That's like a broken record over here today. Someone else was talking about players deserving something.
I didn't say that Ruud deserves to be in the final. All I said was that it was early to say THIS match should have been the final. To be clear.

Nice finish there from Charlie. Midnight here. I'm sensing 2:30am finish, again.

In the end, I think Sinner’s serve is too weak to win this match. But at least he won the 2nd to make it competitive.

Charlie is going to rue it if he can't capitalize on these BPs again.

EDIT: Yet he DOES get the break!

Cahill has to get him into the gym in the off season build some muscle and make that serve more explosive for starters, he is tall player, we both agree it should be better

I am kinda wish he doesn’t play a lot of the tournaments after US Open, but I think he will play a lot though because Cahill wants Sinner to get used to the tennis tour grind.

If he's fit, why wouldn't he play? Also, he hasn't lost this match yet.

Oh well I guess Cahill knows what he is doing, he said Sinner was a hard worker etc, Cahill would not take him on for starters if Sinner wasnt up for the task.

It’s not that I don’t want him to play, it’s just the “off-season” for tennis short. I definitely want Sinner to have a true off-season build block training session with Cahill. Not just let’s do at the end of season after you play all of these tournaments.

If Alcaraz happens to win this match up he will be my favorite to win the USO he has more game to me than the other 3 also I feel these courts suit his game to a tee.

If Sinner wants to stay in the 3rd set, the next return game will be it. Because Alcaraz won’t lose serve while serving for the set, that’s for sure.

We will see if Sinner will make a push here, if not, Alcaraz will take the 3rd set.
