BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, CA, 2023 - ATP Masters 1000

Come on Jannik you have to hold here, 2 good 1st serves please
Jannik cant buy a first serve at the moment

 

[Moxie]

Ridiculously, Charlie almost made that.

 

[kskate2]

Even he was shocked he didn't make it Mox. LOL

Talk about moxie. He expects all his shots to go in. Oh the confidence of youth...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Phew Sinner held, when his first serve deserted him

 

[Moxie]

Jannik hangs on, and somehow I feel a break is still to come.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Sinner’s 1st serve % throughout this tournament has been horrible. There was only 1 match in which he served above 55% that was against Fritz in QFs.

The only good thing is that he is serving bigger but the accuracy and consistency are still not there yet!

It's why the youngsters are so dangerous. All belief, and the years stretch out in front of them.

With this rivalry, that's almost a certainty. Charlie loves to throw in a clunker here and there.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcaraz using that wide kicker serve again to perfection

 

[rafanoy1992]

Well, congratulations to Alcaraz and his fans.

As for Sinner, it was still a confidence booster of a tournament for him! Great thing is he looks healthy and hopefully he continues his good form at Miami and Monte Carlo.

It's not over yet. Charlie has had hiccups when serving matches out.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A couple of great fhands from Sinner and he will make Alcaraz serve out the match 5-3

Oh, it’s over. Congrats to you and Alcaraz.

 

[kskate2]

Welp, very entertaining match. A few spots of bother for Jannik to work on but still a great tournament for him. Cahill will get him ready for the spring and summer series.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This has been a high quality SF from these 2 players in Alcaraz and Sinner
I really enjoy watching their matches
Alcaraz 76(4) 63 and now he has a chance to win IW and become the No 1 player ( again)
Keep working hard Sinner!

 

[Moxie]

Oh, it’s over. Congrats to you and Alcaraz.

OK, now it's over. For the record, though, I, like Miss Margaret, am pretty keen on both of these players. Flip a coin, this was my choice today. But didn't you say that this SF would be a good step up for Sinner? I think it is!

I am not totally disappointed about Sinner’s loss at all. In fact, I did say an Alcaraz/Medvedev path will be too much for Sinner at this stage.

At the very least, he reach the IW SF and defeated a player he is supposed to beat (Fritz).

 

[Moxie]

Here's one thing I'll say about the final: at least Alcaraz didn't fluff his lines at the finish. And he had arguably the harder opponent, at least from his perspective.

 

[kskate2]

What's the H2H for Meddy vs Carlito?

 

[rafanoy1992]

Anyways, see you guys in 6 months…

Peace out!
