Sinner on grass will be something special. Last year beat Alcaraz in 4 and was up 2 sets on Novak F'n Djokovic. His ability to get low and hit these massive groundstrokes will be pain for anyone. The serve is slowly improving too.

Going rate is about 16/1 to 18/1 right now.

Petchey or whatever his name is generally annoys me, but that was awesome: "bewildering, enchanting, athleticism of another universe."

Crazy how quickly we went from "Man no one else will ever come close to the Big 3" to "These guys will be incredible to watch for the next 15 years".

The forehand block return at 0-15 or whatever and then the point to break =


It felt like Sinner was in full control until five minutes ago.

Yeah I think Sinner thought he would fool him by going to the forehand on that 0-15 one and Alcaraz obliterated it.

Sinner's returns are incredible and giving him trouble.

Forcing him into DFs too.

Sinner BH return is Jokerish these days.

What was that weird out call on the 30-30 point? I didn't hear the normal audio and it sounded like the ump.

I was a little distracted and missed that.

Lazy droppah at 4-3 up in the breaker cost the young Italian.

Pain.

That was a huge brain fart with how he was dominating on the ground.

Both guys are jumping all over 2nd serves. What a battle.

Some shite is happening.

Sinner breaks at love and will now serve for the 2nd set.

Alcaraz returns the favor with a drop shot into the net from a commanding position in the rally.

Guy can't move and he still holds. Don't know if it's cramps or not but this is why I hate to bet any tennis futures months in advance.

Just some incredible tennis today.

Adding Sinner +1600 to my French Open futures.

The more I watch Alcaraz the more his flexibility jumps out to me. I mean besides the obvious absurd level of talent. He's out there doing splits during these rallies.

Yeah on that all-timer point he literally did a split and fell down during the point.

Man I really thought Carlos was unbeatable. Sinner proved me wrong, we need parity.

Not only do we have a great match coming up in a bit, but Agassi, McEnroe, Chang, and Roddick are about to play pickleball against each other.

Rybakina/Kvitova tiebreak in the first set yesterday was absurd.
