This Jack Draper guy looks like he will be a good player if he can stay fit.

not only alcaraz, sometimes sinner is unreal too. if we didn't have athletes like djokovic and nadal (and murray too before his injuries killed his career at the top) i'd say they took tennis to a new level.

the big 4 (big 3?) took too long to replace because the youngsters couldn't reach their mental, physical and technical level. nice to see finally some continuity at the top. alcaraz and sinner are there both technically and physically, and as good as they can be at their age mentally too

musetti is such a fun player to watch. rarely obvious, he goes for the shot, has a great wrist. i hope he keeps growing

 

[Rockets]

First game of the match, 14 mins already. Wonder if they gonna keep playing till the euro final kicks off.

Great match from Alcaraz. Djole sadly wasnt at his best. He picked up his game considerably in the 3rd set but Alcaraz won this one easily. The age might be catching up to him. Greatest of all time though.

Jannik Sinner, the men’s world No 1 tennis player, has avoided a doping ban after he successfully argued that two failed anti-doping tests in March had been a result of contamination through his physiotherapist.

US Open is going to be interesting as fuck now.

a few players already posted some salty and/or critical messages on double measures. kyrgios' post lol

then again, the amount of the banned substance was extremely low

Guess I'm a fan of neither. Alcaraz has a more watchable style of play, but both have 0 charisma unlike the former big three.

Jack Draper is going to be a very good player, but with this generation having Sinner and Alcaraz it's going to be a slog and maybe slim pickings when it comes to Grand Slams. He certainly thinks he's going to be contending at that level.

finally

only djokovic left, let's hope he also retires soon enough. i've had enough of the big3 for years

Shanghai Masters Final: [1] Sinner def. [4] Djokovic, 7-6(4) 6-3

Never saw Sinner in real trouble during the whole match.
