2023 Wimbledon QF: Safiullin vs. Sinner

[tented]

Who wins?

 

[Kieran]

Never heard of the newbie but he’s already 25 and has no pedigree. Sinner to get through in four..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I will be disappointed if Sinner cant win this match up in straight sets

I hope he does, but I voted 4.

4 is very possible, but I went with the optimistism of a straight-sets win. He's going to need it, and I think the moment starts to get to Safullin.

Hangs head I also voted in 4 just in case

I often vote "heart" in these things. Let's face it, there's no money on the line, and it doesn't embarrass me to be wrong. What the heck, huh?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay I am now tuning into the match with my younger Italian Sinner!
Sinner won the 1st set 64
Of course the moment I am watching Sinner is down love 40 on his service game lol!
Roman gets the break back 3 all 2nd set

Interesting serving stats for Sinner:

 

[rafanoy1992]

What the heck man?! He was up 3-1 and lost 5 straight games to lose the 2nd set!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sinner needs to regroup after having the break in the 2nd set, produces too many UFE and loses it 6-3

It was a poor 2nd set from Jannik

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik you need to re-group and stop over hitting for starters

 

[rafanoy1992]

I am serious IF Sinner loses this match...then I would lose hope in him in future slams. He CAN NOT give this opportunity away!

Of course not, quite frankly he should have beaten this -player in SS, his draw opened up, he has to take the advantage he was given,

Yeah that second set was kinda revealing..

 

[rafanoy1992]

This is why I was cautious about Sinner's chances because for him, as of right now, he can't even take advantage of an "easy" draw. He needs to show that he can manage a "easy" draw first before I say anything superlative.

 

[tented]

Is anyone familiar with Safiullin? (It looks like someone sneezed while typing “Safin”)

 

[rafanoy1992]

I am very curious to see on how Sinner handles this 4th set especially if it is 4-all.

He’s through in straight sets.
