Dominant tournament from Carlos to disprove his HC critics after a failure in the spring HC swing.

Sinner was a level (or two) below his Wimbledon best.

Curious to see if Carlos can transition this form to indoor HC as well.

Seriously most of this board needs to retire since you’re all so fucking clueless or just blinded by tardism or both…

pathetic
You might be right but your record on predictions is no better than Alcaraz on HCs in the first half of this year.
 
Sinner didn't come to play. His reaction after the match kind of showed that. He didn't even seem to care he lost . Could be injury (Suffered during the FAA match), or he has just thrown in the towel mentally against Carlito
I think it's simpler than that.

These guys are just not THAT hungry. It's happened in football where there's so much money, most players don't see losing as a big deal.

Federer had this thing about prize money at the lower end of the rankings being low for a reason (to make players fight for the big prizes) and while you might disagree, the ridiculous money Sinner and Alcaraz get for hitting a ball makes it easier for Gen Z to just be alright after a couple of hours after a supposed historic defeat that would leave the Big 3 fuming for a few days.
