Great match between Alcaraz and Zverev. With Alcaraz getting revenge for Zverev knocking him out of the AO last time.

 

[Showboat]

No idea how Alcaraz will recover for Sunday.
Has to hope for a long game for sinner against Djokovic.
Got Djokovic at 9-1 for £5 but I can’t see him winning this.

Tim is really starting to do my head in.

 

[Reuben klang]

massive lol sinner here btw

Fair play to Novax.

If Carlos isn’t fit he could well be turning 25 on Sunday!!

Incredible from Novak. Just pure grit on his part

 

[booyaka]

Well the final has some pretty big shoes to fill after those 2 semi's....

 

[Showboat]

wow what a match! Looking forward to Sunday

 

[englishpremier]

Absolute top quality between Sinner and Novak, trumps the earlier semi-final. Hopefully both Carlos and Novak are fit and recovered for the final.

1st set in the women's final to Rybakina. Sabalenka having a hard time dealing with the power. Just 37 mins. If the second set goes the same way, it won't be much of a spectacle.

 

[Worthy]

Phwoar blimey. I thought it was over.

 

[scarps]

Brilliant by Rybakina, and the coach, looked down and out at 3-0 and the coach's where's your energy gone talk seemed to wake her up. Just total dominance after that.

She's so calm, just like another day in the office for her after winning.

If (and it's a big IF) Novax wins, do you reckon he retires on the spot? Might as well...

I’m not sure he’ll ever retire.

He should have retired after winning the gold medal, that would have been an epic way to bow out.

I think it’s going to be quite close, it just depends on how well C.A has recovered.

I never understood the talk of retirement. It's not like there is something to protect for him, Nadal, Murray etc.. They are already and will continue to be talked about for decades to come.

Why retire if you're enjoying playing. Same with Stan Warwrinka who is still paying but retiring this season. If you enjoy it might as well keep doing it, given it's only a short year career.

Novak is still the 3rd best player in the world, despite playing less tournaments than much of the competition. Yes, typically he's going to lose to Sinner and Carlos, but has an excellent chance against anyone else on tour.

 

[Reuben klang]

Carlos will be youngest to win all four right?

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Yep and the youngest to win 7 majors on the men's side of the game.

Because the training and lifestyle to maintain any decent level is relentless, you are battering your body and mind non stop. kinda stops being so fun when you’ve been in the spotlight for 30+ years.

Vamos!

Outside of Sinner and Alcaraz, this generation seems pretty dead. The fact Djokovic is still making finals at 38 suggests we're in for a pretty uneventful few years.
