Lost the pop on his forehand. Can't get a 1st serve in. He needs to work on his conditioning or he'll lose all these matches vs Alcaraz.

Alcaraz is inspired by the Pacers

Sinner is hobbled but it's his own fault for letting it get to this point in the first place. Should've gone for the head

Even the previously useless drop shot is now working.

If this goes to a 5th set tiebreaker where would this rank as far as ATG Grand Slam Finals? Gotta be up there right

I'm sure there is a PED that can help with that.

Do the line judges get rotated out? No way they've just been standing there for 4 hours right?

Sinner playing through a leg injury is exactly what Bublik says he's not willing to do

If the mark shown was CA's serve then it sucks Sinner didn't get the call. It shouldn't be on Sinner to stop play.

French Open has to implement Cyclops.

He can stop play but if he’s wrong he loses the point. It’s just dumb to not have it. I get tradition but the rules should be uniform across majors imo

No this was almost 6 hours (2012 Aus Open Djokovic-Nadal)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Australian_Open_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_singles_final

Not even all that tight in individual sets so I assume there was a whole lot of OCD time wasting on both sides :lol:

Should have specified, they were referring specifically to French Open.

I think everyone in the tennis world knows and accepts that he didn't do anything intentional.

Why even attempt a drop shot on clay. I hate that shot so much especially from Alcaraz
