Talk About Tennis 2.0

Final match time: 5h 31m

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insanity.

To be abundantly clear.....NO sane tennis fan is ever going to discount Sinner. Now or ever. Truly, I now hope both of them win all Slam titles....albeit, LOL, i sure as heck want Carlos to win a ton more. What i feel will always be the saving grace for Sinner is and in a truly worst case scenario, whenever Carlos gets upset at a Slam.....much more likely to happen than for Jannick....I mean, who the hell else is going to beat Sinner, especially at a Slam.....Scary part is, there IS still room for improvement for both. When both of them learn to be top notch clutch servers.....

What an absolute privilege that, after Rafa, Roger and Novak, we so quickly already have two at least potential legends.

He was just the definition of shell shocked sitting down after the match. Very, very understandably.

Too early to say where this final stands (recency bias is a strong response), but certainly a top 5.
I believe Carlos is now the sole player in history to win his/her first 5 slam finals. Right?

Alcaraz says his Roland Garros final against Sinner is the best Grand Slam match of his career

Courier: “Where does this rank amongst all the matches you’ve played at the majors?”

Carlos: “I’m gonna put it first. I think it’s the best grand slam match I’ve played in my career.“

Federer won his first seven slam finals.

I love this stat.
Sinner hit 722 strokes; 64 were UE. That means he hits less than 10% of his shots out.
Alcaraz: 711/73.
Gives you a new perspective on what the UE stat means (i.e. they seldom hit a ball out).
