I don't want to hear anything about choking.but Sinner babied that overhead but it's easy to say when You're not on the court

With an Ace well done Altmier!

 

[kskate2]

well he ends it w/ an ace, which is what his opponent should have had more of.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am not surprised with Sinner's loss as I said before the tournament started he would not go far, after Meddy went out his draw opened up, though he did not and could not take advantage of it.

For the last time he was Not Carrying an Injury in Rome, if he did I would have said so okay, apparently you dont know Sinner a;ll that well I have followed him as a junior I know his strengths and I also know what has to be done to get his physical shape up, he has always been a thin athlete and was a junior ski champion, had to make up his mind ski or playing tennis.

Listen, forget about it. It’s not me you need to clarify things with, it’s the poster you abused. It was a straightforward and honest interpretation of your words. To say they were spouting BS was both rude and unfair.,

Well Altmaier just prevailed in that slugfest ; I dunno does a brain fart count as an “injury” because Sinner is not sleeping well tonight, seeing how he lost a match he should have wrapped up more than hour ago.

It's like Marathon runners train to run longer than 26 miles, because nervous energy on the day burns up a bit of zest...

Of course, but what I think Becker meant is even if fully physically conditioned & prepared, it still comes out to your mental strength in the crunch.

Looks like it was the only way for him to finish this, but well done, it's not easy. omg guy is tears, but he is a german.

Oh yeah. I can only imagine the nerves in a fifth set match in a slam. Especially a top player struggling against a lower ranked lad who’s hit a streak and has nothing to lose…

He deserved his win, he played to win, unlike Sinner who was too passive, his return game was poor and also his serve

Thats your opinion, I am not discussing this anymore okay, thanks

Sinner was looking disinterested all match long,furthermore he looks like he is not well..

I think this RG proves how small are differences between top 10 and top 200. When your opponent is swinging freely with nothing to lose and you as a favorite start playing tentative and you get scared a bit it's a recipe for an upset.

He was beaten by a better player, he was too passive and played to lose, not played to win

IMO, this is the epitome of the new definition of Karma! Sinner was winning comfortably, but was "smelling himself!" I hate excessive fist pumps, esp. fake ones while eye-balling an opponent! You can win with all that gesticulating! It makes a person feel rotten, but it all turned in that 4th set! I have lit'l to no sym,pathy for Sinner even though he's the future of tennis w/ Alcaraz & Rune!

Agree, also are the courts too slow to you at present? Sinner played to lose, not to win.

You said that before. See how difficult it there’s trying to interpret what you really mean?
