So we finish the 2024 Majors w/two clear top players on each tour

 

[Regular_P]

Sinner looking like the new Novak & just like with Novak, you ain't beating him playing "percentage tennis"

But Fritz being a GS champ wouldn't have been right anyway...get these Serve & forehand bums outta here

Your Fritz animosity is unmatched.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Fritz Lost his serve back to back to close out the match

And he was serving for the set

 

[Yapdatfool]

Nobody had more to prove or a bigger chip on their shoulder than Sinner going into this tournament and he cruised to the title while not having his best stuff.

He first serve was spraying in that 3rd set

Ben Shelton is the only guy I can see at the moment getting into the mix. It's hard for me to imagine a scenario where he doesn't have some Slams where his serve is damn near unreturnable and wins a few.

That dude has a long way to go, he is very erratic but he has big potential

Fritz is not a smart player, Sinner was standing so far back there and gave him the oppurtunity to change it up with a percentage serve and then come to the
net

Sinner may not win an easier slam final with low quality tennis in his life

 

[BlackAchilles]

Which match are we more likely to see in a GS next year: Alcaraz vs Sinner or Sabalenka vs Swiatek

 

[Nero Christ]

Your Fritz animosity is unmatched.

Getting broken when serving for the set & when trying to stay in the match

Americans having to cheer for this as their last hope A bald eagle probably flew into a jet engine as we speak

Random note: Zverev is gonna be the #2 ranked player after this tournament.

You could make the argument that Zverev is one of the biggest underachievers of all time, since he most likely will never win a Slam. Or you could make the argument that he is one of the biggest overarchievers of all time, since he is basically a functional retard

Definitely Sinner/Alcaraz.

He also got type 1 diabetes that he injected insulin durin matches for I can't remember seein any athlete do that before

He actually did that in the Tiafoe match too; however, he was playing Tiafoe…

 

[Jean toomer]

Definitely Sinner/Alcaraz.

If Draper gets his fitness sorted, he could be messy. Big game, big forehand. He had an impressive run in the Open.

 

[DraymondT]

Felt like Jannik played his C+ level most US Open and still won. His first serve was jacked up all tournament I think set 3 they said to have a successful 1st serve no fault he was at like 35% and still won lol....

Jannik and Carlos are firmly top 2 players. Novak in his late stage Fed spot where he not seen as one of the 2 best he might even be closer to Med and Zverev than he is Jannik or Carlos right now but can he still pull out a GS? Time tells

 

[Mazino]

If Draper gets his fitness sorted, he could be messy. Big game, big forehand. He had an impressive run in the Open.

He had such an easy draw, barely played anyone of note and Demon was physically not as his top level after the first tournament since Wimbledon after his injury.

He has some potential but I see maybe top 10 right now, not elite of the elite.

Crazy how Sinner doesn't get the Halep treatment. She has been absolutely screwed and done dirty. Disgusting.
