Reflections on yesterday’s final.
Sinner is indisputably the best indoor player in the world. Relentless precision. Amazing.
Carlos also amazed. He’s gone from clearly neither liking nor thriving indoors to being the second best in the world at it. Exponential growth.
Good luck to the rest.

As we march toward what looks like another Sinner-Alcaraz final, curious to get y’all’s thoughts:
Who has had the third-best season in mens tennis? The fourth-best? And why?

Checks score. Presumes Carlitos blew Felix off the court.

It’s been very hard to imagine anyone beating Carlitos or Sinner at this stage of a tournament for about two years now. Hard to imagine it will be any different today.

Just think. We don’t have to see or hear from Zverev again until 2026. Bliss.

Carlos Alcaraz will be the year-end No. 1 for the second time in his career. Younger to do that at 22 than any of the Big Three

Correct me if I’m wrong but Carlos is now guaranteed 11650 points for making the SF and Sinner would end with 11500 points if he won the tournament undefeated.

Man, I hope Alex can find a way today. Feels like an age since he beat a top ten player. Dude sorely deserves a big win.

Perfect match for Carlitos to bed himself in. De Minaur can’t beat him but can run him around plenty. 32 winners. BHDTL on fire. Looking good. 👍🏻🔥

You gotta think that Carlitos will bring everything he’s got to Turin. He’s not as good as Sinner on indoor hard (no one is) but if he’s feeling it he can take out everyone else and secure #1. Methinks it will be a very spicy week.

15/20% more muscle and power and Tien could be a proper menace.

In truth, Rybakina’s entire vibe reminds me of a Soviet era gymnast. And I can’t say anything sadder and more depressing than that.

Astounding hitting from Rybakina but, I’m gonna say it, not a great match from Aryna. Slices, short angles, droppers. She has them. Felt like ego got in the way. ‘No one hits me off the court’. Rybakina’s an average mover. Make her pay for that vulnerability if you’ve got the tools…

Aryna’s added so many layers to her game and none of them are here. If you’re being wiped from the baseline gotta try something else...

One of the best sets I’ve ever seen Musetti play. Absolutely elite.
But it’s time for Aryna and Elena. Boom.

The Sincaraz practice set in Turin is friendly fire. It’s also the best tennis played anywhere in the world. The speed, power, and dynamism is just surreal.

There’s a limit to my excitement when Pegula’s involved but that was a match. Rybakina erratic as hell but she really banged it when it mattered. 50% of the final is set.
