These Sinner second serves…

Huge set for Sinner to win, after bravely bombing a 116mph second serve down set point.

One issue for Alcaraz on a fast indoor hard court is that it is tougher for him to use his variety, given the speed of the ball coming at him, especially from Sinner.

That’s the service game of a player coming off the high of winning a very important set.

Sinner Alcaraz with the fastest 24 shot rally of all time

Big gift from Alcaraz in that game on break point. Had a short forehand with time and hit it long.

This crowd has been bad. I get that it’s Sinner, but they’ve had no shortage of premature celebrations.

Sinner wins the second set despite serving 47% first serves compared to Alcaraz who served 71% first serves.

A lot to learn from Alcaraz here in how to stay positive grow and learn even in defeat

I remained convinced the only player right now with a chance of entering the mix with Sinner and Alcaraz is Fonseca. My guess is we start seeing it more in 2027.

He’s thinking about the ATP calendar

Who will win more slams in 2026: Sinner or Alcaraz?

Only guess is Alcaraz is looking for someone to help him reduce the volatility he sometimes has in his game, otherwise this is confusing
