It is never a mistake to play your best and try to win every match. Even if he loses the final tomorrow, what he should’ve done will be to play better in the final, not to tank his match in order to eliminate Djokovic.
With his fantastic natch play during the week, and the momentum of a winning streak, Jannik must have been highly motivated to reverse that negative H2H against Rune and put himself on that board.
Fans and writers that thought Sinner would tank that match against Rune have possibly never played any sport, forget about competitive sport. It’s shameful that a few fans and tennis pundits expected ATP #4 to deliberately lose a match. 🤦🏽♀️
I hate it. It’s so disrespectful to Rune, like he’s a sure runover in the final and similar shit.
People writing and talking about this never played any sport competitively, let alone tennis, the sport that’s individual and so mental that you simply can’t allow yourself to do these calculations.
They don’t get it. Sinner will not have a single doubt, win or lose. He wouldn’t be in this situation or any final at all if he was this type of person.
Well said
Imagine getting criticized for not letting your opponent get a free win
