I expect Alcaraz to take this one. Sinner's horrible tennis IQ, suspect fitness, and mental frailty will let him down yet again.

Huge match this. This is the premier rivalry for next decade. In these conditions though think I favour alcaraz just as he will extract errors off Sinner I would think.
Hopefully sinner Roasts this Talentless Carlos kid again just like Wimbledon.

I voted for Sinner but heart ruling head a little bit. I agree that Alcaraz is favourite, prob 60-65% chance he wins. Those 2 and Rune make for an exciting post Djokodal future that's for sure

Honestly not seeing with Rune at all. While I love Stan and hugely respect his career, for Rune to lose to this Stan at what is generally considered the 5th Major in respect of annual events is a shocker it really is and I just don't see him ever winning a slam. Korda I would think will have a better career.
Alcaraz and Sinner are the real deal. I've rated them both for a few years. I did think Sinmer would win AO this year but he was not match fit in January but he looks right back on it now as does Alcaraz.
Huge match. Could well be the FO final as well draw depending.

I hope Sinner wins but I agree Alcaraz seems better suited to grind him out.

Really excited for this one. Want Alcaraz to win but like both immensely. If it was Miami I'd be backing Sinner but IW I'm just backing Carlos.
Will gonthe distance I'd think

Rune seems unstable when challenged, that loss and near loss vs the ghost of prime Wawrinka tells a little about his personality , he doesn't like to be tennis bullied . And Alcaraz-Sinner are both shotmakers. Regardless , he looks like a decent 3rd party .

Sinner gets a good chance to knock off Carlos here.
I think he can do it in 3.

He's already won a masters title at just 19. I think he'll be a top challenger in the future.
That being said he does need to grow up mentally and mature. I didn't like what I saw against Stan at all. Hopefully he does because if he's still acting this way in a few years it's going to start becoming impossible to defend him, but I do see him winning a slam in the future if he can put it all together.
Overall I do think Alcaraz, Sinner and Rune will win a slam, with Alcaraz being the most successful, probably 6+ slams for him

Sinner please kick his ass, if not you, then Medvedev will have to do it.

I mean, I'd take your incorrect definition of "brat" over calling Alcaraz "talentless" any day.

Rune is still very young you have to remember and only starting to make his mark last year. I was really impressed when he beat Djokovic.
He has it all and and as he matures and develops further his game he'll be a top player. A loss here and there is normal but he truly has potential. I still see him along with Alcaraz and Sinner as the next big three.

Looking forward to this one, no idea who wins nor do I have a preference on who wins - I just hope it goes to a 3rd set

We all hope another classic beckons! The match up is great here with both having routes through the other. Equally both seem to bring the best out in each other. I'm going to pick Sinner here. There's something tougher and more resilient about him this year and that was all that was missing in the US Open QF loss last year. Let's see. Either one of them would be a worthy winner. Forza 🦊!
