Rogers Cup 2023, Toronto, Canada - ATP Masters 1000

[MargaretMcAleer]

It was a fantastic point

It was okay, I suppose it shows he can rally

Ciao, nehmeth! Far from clean, but got the job done. Honestly, I think Tommy Paul is showing good stuff.

I like the guy. He may get outplayed, but he’s a competitor. Had a good week.

Another incentive for Sinner tomorrow: IF he does win tomorrow, he will reach a career high ranking no.6 on Monday. In addition, he will only be behind Rune for the no.5 ranking by 65 points.

What's interesting about it too is that Sinner has a very good opportunity to be seeded 4th at the US Open.

But before all of that, he needs to win tomorrow first.

 

[nehmeth]

Picking Sinner in two. Both may be a little nervy going for their first 1000 title. Sinner can outhit a counterpuncher and I think he’ll settle in faster than the Aussie.

Jannik Sinner is the first Italian to reach the Toronto final in the Open Era, also he is trying to become the youngest champion since Zverev (20)in 2017
Sinner has a H2H 4-0 against Alex de Minaur
This would be a wonderful early birthday present if Jannik can win the title today, his birthday is on August 16.
Buona Fortuna Jannik!

LOL! I live in Aussie that is all, dont you dare jinx my young Italian if you know what is good for you no?

 

[the AntiPusher]

I'm sticking with D-Man.. although Cahill has been coaching Janik very well

This is the problem, isn’t it, we’re all gonna be walking on eggshells around @MargaretMcAleer in case we cheer a point but discover she’s switched sides again and we made an enemy!

Fergus should tell them before they began the warmup "if you hit a ball and it isn't returned by the opponent You can run into the non singles part of the net " jajaja

I still cant believe that rule, oh well

 

[rafanoy1992]

It is mind-boggling to see Sinner can't consolidate a break.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well I didnt mind that topspin lob winner from Sinner, though he cant consolidate a break, bites tongue

 

[rafanoy1992]

What is interesting (or frustrating) about Sinner since Friday is that he is playing well except when he has a break lead. For some reason, he can't seem to find the correct level when having a break lead.

 

[nehmeth]

One down, one to go.

 

[Fiero425]

One down, one to go.

Alex broke himself to drop that set! They're both running each other ragged! The pts. are so intense & surprising good! It's almost entertaining!

Pizzaboy is too strong for little Alex

 

[Moxie]

One game away! I've been distracted since the early break. This set has gone past. Forza, Jannik...serve it out!

 

[nehmeth]

Sinner’s beating Dimwit like Novak did in Oz.
