It was definitely a classic MTO tactic, but I doubt trying for reverse UNO will work on Sinner.

That hurts, but you just gotta hold and try again next Sinner service game.

Edit: Yikes.

FAA is right there. Sinner just a tiny bit better when it counts.

Mostly sucks that Sinner was actually beatable. Would have been easier to take if he just got blasted.

What a great effort from Felix tonight and US Open tourney in general, great to see him back where he belongs.

That was a good watch at least. Occasionally frustrating but not like watching Shapo at least.

It's going to be interesting to see if there's ever a point where Felix goes into a tournament and can just sustain his peak form for the bulk of the tournament. Basically like when Fernando Verdasco just happened to turn on God Mode at the 2009 AO and played like Felix's top level but didn't let up. And Nadal still won in the end, which tells you something about how good he and Federer were at their peak... Or I guess another example would be peak Stanimal. I hope we get to see it someday.

He definitely looks sharper going into the final. Maybe Sinner being tested by Felix is a good thing as he knows he's going to have to play better on Sunday.
