Sinner is basically just a better Rublev and today was not even that much better. 48% of first serves is simply not acceptable at this level and the fact that his serve top speed is 10-15km/h less than Alcaraz also doesn't help.

Congrats to Alcaraz who was not just the better player during this match but also across the entire tournament. He has reached a new level in the hardcourts, so I now believe that he can become an ATG.

So where are all the fools talking about Sinner is way superior to Carlos and would win a CYGS.

Where are all the fools claiming Carlos needed a new coach.

Where are all the fools claiming Carlos would never return to number 1.

Where are all the fools claiming Sinner would always be better because he is taller.

Are there favorite, the love to talk about the serve. Carlos looked like the best serve in the world out there. Meanwhile Sinner was out there serving like a WTA player.

You got the feeling the Sinner camp was doing way, way too much talking instead of just watching their guy play.

Sinner is obviously a great player and win more slams. But I felt like Sinner ( or at least his fans/team) needed this dose of humble pie. I think he'll become a
better player & hopefully person because of this beating.

And to be clear it was a beating, it wasn't close. Yes Carlos lost focus and lost the second set but other than that he could do nothing out there.

something definitely wrong with sinner, most likely physically.

it’s telling that his box was mostly silent, if they knew he was healthy they would have been more active trying to change the match.

but congrats to the newcomer servebot of the tour

39-year-old King put up a better fight against Carl than 24 yo King of HC

 

[Weakerer]

Well, not much for me to say here apart from: Congrats to all Alca fans out there! He almost did 40-15, but eventually won.

Enjoy ur rekt tard 🤣

Sinner’s playing style is not sustainable.
He is running out of gas basically.

 

[ballbasher101]

Too good from Carlos. Sinner was never there. Poor from him. Carlos serving like Sampras. Poor match though.

 

[sliceBackhand55]

Unreal tournament from the young king.

As I have said before Sinner looks unbeatable against anyone but Carlos.

 

[MIMIC]

Very clutch from Alcaraz. Sinner’s first serve really let him down but Alcaraz maintained a pretty high level throughout.

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.

Well done Charlie, good on ya mate

Stays ahead of Nadal achievements by age

slam count at 22 years and 4 months

Alcaraz = 6
Nadal = 5
Federer = 1
Djokovic = 1

Bald Carlito is unbeatable

 

[BullGOAT]

Still nobody has defended a US Open since 2008!

 

[WhistleCleaner]

Oh wow! He did it!

Well, I’m ecstatic! What a win, what a triumph, I can’t think of anything else to say! Best result of the tournament

 

[Ttohph21]

Well done Carlos!

Too good from Alcaraz in this match, especially in terms of the plus-one and the baseline consistency. The good serving was just a bonus.
Sinner not good enough today, too errant when it mattered most, not focused enough on key points on the return of serve. He had to do better on the 2nd serve return points which he didn't. His serve didn't do the damage it usually does against Alcaraz, not only because of the 1st serve percentage.

Congratulations to Alcaraz and his fans for winning his second US Open title, a convincing one for a change. Congratulations for coming back to the #1 position as well.

It was a pretty good Grand Slam season for Sinner as well. But he will have to find better levels of execution against Alcaraz outside of grass in order to get the H2H going back in his way. There is no excuse for losing this match the way he did.

Alcaraz's consistency and conversion rate in finals is a nightmare to watch as a Sinner fan, but respect for finding clinical tennis during this tournament and overall.

 

[M. Mecir]

Pretty decent result for a player many renowned MTF tennis experts claim: 1) cannot play tennis on a hard court, 2) sucks with a roof on top.

 

[german_tennisnerd]

Alcaraz was superior in all regards. His serving was fantastic and much improved, he played so ferocious on the forehand and he was again so creative in his point construction. Sinner didn’t find the level he needed today, his serve and groundstrokes weren’t up to par. A shame this final didn’t match their awesome US Open match from a few years ago.

Congrats to Carlos!

 

[Dazu]

A much less exciting final than I was hoping for without even one 7-5 but Alcaraz was very impressive. Hard for Sinner to beat the Spaniard with 48% 1st serves in.
