I think Roger was also breaking in the ”new era” of tennis. Power players, serve and volleyers, clay court grinders. He was all of this mixed together, maybe that’s one reason for only one title by 20. Turned out he did it better than anyone, until that serbian dude outlasted them all
Most titles most likely. US and Wimbledon he might tie, I don’t see him being on this level for another 2 seasons. Match wins definitely not
I understand that but through a screen the you still don’t catch the speed as it is. Also this angle not being properly centered was super annoying. I feel like this is a cool little trick with the camera to show a different perspective but how about giving this one at the start of the set.
I mean they should pretty much name this tournament after Djokovic by the end of his career, BUT there’s an outside chance he doesn’t make it out of the group. Rune always a tough customer against him and if Sinner can play at the level he’s been playing for the past 2ish months. Djoko has had some slow starts from time to time, let’s see.
Disclaimer: he’ll most likely go 3-0 without dropping a set, but that’s why it’s an outside chance
I thought Shang would’ve been consistently better this year already. Lot’s of power in todays game and maybe his slight frame is one of the reasons why it’s taking a little longer to develop his game.
Prizmic looks like the modern prototype, both physically and game wise. Shot making and athleticism reminded of a certain balkan player who has one a few slams in his day.
Lajal has a really entertaining style of play, a tad older than 2 and 3. Popped out to the challenger scene last year, will be interesting to see if he can crank it up a notch.
Mensik looked good in the US open, big game but as a bigger guy he’ll have to figure out the physical side for opposite reasons than Shang. Game looked good though.
So ridiculously hard to predict anything in tennis these days when it comes to young up and coming guys though. So much of it is purely mental, and not knowing what’s going on behind the scenes makes predicting nearly impossible. If I’d have to bet who will have the best career I’d go Prizmic.
