MEN'S SINGLES F
ITA J. Sinner [1] vs USA T. Fritz [12]
by jazzyg I am not a Fritz guy, but I expect him to take a set from Sinner. This is the best he's ever played and his serve will keep it tight. He matches up better with Sinner than Tiafoe, though neither one of them has the game to beat him unless he develops one of those injuries that crop up from time to time at critical moments.
by ashkor87 I am expecting something like 7-5,7-6,6-2 ..though it is very silly to predict the score..the crowd will keep Fritz close in the first 2 sets, then Sinner will pull away.
But who knows!!
by Suliso 80-20 to Sinner, but 20% odds are not zero odds.
by ponchi101 Somewhere in that realm. Fritz has a chance.
I will keep saying it. These guys are NOT R/R/N. They can be beat.
First you have to believe it, though.
H2H is basically meaningless. 1-1, with both meetings at IW (odd) and the last one in 2023. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since.
by jazzyg I think Alcaraz will be at the level of R/R/N. Except for Nadal on clay, they weren't at that level at his age.
Sinner might get there as well. We will know more by this time next year.
by Suliso It might still change, but right now it doesn't seem like Fritz will threaten Sinner seriously.
by ashkor87 There goes my prediction..6-3 first set. Predicting scores is simply foolish
by ponchi101 Sinner with only 1 UE through the 5-4 game.
That is going to be tough to beat.
by ti-amie Drake is a notorious jinx.
by Suliso Straight sets for Sinner. Not a surprise really, is it?

“Dedico questa vittoria a mia zia, non sta molto bene e non so per quanto resterà ancora nella mia vita. Questo ultimo periodo per me non è stato facile. Grazie a chi è stato al mio fianco ogni giorno. È un titolo importante per me”.
- #Sinner dopo la vittoria #USOpenFinal
Translated from Italian by Google
“I dedicate this victory to my aunt, she is not very well and I don’t know how much longer she will remain in my life. This last period has not been easy for me. Thanks to those who have been by my side every day. It is an important title for me”.

OTOH. Fritz must be feeling bad (meaning, worse) for not pushing this to 4. He was playing fine tennis and then he got that set snatched from him.

But exactly the reverse momentum ..third set was close, evidently ,(didn't see it, went off to sleep)
by ponchi101 That was like exhibit A of why this after match, on court interviews are bad. Fritz was gutted. He behaved exemplary but you could tell he was very down.
Go back to Wimbledon style, before the 2000's. Hand them the trophies, let the reporters take the pictures and the champions lift them, and give them some time before they go to the press conference.
