You can see the difference between the players for Alcaraz it's a matter of how often he can hit that peak level which he did in the first set but abandoned him for the rest of the match, while Sinner just maintained his high level of play from start to finish and took care of business.

Liam Draxl won the Winnipeg Challenger event earlier today and will have a career high ranking of #121 on Monday.

Sinner's height and serve will help him sustain Wimbledon. He ups his rally tolerance on clay and maybe a calendar slam is on the cards.
This was a big win by Jannik to stop the Charlie streak of victories in the H2H and send a strong message that he's not going to be able to waltz to wins at Wimbledon. The most impressive thing to me is that he stepped up the aggression in the 4th set and played to win the match and not even chancing things going to a 5th set.

I don’t even think he has to do much of anything more on clay. Nerves and god mode Carlos are the only reasons we’re not already preparing to watch his calendar slam coronation in eight weeks. Especially if this new tactic of moving forward to starve opponents of time sticks. I would like to be in the lab to see what Carlos and his team cook up as a counter for this.

I don't like this, but I don't think even Uncle Toni can remove all the built-up mental scar tissue...
