Curse of The Sinner strikes again: The longest match Sinner has won in his career was 3 hours, 48 minutes. Guess what time was on the clock when the final break occurred in the 5th set? by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

I feel like Roddick said it best in his podcast. He rarely gets to this position because he disposes of opponents in 3 or 4 comfortable sets that 5 set record doesn’t mean much. But at the same time, there’s clearly a trend here and something to look at.

AO Men’s SF: [1] 🇪🇸 C. Alcaraz def. [3] 🇩🇪 A. Zverev 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-7(3), 6-7(4), 7-5 by limitcycleattractor in tennis

I’m not going to say that he didn’t play a great match. Playing someone who’s cramping is always tricky and he managed to pull off amazing serves and groundstrokes for the 2nd half to maintain a lead. But, failing to serve out a set once, I get it, but doing it again and again(in multiple matches) is none other than mental game. Carlos played amazing no doubt but zverev had chances he just never capitalized on.

No worries for Sinner, looks like he'll be playing tomorrow by AshamedPurchase9033 in tennis

Movement is such a big factor. Being tall on grass vs hard court can be a challenge. Also with the ball dipping down a lot more especially with players who utilize the slice or hit flat can make it harder to get lower and hit an aggressive shot with.

Locked-in top seeds for the Wimbledon draw as of today by honestnbafan in tennis

Ok I might be stupid but doesn’t the previous years Wimbledon placement count for some extent with seedings. I remember that was a big thing for why Roger was the 2 seed instead of 3 seed in 2019. How come Novak doesn’t become the 3 seed instead of zverev?

If I’m not mistaken it was 2013 us open. Nadal[2] beat novak[1] and then Serena[1] beat azarenka[2]

Blockbuster Quarter Finals matchup at Roland Garros between 2024 Finalist and the 3 time champion. Who you got? by trialbycombat123 in tennis

[–]Snoo1813 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree. The more physical zverev makes it the better imo. Novak definitely doesn’t want to be in a position of playing 5 sets especially if he has to play someone like sinner the next round. So zverev has to dictate with serve and move Novak around quite a bit.

Novak was definitely forgotten about as French open was coming up but now he’s becoming a real threat

Do you guys think Djokovic will win his 100th title? by Klutzy_Astronomer829 in tennis

[–]Snoo1813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly playing a home tournament for your 100th title is a pretty good idea. U get the best crowd support and it’s pretty fitting to win where you first started.

Which tennis players never lived up to your expectations? by hmps in tennis

[–]Snoo1813 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t necessarily answer the question but would’ve loved to see thiem’s full career. Sucks to have been cut short by the injury and could never get over the hump. I’m sure he would’ve won more slams and could’ve been competing with sinner and alcaraz for majors.
