I can see Sinner winning in 3 sets, maybe even 4, but if it goes 5 I like Carlos' chances. I think there is still one tiny question mark about Sinner and I think that question has to do with endurance. Could be wrong but I would like to see the theory tested.
Alcaraz in 4
Sabalenka in 3

It sounds like this is his last year. To paraphrase a Paul Bowles line from The Sheltering Sky, "He knows, he just doesn't yet know that he knows." I mean, if all that matters to him in tennis is chasing GSs, the evidence is pretty clear that now that he is not ranked #1 or #2, he will always risk having to face both Sinner and Alcaraz to get to the title. The high likelihood of that being a futile chase, I can't see him wanting to continue past this year. Get away from the game before your body really gets screwed up. Run for Prime Minister of Serbia or teach your kids drop volleys.

Yeah, Novak is 100% calling it quits after this year. He knows he can't beat Sinner on the hard courts for #25 or even clay to get to a final and he isn't beating Alcaraz in a final at Wimbledon. He's out of options for it.
Thing is, he beats 99% of the tour today but he was matched up with one of the two cyborgs on tour. Those two cyborgs have this sport in a chokehold and he fully understands that.
I 100% have to see the guy at the US Open this year, fingers crossed he's healthy enough to play here come late August/September. If he somehow plays in D.C in a few weeks, maybe take a train down for that as well lol

Women's final. Wishing for Gauff but predicting Sabalenka. I hope it's a good match in any case. But let's not kid ourselves; the tournament is all about tomorrow.
Gauff raises her game and Sabalenka doesn't, simple as that, so we are going to a third set.

3—3.
At least close and dramatic, if not of great quality (after the first set).

The third set was a question of which player would blink first and it was Sabalenka. Coco kept her double faults and forehand errors pretty much in check, at least significantly better than Aryna did, and she deserved to lift the trophy as she was clearly the better player on the day.
Can't wait for the Sinneraz final, first one in a slam and long overdue. As an Alcaraz fan, I usually have the utmost confidence in him in a final but the level Sinner is playing at is scary and makes me think that Sinner is due to beat Alcaraz after 4 straight losses. If he can conquer Alcaraz on clay there's really no limit to how high Sinner's ceiling is because he's the undisputing Hard Court King and his game is tailor made for grass so you'd think at some point that he'll win a few Wimbledons.

Sabalenka is such a petulant child. Glad to see Gauff beat her.
