Tennis: French Open 2025

[kihei]

I didn't think Sinner was feeling much physical distress in the fourth set, but it seems to be hitting him in the fifth set.

Match over if Alcaraz uses the drop shots like this, Sinner can't move

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It's the latter, I troll about the Sinner stuff sometimes but it's evident he doesn't need it be using PEDs to get an advantage or be elite.

If he wins tomorrow, that's 3 straight Grand Slams + clean testing. People are just gonna use it as a gotcha for the rest of his career because they're bitter. I mentioned in the past how WADA should be the ones at fault, they cost Halep her career basically but let Iga/Sinner be able to absolve themselves from the wrongdoing. Tennis players shouldn't be second guessing everything they put in their body, give them a list on what's banned and not banned and make it clean cut that if anything goes into their body with that, it's a year or two ban instead of this grey area bullshit

Sinner certainly doesn't need performance enhancement on the court but I could definitely see him using it for injury recovery.

I completely agree about WADA's role. It's typical of these organizations and why I'm skeptical of Sinner's excuse. He could've been using steroids out of competition for injury recovery and still had some in his system. The drug enforcement organizations and sports organizations are absolutely complicit in turning a blind eye and selective enforcement depending on how much it will affect the sport and more importantly money.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

opposite fo me coco one of most unlikeable players on tour with the us biased media every major

To each their own, but it's hard for me to see how Gauff is the unlikeable one compared to the player who screams every single point in what's a clear violation of the rules, has fairly regular on court meltdowns, and is as ungracious in defeat as Sabalenka was yesterday.

Gauf isn't responsible for how she is covered on broadcasts.

Carlos still up a break but this match feels like it might have another twist to it.

Sinner certainly doesn't need performance enhancement on the court but I could definitely see him using it for injury recovery. ...

Agreed. PEDs can't help a pitcher throw harder (Google it before disagreeing) but it helped guys like Clemens recover faster.

 

[VMBM]

5—5, wow. Would I be a spoiled brat if I wished for a tie-break?!!!

 

[Bourque]

Sinner's not making it easy. Carlos needed to win that game.

 

[kihei]

And right there is that extra twist.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Best match I've watched start to finish since 2008 Wimbledon Final

 

[Mr Rogers]

What a response from Sinner

 

[Bourque]

Sinner has taken all the momentum.

 

[kihei]

Amazingly Sinner looks the stronger player right now.

 

[VMBM]

What a Match! (duh)

 

[kihei]

Carlos looked tired on that backhand.

 

[kihei]

Has to end in a breaker, has to.

 

[PanniniClaus]

The quality is off the charts..

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Deserved ending here with the 5th set super tiebreak

 

[VMBM]

Carlos too good now. Can't believe in any more twists.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Sinner's serve the last 2 matches has let him down big time, he hit Novak off the court but it was never gonna happen v Carlos

 

[Savi]

Producing those kind of rallies after 5 hours is insane

 

[Tony Romo]

Just give us this every major please

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Come on Alcarez, shut that terrorist out

 

[Evilo]

Best RG final ever. Maybe even Grand Slam.

 

[Bourque]

Coco's #1 now & Carlos may join her in the rankings.
