The Official Tennis Thread

People bytched about the USO selling out like Coachella but the on court narratives delivered

Carlos turning around his form on the hard courts, handing Sinner his first big L, taking back the number 1 ranking and looking to clinch the Grand Slam in January

Current Hard Court Queen Aryna Sabalenka turns around the narrative surrounding her season and becomes the first player to defend their title since Serena

Former Hard Court Queen Naomi-sama re-estsblishing herself as a legit contender, while Amanda emerges as one

We’ll see these two at it again February 1st 2026 at the AO Final

Imagine just being handed a $5,000,000 check..


Crazy thing is, him and Sinner are going to make a TON on their endorsement deals over the course of their careers. Not only are they elite and very likeable, but they are from two of the most tennis obsessed countries in the world with sizable populations.

Nike and Rolex both laughing right now. They have this advertisement for the next 10 years

The gap between these 2 guys and everyone else is just

Crazy how different the situation is on each tour

ATP is basically a two man show... with one aging legend, one guy w/ a huge monkey on his back (Sasha Z), a crop of young contenders w/injuries, and a bum generation

WTA has a really strong top 3 for the first time in a while, w/a good mix of dark horses and young contenders trying to break through

Took Sinner apart with ease

We tried to tell that bozo @BucciMane Alcaraz at his best is on another level from everybody right now.

This was the most focused he's ever been throughout a tournament and that should be terrifying for everybody else, Sinner included.

Never seen Sinner get dominated on hard court like this.

Alcaraz has too many weapons and when they're all clicking...goodnight

I'm not disputing that Alcaraz at his best peaks higher. I said he he more prone to making some boneheaded mistakes. With that said, let's not act like Sinner played well at all today.

Sinner should probably have three Grand Slams this year.. I like Alcaraz more than I like Sinner, but I call it as I see it.

How nice was it to have a final that didn't feature any extended bathroom breaks, medical timeouts or any other shenanigans?

 

[BucciMane]

I just hope both of these guys stay healthy for the next 15 years or so. If they do, we will see quite a few special matches.

How nice we get a U.S. Open where the loser of the match wasn't bitter as can be and disrespectful after?.

Alcaraz played unreal all tournament. That 3rd set crushed Sinner.

Maybe Sinner wasn’t really injured/ill at the Cincy Open final when he “retired” and was just shook
