Has the game for sure, but needs to work on strategy (tactics) and stamina. It will come in time, let's see what the next 12 months does for his development.

Novak playing what amounts to a younger version of himself (in terms of being a robot mostly) has to be quite a trip. Sinner is not gonna get you out of your seat like Alcaraz, but the consistency is relentless.

If Alcaraz had Sinner's focus we'd probably looking a couple undefeated seasons in the future. We've seen it all tournament (and other tournaments) where Alcaraz just totally ####s off for stretches, probably because he's so bored of being way better than the guys he's playing. But the sport is finished if he gets that Sinner-level of robotic-ness. Bigger question right now is who is out there to stop the next 10 GS finals being Alcaraz-Sinner?
I think Alcaraz has the most complete game but Sinner is more than just a robot. He consistently hits a heavier ball than anyone on the tour. Listen to Shelton’s post match comments where he says the biggest adjustment when facing him is the pace of the ball from both sides is unlike anyone.
Well when I say robot I don't mean servebot, I mean he just is so consistent in rallies it borders on robotic. He's a groundstrokebot if anything, just rarely has anything other than good performances on the groundstrokes.

I never fell in love with the Djoker game because it was always more about pulling forced errors and easy putaways than blasting dudes off the court. Carrot definitely fires more bullets into lines and corners.

There's no doubt his game lacks the flair of Alcaraz but his regular ground strokes are next level. Novac was always good at picking the right time in a long rally to rip the cover off the ball but that's just a routine groundstroke for Sinner which is why he tends to just steamroll his way through events as tour players simply can't handle the constant pressure he puts on them. Still that Dimitrov match shows that he occasionally doesn't bring his A game but otherwise he's just so consistent about how he goes about his business.
2 great finals this weekend, couldn't have asked for anything more as a tennis fan.... just when I thought I was out they pull me back in
Hoping Amanda can win on Saturday - That would keep the American women calendar slam intact with three different American ladies winning a slam in 2025.

You spelt Iga wrong
Seriously I'd like to see her continue racking up Slams and keep climbing the all time list. Iga is sadly having the career I envisioned Bianca having
