January 24, 20241 yr Zverev playing incredibly well. Missed 4 first serves through 2 sets. Alcaraz in trouble here.
January 24, 20241 yr Author Damn, breaker just to force a 4th. Edited January 24, 20241 yr by shadow_operative2.0
January 25, 20241 yr Serving up 30 love and 6-5, and Coco misses an easy forehand... Damn, costs her Set#1 in a tiebreaker. Coco fought back so hard from early slow start in Set#1 down 0-2. Fuk Edited January 25, 20241 yr by LTtxfan
January 25, 20241 yr Already 8 double faults serving for Coco and it's just game #1 in Set#2 🙄 Edited January 25, 20241 yr by LTtxfan
January 25, 20241 yr Sabalenka served too well for Coco to get back into the match in Set#2. Coco still has bigtime 2nd service issues -- too many double faults. Ugh
January 26, 20241 yr I admit that haven’t really followed tennis much since last year’s US OPEN, but I really don’t care when a Chinese national makes it to a final. Couldn’t give less of a shit. Would like to see someone not named “Novak” win this tournament. Probably won’t record it. Will just glance at the scores in the morning.

From what I saw Sinner jumped all over him at the start and Novak had no answers. I also think Father Time is catching up to Novak. He has to win another one, or two, Slams this season because the younger guys are progressing and he is pulling back towards them. I think I read that Sinner had not yet dropped a set this whole tournament and Novak has had some long matches.

Dinner played well, but not world-beating but Joker seemed to feel his age. Can’t believe Medvedev came back from 2 sets down and like a point or so away from losing.

You really get a sense of how amazing the commitment, training, nutrition, health care, etc that they receive is when you view old-time highlights from the 80s, or so.

Sinner has been playing amazing the last several weeks/months and is ready for this moment. Djok couldn't handle it which is and isn't surprising. He was missing shots he normally doesn't miss and consistently doing so.
January 26, 20241 yr Djokovic was sick earlier in the tournament as well. I mean look he's going to lose a few and win a few on his last hurrah, no doubt age is part of it. He made way to many unforced errors though and that had absolutely nothing to do with Sinner. Sinner was not causing forced errors to that degree, and that was what was so unbelievable about the outcome. Djokovic was hitting the net below the tape on routine shots of all types, that's something else. What Sinner did do was play extremely well when it was his serve, he left no opening for Djokovic and he played to the middle of the court well as Djokovic failed to even start. If Djokovic played without the unforced errors that was a match to the end. Sinner won for sure, but Djokovic also lost it with his unforced errors. Edited January 26, 20241 yr by troph
January 27, 20241 yr Author Aryna goes back-to-back. I honestly think she finishes with at least 5 Slams.
January 27, 20241 yr She’s just 25-years old. If she stays healthy there is a good chance of that. I don’t think she dropped a set this whole tournament. Dominant play
January 27, 20241 yr Her issue was always between her ears. Her physical tools are spectacular. She’s fun to watch and I’m happy she seems to have gotten over her slam jitters in a big way. Djoker becoming mortal gruntles me too.

January 27, 20241 yr Wow Saba played like she looks, fierce. good for her, looks like she may finally getting her head straight. That was so dominant. Good for her.
January 28, 20241 yr Author Night crew checking in. Got a couple duckets on DMed, let’s ride. Edited January 28, 20241 yr by shadow_operative2.0
January 28, 20241 yr Sinner leads, 5-3, in fifth set. Was down two sets to zero. Epic match. Medvedev has been on the court a full 24 hours this tournament Edit: Sinner won the final three sets. Amazing Edited January 28, 20241 yr by PittsburghTiger
January 28, 20241 yr What a comeback. Sinner just dominated that final set and hardly put a foot wrong. Well deserved win and I think he and Alcaraz seem destined to be the next big thing on the men’s tour.
