is this a new generation in tennis starting or just US Open, since big3 domination was lowest on US Open, comparing to Wimbledon, RG and AO

I feel it's more a case of old one giving up. Other than Alcaraz (and potentially Sinner/Aliassime), I don't see any incredible talented youngsters emerging.

In the top 20, we have a lot of decent players that will drop in and out of the top 10 (Tsitsipas, Ruud, Norrie, Zverev, Rublev..), but that is their ceiling. Medvedev is great but he's already 26 years old and hasn't done much with his career so far to be considered a danger to the greats.

Alcaraz has an open path to some easy grand slams if he keeps his current standards.

In the final, Alcaraz played well and proved himself to be a worthy opponent for Rudd. There is no doubt that he is now number one, and I also believe that this is a more deserved position. And if this continues I think he is going to keep the tag of being number one in the world for quite some time. Medvedev is a great player but I also agree that he is not someone who can pose a great amount of threat to the other greats in the game. The future belongs to Alcaraz, at only 19 years of age, he has become the number one athlete in the world. A really good time is coming up for him in my opinion.

I think it's the otherway around, it was Ruud who become a worthy opponent on Alcaraz because the kid is one of the favorite to win the US Open and he did it in fashion at 19 years old and then clinching the number 1 spot in just short amount of time.

So now we have someone on top again, and then we have Medvedev. But it is still very open as who will become the next set of big 3 that will dominate tennis in at least a decade.

Chennai Open WTA have begun yesterday. The last season of the tournament was played back in 2008. Once again this have begun this year on hard outdoor courts in Chennai which is one among the popular cities of India. During the year 2008, it was Serena Williams to win the trophy. This time good players are on the lineup and we're able to see good women's Tennis.

Thats interesting, I will be keeping an eye on this to see who exactly is playing and hopefully
will be able to get a few bets on.

...
Just read an article which says Alison Riske is the highest ranked WTA player attending.
betting on these matches could be tricky though.

congrats to Alcaraz, he is now no.1, and IMO this is much more deserved than Medvedev being no.1

good game with Ruud, but there was hardly a question who will win it in the end, Alcaraz is definitely best talent at the moment, and could win a lot of GS's in the future

is this a new generation in tennis starting or just US Open, since big3 domination was lowest on US Open, comparing to Wimbledon, RG and AO

Your last sentence is exactly what I was questioning myself. And I think it is a new generation that we see here. Alcaraz has only been playing professional tennis for 2 years and at 19 he is already number 1. If his body and his head cooperate he will be able to play at a high level for the next 14 or 15 years.

we can't tell these days, i've seen Alexander Zverev and Thiem play really well and i thought we will see them by now fighting for the top of the leader board, but injuries and missing a lot of competitions because of covid did them really bad, so who knows ? Alcaraz might suffer from an injury that could destroy his career just like what happened to dominik thiem.

So Alcaraz is in the number 1 spot, well done to him.

Congratulations to Alcaraz for winning his first grand slam, and being a young player at 19 years and 4 months. Emotions in the game were seen in the preliminary round and began to relax in the quarterfinals .
congratulations once again to Alcaraz
can't wait to see alcaraz in action at the start of the 2023 season at the Australian Open

Congrats to a new World no.1 and the first Slam winner and many more to come for Carlos Alcaraz. He had a pretty tough draw and played a lot of 5 setters. I don't think if he wasn't as young as he is, that he'd have been able to physically make it until the end. Something only elite and chosen athletes could do. He is one of them now.

Surely a great achievement for this Spanish player who is now going to rule the world with his game just 19 years old and have 2019 rank nearly 490 now just after three years at the top of this world great achievements and many more coming in pipeline if he plays like this in future because his quality and skills are much better than many others which are here in this circuit for many years but sadly not achieve results like this which achieved by this teen Carlos Alcaraz in few years.

He completely outclasses Ruud in last two sets where many were expecting tough fight between these two, but superior quality helps him to win this match without any big trouble, and he has done these 14 Aces and just 3 serve breaking are not easy for any teen but this kid done congrats for this win and good luck for future.

Just like Rafael Nadal who also won his first grand slam at same age as he is now in 2005, There's a big future ahead for the young lad. Just 19 and so promising. It's a big win and a boost to his confidence for future grand slams. He is number 1 right now and to stay at the top requires a lot of work, I hope he realizes the responsibility ahead and is able to stand up to it.

