Going to say still think Alcaraz is much better player, but he definitely hasn’t shown it here today
If Sinner wins and still think big if given the Lazarus acts Alcaraz pulls off, he will deserve it
I think Sinner will win. Just feels like the momentum has shifted his way.
It can change of course
Deuce, from 40-0 up on Alcaraz’s serve!
Sinner bolloxed that up, Alcaraz holds
Another net cord bit of luck for Sinner
Sinner holds. Bit lucky with a net chord on game point. 4-2
Alcaraz really needs to get more first serves in
Alcaraz holds. 4-3
He's got to break Sinner now
What the hell was that from Sinner?
15-30 on his serve.
Squeaky bum time!
15-40! :popcorn:
Two break points for Alcaraz
It’s happening again to Sinner
First one saved. 30-40
And Deuce
Advantage Sinner. Thumped the ball down for the winner
Sinner holds! That might be it.
Balls from Sinner
Sinner is hitting the ball so cleanly
Alcaraz holds.
5-4.
Sinner to serve for the Championship
30-0.
Two points away
40-0
3 Championship points
40-15
Sinner wins in 4
Great match!
Congratulations to Sinner, he did what I thought he was incapable of
Shown absolute guts and steel in this match
Final I wanted, result not what I expected (I like both players, find Alcaraz more entertaining but both nice guys)
Im hoping to see these two play again and again and again
Yrs, good match, Sinner outclassed Alca, back to the drawing board for himQuote:

So, this final (not in terms of the tennis played, this was far better) reminded me of the 1988 Wimbledon final (not the fa cup :lol:) between Edberg and Becker
Becker was the two time champion (although he wasn’t the reigning champion, as he’d gone out in the second round in 87 to a shock defeat to Australian Peter Doohan who sadly passed away a few years ago)
Becker took the first set and was expected to go on comfortably to win, but Edberg took the second set in a tiebreak and went on from there
The other final that it reminded me of was 2011 Wimbledon final, between Nadal and Djokovic (which Djokovic won in four)
Slightly different as despite a wobbly third set, Djokovic just played Nadal off the court where as Sinner I think had to produce a more controlled performance slowly turning the screw and building up more confidence.
Nadal was a two time winner, and Djokovic playing in his first Wimbledon final
Literally no idea how you remember all this stuff
Partly ADHD brain and partly using AI as a reference to make sure what I’m saying is correctQuote:

First final I remember watching was Kraijeck vs Washington
Wasn’t that big on Tennis until saw Federer beat Sampras in five sets in 2001
Disrespect to the royal family? I'm in... :ninja:Quote:

I don’t know what he’s complaining about, sounded like the photographer did him a solid. He was about to go out in straight sets but was able to fight his way back to two sets all as the incident seemed to bother his opponent more than himQuote:
