Alcaraz needs to stop relying on his serve

 

[willipp]

I don’t know how it compares in standard to nadal/djokovic/federer/murray but this is pretty much the best game of tennis I’ve ever watched.

This is mad!

At this stage of the match as well.

Some pass that.

 

[idahoblues]

Exhausting!

 

[blue whippet]

Astonishing level of tennis, after almost 5 1/2 hours, incredible shots from both players.

A victory for tennis?…

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

They’re so even in terms of ability and desire. This rivalry is going to be epic.

Happy that Aguero won in the end.

If Sinner doesn't win, I'll eat my virtual hat.

He'll be inconsolable today, but there will times in the future when Sinner will take grand slam titles off Alcaraz. I don't have the slightest doubt about it. The margins have been wafer thin today.
Hats off to both.
Get ready for some fantastic struggles.

Well done Alcaraz, some of the posts on here are weird, Alcaraz leading 6-0 in points in the tie break and people on here are saying it’s not done.

Those two are so far ahead of the rest of the field. Mens tennis has been lucky to move on from the big 3 to these two so quickly without any significant lull in quality/drama.

Ridiculous match. Good timing for the football too.

Amazing match.
Rafa would be proud.

 

[Pancake Arse]

They said earlier that any match Sinner has been in that goes over 3.5 hours, he's never won.
Another to add to the list.

Fantastic match though. For Sinner to have three championship points and end up losing takes some comeback.

That was vs. Djokovic, and Sinner did win.

That's my takeaway from today. And there is no one even close. Really.

If Djokovic gets another slam and goes through either or both of these 2, he's done something amazing.

Ridiculous match.

Down 1-2, 3-5, 0-40, what a comeback by Carlos. Can't believe that just happened.

Assuming both stay healthy, this looks to go back and forth for years, perhaps decades.

23 Sinner and 22 Alcaraz, that's plenty of runway for both IF they stay healthy.

They'd have to have bad days to not make finals going forward.

This was insane final ,similar to Djoko vs Nadal back in 2012 Australian open ,which was 5.53

 

[BlueHammer85]

Wow, can’t believe what I witnessed. Unreal points.

Djoko could not have lived with either of these today. Wimbledon may — may — be another matter. The guy's a scrapper. But I have pretty serious doubts. He's 38. These guys are 22 and 23.
I think the guard has changed today. For good.
