This is over now.

Knees knackered him.

This is over now.

Knees knackered him.

Think it's half in the head as well. He gets so down on himself, and also had that horrendous injury in the French which must still be in his mind.

Agree that it's done though, this has a vast test for Zverev. Looks like his backhand has gone, he's not been rotating his hips and pivoting through that knee since he fell. Sinner is going to destroy him on that wing.

Sure I saw Billy Bunter stuffing his face in the front row just now.

 

[Alice In Wonderland]

I really want this to go to 5 sets!!

 

[Reuben klang]

What a shot to bring up champ point.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Incredible tennis. Sinner just gets to everything and it’s all returned in.

 

[Reuben klang]

Congrats, deserved it really.

Zverev mixing it on the grass.

Need to get Carlos back though.

Nice little speech from Tim Henman then saying farewell to Andrew Castle.

 

[Merlin5]

Congrats Sinner and well deserved. £3.6 million prize. Not bad for a few games of tennis.

Novax out in the first round of the US, lost 6-1 in the 5th.

Novax out in the first round of the US, lost 6-1 in the 5th.

He's clearly got some chronic health issues going on (hence the vomiting). If he'd won the first set tie breaker then he'd probably have won fairly comfortably but he wilted after that 3rd set.

Lol wow

And Tsitsipas breaking a 5-0 streak against Fils - surprised us all

 

[Rimsy]

Alcaraz knocked out by the repungent yank.... possibly record set for latest slam match completed at about 3:30am local time? Tennis is killing itself.....

 

[Reuben klang]

The fact the second biggest tournament in tennis has 8 days between posts tells you everything

 

[moppy89]

Surely french open open is bigger than us.

I find it very difficult to follow this tournament due to the time difference but was fun to follow the commentary this morning

Good job by Shelton, firing down 145mph serves at 3am at the end of a 4 hour matches is impressive stuff

Older event, more prize money, biggest stadiums, pioneered loads of rule changes that makes the game better etc more viewerships on TV. Just the general vibes and New York in general.

I have it:

Wimbledon >>>>>> US > FO > AO

AO quickly becoming more prestigious though with the world getting smaller.

 

[Rimsy]

Mine would be Wimbledon> French and then either of the HC tournaments in no particular order. The US crowds are pretty bad TBF which does detract from things a bit

 

[englishpremier]

Easily Wimbledon, RG, then one of either US Open (for the money), and AO. New York vibes is just a nonsense.

 

[moppy89]

Gotta go with FO as the 2nd most prestigious event (whether that's the "biggest" is another matter I guess), but that might be some unconscious old world/new world elitism!

All I know is I'd rather go watch a match at the french open than at us open
