Yeah, I struggle with him. I know he is young but he just seems the sort of guy who will get to the 4th round/quarters of a heap of slams and then get beaten up.

Neither Sinner nor Alcaraz will have played that many five-setters so will be interesting if both of them have to back up from playing one (if Cilic can force the current match to five).

Solid reminds me a lot of David Ferrer/David Nalbandian he’s not bad just not sure he has that but extra to win slams. Seems to be a perennial QF type player.
Then again it is a scientific fact that Spaniards don't get physically tired

Respect to old Marin, really bringing it on the clutch points. Match going way after 2am in New York.

Cilic always plays well in the US. Looked at this match and couldn’t believe how short Alcatraz was this was a real danger game

He's a really good player Cilic. I doubt he can win the thing but he's very honest.

So - we will have a virgin Grand Slam champion this year.
Be happy for any of them to win really except Ruud (don't think he deserves to be world #1) Rublev (not talented enough to be a slam champ) & Khachanov (same).

Rick Macci believes that Carlos Alcaraz can be the GOAT.
That's a huge statement given the guy is yet to win a major.

Exactly!
I think it's pretty premature to make a statement on Alcaraz at the moment.

Plus he’s only been good in half the slams (US and French)

I dont think he has ever lost in the first round of a slam. He is good on all surfaces. Grass takes some adapting but Todd said on the telecast that he expects him to be a a very good grass court player as he has all the shots needed for that surface already. Just needs to learn and play more.
