buutterr Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 10-1 in finals and 10-0 in finals without losing a set is something else. So much for the WTA uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyandground Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Carlos Nadal's Heir Apparent has arrived? Casper Just six months ago, who even considered Casper a serious contender in slams? Now he's been in two slam finals! His progress is astonishing and Casper should be proud of himself! I believe Casper will continue to work hard and surprise us even more soon This decade so far: 3 new USO Champions in a row while the other 3 slams are still Djoker-Nadal exclusive. The Djoker-Nadal reign isn't over yet Let's see if things will change in 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foundations of his game is very much the Rafa/spanish blueprint of baseline attack/defense, but he also comes to the net to attack and volleys well.

Marla Singer Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Carlos! What a hell of a run to a maiden grand slam title and becoming #1: R4: Beats a former champion Cilic 6-4 3-6 6-4 4-6 6-3, in 4 hours QF: Beats a rival and one of the best players of his generation Sinner 6-3 6-7 6-7 7-5 6-3, in a 5+ hour epic that goes well past midnight, saving a match point SF: Beats the home favourite in the form of his life Tiafoe 6-7 6-3 6-1 6-7 6-3 in over 4 hours in another match that goes past midnight F: Wins a high stakes match (1st GS and #1 on the line for both finalists) against one of the most consistent players Ruud 6-4 2-6 7-6 6-3 Ruud was really outplaying Alcaraz in set 2 and most of set 3 and it felt like Alcaraz was just clinging on, saving multiple set points, but then he took the tiebreak after losing all the other tiebreaks he played this week. He won the tiebreak that mattered the most. So clutch. Tennis needed Alcaraz this year, he routinely plays showstopping points and shots during every match and has the physical and mental toughness of the big 3. With 1ga dominating the woman's game as well and winning without even really playing her best the last couple of weeks, this feels like a transitional year.

pride4jc1222 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I will always believe that had Federer won the 2019 Wimbledon final over Djokovic, he would have retired on top immediately following the match. Federer had very little left in the tank after that, and I think he even knew that (even if he is reluctant to admit it). I will treat any appearance after the 2019 Wimbledon final as Federer's farewell to the slams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
