I wonder what the odds were on him when he went 2 sets down to Medvedev?
@4.6 took them without hesitation. tail end of second set already showed that Sinner finally started playing and he was the player in the best form during whole AO. I mean before today he only lost 2 games on his serve and he played 4 sets against Djoković.
Was writing about it, but in different thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.63571325Oh wow Trofo, that was a great move.
Yea Sinner had only dropped 2 sets before the final and I guess if you were watching
and able to see his game improving it would be a great move.
2 sets down though is a lot to claw back from, the only one I can remember doing
it in a grand slam is Djokovic...
Yeah, I didn't watch the first 3 sets (was playing football), but we sat for a drink after it and it was kinda obvious that Sinner will turn things around.
I don't know how Medvedev got 10 breeak points in the first 2 sets, I recall only 1 in the last 2 sets and that was calmly taken care off by Sinner.
I'm glad he won it, I've been telling everybody how good he actually is for the last 2-3 years. He's finally starting to show it - and he's still got room to improve. I hope he pushes Alcaraz for the no. 1 spot.
Jannik Sinner, who won his first grand slam title in this tournament, to tell you the truth, upset the tennis romantics, including me, a little bit. First he completely paralysed djokovic in the semifinals, djokovic was eliminated without even a break of serve point. His opponent in the final, Medvedev, is not from the generation of the nadal-federer-djokovic big three, but he is one of the stars of the next generation, which we can make a trio as medvedev-zverev-berrettini, and he has been playing in such finals for years. When Sinner didn't show any presence at all in the first two sets of the final match, I was in a good mood, there are still some points for him to improve, but what did this guy do; he took the next three sets and won the match. Jokes aside, it was a great success for him and I enjoy this fresh breath in tennis.
Well I guess we have to move forward already, I mean, this is the new generation of tennis players, Djokovic is one man standing for the great generations they have. But now it's very different era and so the young guns are finally taking over.
Just hard breaking lost by Medvedev, but this is how someone become a champion. They elevated their games, just like the greats, Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. And as what @aoluain said, we've seen Djokovic giving up 2 sets early and then make a great comeback. So this one is for the books and congrats to those who ride on him after being down with that great odds.
Yup and those young guns are Sinner, Alcaraz, Rune and Medvedev, and it will be
interesting to see what Zverev can do as the season progresses.
