Sinner

The first highlight of the future

They put Sinner Alcaraz on court 1, why??

The beggining of a great rivalry

@@stefanodg6155 because they're.. french

Agree. Kid got energy and mentality 😁

True. Is pleasure to watch him on the net. Just great . Remind me Mc Enroe

Yep he has a career grand slam

Not that good in singles though 😬

@@guillermoa.davila6503 yeah hes more of a doubles player, but hes still in the top 100 in singles with a career high of 36, not bad at all

His net play is beautiful!

Herbert volleys are a Delight to watch, a beautiful technique like Feliciano Lopez...

@@keaneoRX7 he's way more skilled than Lopez

While I agree with most of what you wrote, you are wrong about his positioning. His net play does need work but then most of the young players have this same issue. His positioning is one of his strengths. He has great anticipation , so is able to get into position to play either defensive or offensive shots. Look at the rally at the net where Hebert hit that wide volley and Alcaraz was able to track it and bunt a winner down the line.

@@paulhussey8981 allow me to clarify if I may. His positioning during more neutral exchanges, which he (Carlos) should do much more with. His reactions are very impressive, but if he maintains a level of better positioning during less vigorous exchanges, I feel he will become an all around threat.

@@pawshands9706 I don't really understand what you're trying to say here. You are giving two (supposedly) different scenarios( I think!) one being 'neutral' exchanges and then comparing it to a second; which would be 'less vigorous' exchanges.To me those two sound very similar not opposite. Isn't neutral pretty much the same as less vigorous?

@@paulhussey8981 i'm sure (semantics aside) that some will make sense. Carlos is still a developing player and he obviously needs to fine tune various technical aspects of his game. Which i find very explosive and with limitless potential.

Basically what I said

Well that didn't age well

@@NicolasJohnElder broo i was literally gonna come back to comment somthing like that 😂😂😂 it didn’t AT ALL

@@callu6528 yes! I was there in the crowd, let me tell you everyone was shocked by this comeback from Gaston and how Alcaraz lost control of the match!

No it was because he hit Carlos at the net in one of the points and he wanted to say sorry again.

@@mmm6325 , ah, didn't know that. Thanks for respectfully informing me. Still good to see.

Sinner has incredibly accurate and fast shots. Alcaraz has the tenacity. Sinner would win!

@@afrofeast Alcaraz is better than sinner

@@Ja-xp9ig why say so? Sinner will be top 5 by next yr. Alcaraz needs until 2025.

@@afrofeast alcaraz es mas joven que sinner. Alcaraz será top 10 el año que viene, la progresion de alcaraz esta siendo mucho mas rapida que la de sinner. Alcaraz siempre le ganaba a sinner en torneos itf y challenger cuando eran mas jovenes.

@@Ja-xp9ig Ere kur wanen. An akile pyemo kodin. Ineno paran, aparoni Sinner loyo Alcaraz.

Replacement for Nadal. For sure!

You must not have watched the match; Herbert was amazing.

@@johnrainmcmanus6319 he’s not consistently top-tier. He has moments of brilliance, but to be amazing you need consistent brilliance. Herbert is talented & played a fantastic match against Alcaraz. There’s a reason he’s ranked #99 in the world

Of course he is amazing.21 doubles titles or consistently being on top 100 for many years? Or even going to the 3rd round of some grand slams? It’s like saying that aliasime is not amazing just because he lost many ATP finals. The more I play tennis the more I realise how complex and hard this sport is. For me, any guy that has ATP ranking is amazing.

Yeah@Cayler Simpson that's an odd comment, with respect. Reached a final in Marseille v Medvedev earlier part of the year, has a strong, all-court game. Despite being just inside the top 100 for singles, can and has beaten some top twenty and ten players on his day. The standards must be high in your world if he's not amazing.

@@chsimpsonkid11 i understand your point and agree with it. he MIGHT be brilliant in doubles, as Joao is mentioning, but definitely not in singles. He does love playing in home soul tho

that sinner is pathetic..he will be crushed

@@Straightforward786 Number 9 in the world at 20 ys old, the only one pathetic it's you

@@Straightforward786 You smoking something ?

No it's not. Sinner has no variety and Alcaraz is just a forehand. Two overrated youngsters

@@arindamghatak will see after their match

He had also a 5 setter against Sinner this year.

