He already had off 3 months this year or whatever and still didn't fix his rotten serve

And that helped him peak for FO and Wimbledon (at least from the baseline). I would say that ban paid off, but his fitness is still not Big 4 level or Sampras level. He needs more strength training. That chicken wing shoulder of his isn't ideal for consistent big serving. It's too weak. He needs to gain more muscle; otherwise, Alcaraz will be serving bigger than him more consistently.

He looked great at RG overall . Wimbledon I think he would have lost to Dimitrov straight sets. He really looked clueless against variety. He really needs a coach to fix his serve, get more variety to his game, and counter variety. If not alot of guys are going to start deploying variety against him and unlock the key to beating him

Sinner has two choices basically.. Either get a better return of serve and break more often or get a great serve himself. If not, he may never win another slam (If Alcaraz has actually become consistent now and keeps his serve good). Sinner is already 24. After 24-25, thats when the downhill slide begin and he is a little and lanky to make me think hes gonna have some long tennis career and have success into his 30's, Of course, I'm not convinced Carlos has a long one either. How's he gonna look when he slows and this peak athleticism he showing is finally gone?

So what if Sinner improves his service like Alca did (supposed USO wasn't just a one-time serving wonder for Alca, of course)?

I thought heard he was already having shoulder issues? Thats not good and could prevent him for ever developing a great serve

I've heard the same thing numerous times, but only Sinner himself and his team know where the truth is.

there must be some truth to it judging by his US Open performance basically all tournament. He was the heavy heavy odds on favorite and looked pretty bad honestly
