Same and same. I’m worried about lehecka

U agree that alcaraz isn’t beating djokovic in the Semis if we get there, yes?

I mean that’s how it feels but this is maybe the best version of Carlos I’ve seen so I don’t wanna bet against him. It seems like Djokovic is the chosen one though

1 thing which gave me pause is hearing the commentators say they think the courts are playing like red clay

In terms of ball speed? Interesting

yeah in terms of play speed

That tracks with the eye test I guess on the men’s side. Didn’t feel that way watching Osaka beat up on Coco.

Yeah I honestly don’t know what tk make of hearing that; unless it’s Indian Wells I’m gonna assume it’s a lot faster than clay

what to make

Yea I don’t fully understand the physics of them saying hard courts are getting slower

One thing with Carlos is that he’s in Federer mode where if he’s holding serve consistently he gets to spend every return game unleashing to silliest bullshit imaginable and that’s where he can beat Sinner. The behind the back shot yesterday is a prime example

lol but Federer had a far better and more consistent serve

God lol now I’m imagining him with Federer’s serve or 90% of it hahahhh

Speaking of imaginary players, do u agree that alcaraz would be better - than sinner - if his serve was 90% as good as Sinner’s?

I wouldn’t even put the number that high. 100%. If Alcaraz gets the serve to a comfortable level I think everything else he does well just gets more important. The risk taking is more impressive and valuable when you have a stable baseline. It’s less cute when he’s getting broken

Yeah he looked great 2 yrs ago too played the min number of sets through to the SF and then he got beat badly by Medvedev

Hard to beat my GOAT

U watched that match right lol I was so sure alcaraz would roll through him but became clear first set medvedev was favored bc they were tied in points despite medvedrv double faulting like 7 times first few games

Yes I was so torn cause I wanted Meddy to win but knew he would get crushed in the final. One of those outcomes that feels triumphant in the moment but ensures a more boring conclusion to the slam

I really wanted a rematch after Cincinnati haha how much of that match did u see live; I wasn’t even planning on watching but it went so long I caught final 75 minutes on my laptop

Was at a friend’s party and me and a couple buddies watched it the whole time lol

I don’t think he’s beating Sinner lol

I don’t think anyone is beating sinner but maybe he gets the flu

Mussetti looks great but the level is so different than what the top 3 guys do. I’m hoping Fritz wins but he literally never beats Djokovic

Yeah what ur prediction for tomorrow; I really don’t know about lehecka

Dude I mean if Carlos is serving like he’s been serving he’s just not gonna drop a set but I’m so pessimistic. I would love De Minaur to win but I love Felix too I just want 5 sets of sinner. I’ll be there with grounds passes just watching doubles though.