Congrats to Alcaraz for winning his first grand slam and if he can continues like this, he will win some more but lets see how he can handle the pressure of the nr 1 spot also. He will get a lot more media attention and the pressure/expectations will be much higher than before, which is not always easy to cope with.

Did you watch Ruud in this US Open? Before this tournament I would tip on Alcaraz winning 3:0 with all sets taken comfortably. Don't know how he improved his game on hard surface so much, but Ruud looks much better at the moment. Serve and forehand were always good but now he added world class backhand and he is sliding and catching everything thrown his way.

Ruud is usually very stable player and I see this match as Rudd playing his own game all the time with Alcaraz over-performing and under-performing in different parts of the match. Feel like we will se a lot of small turnarounds in this match but I really hope Alcaraz will win it in the end. He is much more entertaining too watch

Mostly highlights, but I caught a few sets as well. I agree that he raised his game, but I also think that he's not a type of player that will have good results in his career against players like Alcaraz if he plays the way he's been playing so far.

I am about to watch the highlights of the final, but when I see the result it is exactly what I expected. It looks like Alcaraz was better in all clutch moments, which will almost always happen if you are the player that's dominating the tempo and rhythm.

I feel that Alcaraz would have had more problems with Khachanov for example - in a match where the points are shorter, the rhythm is much more disrupted and where it's much harder to get in the zone.

Wow guys. Just the Open I decide not to follow, and then it's the one where Ruud loses his grab at #1 and Alcaraz takes the big one. Didn't know it was almost 50 years since a teen sat atop the rankings, but with the way it's all changed, I guess he really benefited from the way ranking points are tallied now?

Worth his weight, 3 epics to reach this stage, shame on me for not following!

To answer Trofo, no I took Jabeur on a +4.5 handicap and she lost with a 5 game deficit.

The commentators on Amazon Prime were saying Jabeur was suffering from nerves, hence
the dismal result of the first set.

I think many people including the audience thought and wanted a "closer" match. Well done
to Swiatek though, as they said she is a brilliant front runner and that was the case.

Did not watch the whole match, just second set but I don't agree with those commentators you listened to. Brilliant front runner would not have dropped break advantage twice and miss 2 championship balls before the tie break. That second set was swinging all the time and it could have ended just as easily for Jabeour.

I am never betting counter handicaps against Swiatek, there isn't a girl on tour at the moment that can match Swiatek at 100%. Granted we got some weaker performances here and there, especially in the weaker tournaments but every time I am watching her play it is all about her.

Main thing coming up in few hours, cant wait for it but I already know it will be a long match and there is no way I see it to the end and get to work tomorrow morning. Match is starting 10PM my local time and this could be another 5 setter for Alcaraz easy. I have bet on ALcaraz ML, since I can't believe Ruud can be no.1 no matter how much he improved his hard game

And I have over games/sets on some other tickets. If I had to guess result I would say 3:2 for Alcaraz after almost 5 hours of great tennis.

I agree about Swiatek in this match but like all great champions she found a way through.
She now has double the points of Jabeur who is in the number 2 position.

For the mens final I took two bets, one on Alcaraz ML and one on Ruud +5.5 and both worked
out. The big second set win and the tie break in the 3 set helped.

They are both interesting players (I mean, they defeated top 2 italians Grin

Berrettini and Sinner) but the "explosive" tennis played by Alcaraz will give more chance to him despite sometimes he has "difficulty concentration" during the match... likewise loss 6-2 second set Sad

Now he is leading the third set (one break) so let's see if he is able to achieve this tournament.
There are many "prize" not only monetary to be won this time ... and the Spaniard could become the historical youngest player N1 of ATP !

Very good bitbollo! I like the Italian connection!

So Alcaraz is in the number 1 spot, well done to him.

The match looks like the real final, because both are giving the best and the third set have reached the tie breaker which lets to find who leads the game. Finally it is Alcaraz Garfia to win the set 6⁷-6¹. As expected the young player will make record winning the match.

the match ended in that tiebreaker, Ruud made 3 consecutive enforced errors at the beginning and it obviously destroyed his confidence to comeback and try, but props to Alcaraz as well, he's still just 19 but he performs well under pressure.

Finally the match ended with Alcaraz winning the US Open 2022. Hope his success continues in the upcoming events. After losing the second set he made a good fight to win the third set. As said, the errors from Ruud gave hands and let him have a pressure free fourth set. The scores at the end Ruud 4-6 6-2 6¹-7⁷ 3-6 Alcaraz Garfia.
