alcaraz has no strategy other than hitting every shot as hard as he can and going for winners far too often

Damn, Alcaraz shoulda had this in straight sets. It looks like Sinner broke his spirit.

Alcaraz doesn't have a game plan. Just running around the court attempting to hit power shots

way too many opportunities to break...he's gotta remember that and play smart if he gets those

and improve that first serve no matter what happens

It really just all comes down to that forehand in the second set. All he had to do was get it over the net but he got excited and hit it as hard as he could right into the net. If he makes that shot, he's up 2-0 and probably closes it out in the third.

That gave Sinner life and he looks like he believes he'll overcome anything in this match now.

Yeah, that's what I didn't like about the Cilic match. Cilic was the one dictating the majority of the points.

He's only 19 though and I still have faith in him.

Sinner has his number for now, he can match him for power off of both wings, is very athletic and has a good return of serve.

These two will have a great rivalry over the years.

 

[Regular_P]

Brutal to give the break right back. Another tough learning experience for Alcaraz.

 

[Regular_P]

Alcaraz should have attacked Sinner's backhand more.

 

[Regular_P]

Oh my god, I can't believe he got the break.

You missed one for the ages, @malbaker86

The future of tennis might finally be in good hands if these two get even better.

 

[Jblaze204]

Wow just wow

 

[Regular_P]

Four sets in and Sinner finally blinked. The nerves set in when he was serving for the match.