He plays well only in France ahahah he was in finale against Medvedev at Marseille this year. Remembers me Kyrgios career with his chokes like that

Too much tennis gives you potential injury. Also let us not resort to playing the comparison game. Carlos is not nadal and therefore it is unfair to live in nadals shadow it is not in the best interest for Carlos, is it?

Yes, should be a very exciting match.

@@terencewong4687 I dont think so. Sinner is ruthless and fast! But Alcaraz can play anyone, he even tried to beat his home boy at Roland Garros. Can you imagine?😆

@@afrofeast you dont think its an exciting match, but you sound excited

@@QueArgh Sounding and being aint different?🤔

That's what they said about a lot of other players. Too early to tell. If he's as good as Bautista-Agut that would be a surprise someday.

99th in the ATP rankings right now.

It makes sense why he has so many doubles titles! Would love to him break through some more. Incredible hands at the net.

Its funny cause the other player that comes to mind is his compatriot Gaston. Best hands was ever McEnroe until new technology, strings and was dismantled by Agassi. That was virtually signaled the end of winning via coming into the net. I know Federer did it once to win a tourney in the US I believe, was amazing. But the only modern day player to prove you can win at the net was Rafter. When he won his first US open Agassi called it a fluke. So he repeated it one year later to everyone's astonishment. Pat Rafter wont be forgotten for his handling of killer passing shots at the net. I also believe he left the game prematurely because he couldn't evolve as a good all rounder but where his baseline game lacked certainly made up for it at the net. The problem was you were a sitting duck at the net. and seldom could you win matches consistently. It is frustrating but a better way still to earn a quid than to labor on a building site any time of the day.

I'm excited too but it will be nothing like nole vs rafa

Too early to say that

They aren't baseliners, it will be the opposite.

He doesn’t have a weapon to win big matches with. He’s a great volleyer but volleys are becoming more and more unreliable in this era.

Not a mental thing IMO. The courts are much slower now and it’s more physical. Pace is slower

He’s French lol

You are so right. Could easily have some great wins over top players but always seems to lose these really close matches. Too bad , as his game is really fun to watch.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7FxipqUya-clp8.html

He is

Who?

Are you Aussie?🤣

BT is the goatest of all time, without a doubt.

Facts , none of them are worthy to play against the goat

no, only because the tall guys like Herbert then are able to hit a slice overhead which is less likely to be a winner but more likely to be in play... with a lob like that you are playing soft in my opinion. I like that alcaraz tried to win the point.w the lob

LMAO, the only U25? I mean have you seen this year's performances from Zverev, Ruud, Sinner, Harris, and Hurkacz or what?

@@effeelle91 yes i did, maybe you read to comment wrong though. I did not say right now he's the best of them, i said that he's the one that performs most consistently at his own top level. Sinner and Ruud are mediocre imo, if Zverev played consistently at his top level he would've won some 7 slams by now so... yeah, he's the most consistent, if he keeps consistency while he polishes his game he's gonna beat them all.

​@@luigimanzelli3786 I read what you said and you're wrong. In 2021 Alcaraz failed Marbella, Barcellona, Estoril, Miami, Acapulco, Granada, Kitzbuel, and Cincinnati. Of course, he's only 18. But I'm just commenting what u wrote and there are several others (U25) who have been more consistent this year overall. Then if we talk about potential is another thing.

@@luigimanzelli3786 You clearly don't like Sinner and Ruud, and it's ok, but together they won 9 ATP titles in 11 months this year. They have been extremely consistent.

@@effeelle91 i don't like them cause their tennis is flat and boring, but putting that aside winning ATP 250 and winning nothing makes no difference in my mind if we're talking about becoming a top player, honestly you should not even be playing 250, but we'll see what they can do.

What are you even going on about lol. This dude has made me a fan, but there's no way he's beating out Nadal, zverev, tsisisisipas, ruud, Djokovic, and thiem at rg lol

@@noahhenderson3164 He wont if he has to face all of them but if he has to face only 1 or 2 till the final for me he has a chance to beat anyone but rafa maybe.

@@imadariusmain7311 I just don't think so. He's top ten on hard when he's in the zone. But clay, while he's amazing, he hasnt reached that exponential level some of the great clay players are at I think him and sinner will get there. But it's a couple years off imo. I hope he wins a master's 1000 clay though

@@noahhenderson3164 Well there is nothing more to it we will see when the time comes.

The next Rafa. He's spanish, not serbian.

@@Danielpb82 lol

Looks like djodals son
