Hey all,

I’ve had a really hard time trying to work out why I dislike Alcaraz and Rune. Now please don’t get me wrong, they are great players and they actually seem like really nice guys, and this is why I have been so confused as to why I can’t seem to get on board with them.

That was until, I watched the Djokovic vs Sinner match last night ( what a great match btw!)

Anyway, I think the reason I can’t seem to take to Alcaraz and Rune is because of the constant back and forth with their teams. I know this may sound ridiculous but I find it really annoying, along with the constant fist pumping to them after every point. Watching Sinner play last night was really pleasant as although he is one of the “younger” ones, he doesn’t seem to have that incessant need to chat and communicate to his box after every point.

I’m not sure if I really like the coaching rule as it stands at the moment. It would be really interesting to see how players, such as Alcaraz and Rune would cope without it.

Anyway, that’s my thoughts, as silly as that sounds!

    I like all three of the top young guys: Jannik, Holger and Carlos. The future of tennis is bright with them around.

    I’m not a fan of Ben Shelton’s college style of tennis with excessive c’mons, trash talking and celebrating his opponents faults. A lot of those trash talking incidents were captured on camera and he’s not my favorite for that reason. But he’s got a great serve and can go far. Hope he can cut down on his college tennis behavior while he grows into the pro tennis tour.
