Sinner in 5. Sinner is the last person to beat Alcaraz on Grass, 4th round of Wimbledon 2022.

Sinner's movement on natural surfaces has taken a leap, his footwork and slides in long rally's have been incredible. Alcaraz has more pure foot speed, a better drop and net game but they are on the same level as far as their ground strokes, forehand, double backhand both are serving at a high level. Carlos has playerd far more tennis in this tournament than Sinner, I wonder if that will be a factor and it will be one of the hottest days of the years tomorrow in London.

Alcaraz has obviously got the best of him recently on other surfaces but I think Sinner will take advantage of the lapses in concentration Alcaraz is prone to that other players have failed to take advtantage of.

I have to say that anytime I'm on Twitter or visit the tennis warehouse forum, I realize how much Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic stans go at it. . Not as much Nadal stans, but definitely the Federer and Djokovic ones.

Some of these people saying that Djokovic "vultured" 8-10 Grand Slam Championships and that Nadal "vultured" five or six. Some of these Federer stans are worse than Kobe and LeBron stans..

Playing on grass should be advantageous for Sinner, and he's less prone to making some bone-headed decisions like Alcaraz can make at times. Yes, Alcaraz can likely "peak" higher than Sinner, but that may be for a few points or games. It's hard to maintain that peak level for an entire match.

I can see Alcaraz in five sets, but I can also see Sinner coming out and just blitzing him in straight sets. .

It's crazy.

I never really post or like anything on Twitter, but I decided to comment on a tweet a Federer fan made yesterday, and I wake up and I have more likes and comments on my comment than I ever could have imagined. .


The Djokovic stans come out in full force when he is disrespected..



Honestly, I think it's almost at a crazier level than LeBalco and Kobe stans.

Don't Jannik play worse longer a match goes? I remember readin his record in sets that go 5 and it was real bad. Carlos barely ever loses 5th set can't even remember the last time he did. In the tiebreak of the 5th set at French Open Carlos went up 7-0.... That was real bad look. Carlos has better fitness and for the heat he from Spain lol.... I don't see how it'd affect him more than Jannik.

It will be hard for Sinner to win a five set match. That's why I'm leaning towards Sinner winning in straight sets or losing in five sets. Not sure which way I'm leaning more towards, but I think Sinner in five sets is the least likely scenario................which is why it probably happens..

 

[Yapdatfool]

I can guarantee one thing... no body's losing a set 6-0 tomorrow

Can't argue with that. Tomorrow is more of a test for Sinner. Alcaraz isn't under as much pressure and brings his best for Sinner but if Sinner gets in front again like Roland Garros, I think he holds on.

 

[Nero Christ]

If Sinner is gonna win, it's gonna be in 3 or a quick 4 setter.

The longer a match goes, Alcaraz gets used to his opponents and his conditioning comes into play. Fritz hinted at this in his presser too. Carlos' patterns are atypical making him difficult to plan against late in these matches cause you don't know what he's gonna pull at any moment. Sinner is more typical with his play even tho it's extremely and ruthlessly effective.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Damn, I'm watching this match from earlier today and I'm embarrassed for her.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Who do we have winning tomorrow?

I think Sinner in 3. Very bold I know but he's hitting the ball extremely well, and has been real solid and consistent outside of dimitrov game. These are the finals we always want to see, number 1 Vs number 2.

We about to eat brehs

 

[UpAndComing]

I got Sinner winning. I think Sinner's ball striking will make more a difference in Wimbledon on Grass than it did in Roland Garros on Clay
It's up to Sinner to have the points shorter and get Carlos on the run more
