackadaisical moments thus far this tournament, and not really in Cinncinati either.

I turned it off once it got to 5-1 Sinner in the first lol I knew how it was gonna end

Wimbledon loss changed his approach

I don't dislike many players, but Iga can be hard to like at times. She's always pouting and crying about something.

If Djokovic ends up winning the U.S. Open, I expect all of you anti-Djokovic posters to call him the GOAT..
