Grand Slam Mens Final Sinner v Zverev

[Some Idiot]

he already is challenging them, both he and Alcaraz, considering the success they have at the same age. Novak win his first major at 20, Carlos already has 4 and he is 21!

Sinner (23) And Alcaraz (21) have the next 10+ years to catch them.

These 2 could easily overtake Novak if they stay healthy.

Don't think I quite realised how well Sinner was travelling. They mentioned he's the first player in 50 years to get 10 straight sets wins in a row against other top 10 players. Crazy stat, he's not just beating other top players, he's not giving them a chance

The guy is near untouchable to a hard court, thats for sure.

Just had a look at Sinner's results in 2024. Insane.
19 Mil in prize money too.

Was such a gracious winner , supported Zverev after crowd heckling incident with great words of support for Zverev and family afterwards .
Refreshing , Tennis needs him .
Three time Grand Slam winner plus more that he brings to the game .

People saying Sinner is bland. I actually like that about him, he just lets his tennis do the talking. Also no grunting and groaning, that is a big plus in my book.

I feel Zverev is too emotional. Nothing wrong with having strong emotions or showing them but you can't allow them to control you or your game. I think they do a little bit with Zverev. Kudos to him though for composing himself and ignoring the heckling and being gracious in defeat. They all have to do it but it can't be easy after losing a title.

At the moment, Sinner is too good. I don't think anyone would've beaten him last night

Does anyone else think it was odd that when they were talking about the year ahead for Sinner (last night in the post match) that they didn't mention the possible drug suspension? Surely something that will factor into how his year pans out. Or are they not allowed to discuss it or something?

His health might have something to do with it , fluctuating blood sugar during matches , , done incredibly well has Zverev .
Emotionally this would be a factor, Zverev actually excelled hope he does win Wimbledon possibly best chance.

Poor Murray. 3 hard fought blood sweat and tears majors won with the Big 3 around.

Sinner equals that with no one particularly great- a young Alcaraz and a 35 year old Djokovic.

Being born in the right era helps.

Agree but Sinner has some class in any era .

Plus Sinner has a different style to Murray's game

Way too much

1. Discussion about Djokovic

2. Focus on Sinner potential ban whilst ignoring / underplaying Zverev’s lack of ban for DV.
