It actually reminded me more of a Federer-Djokovic rivalry. Alcaraz was so deadly with his forehand and spectacular on the net, thought missing many neutral backhands and Sinner rock solid from both sides but not agressive enough. Thats what Federer and Djokovic looked like
@@АндрейШелест-т8в not really how it went in terms of the results in those tournament finals tho. 19 played between them, didn't win even 1/3 of them. Never mind Fed's crazy career 1 win from 10 in tournament finals with a deciding set tiebreak - oof.
In order to stay healthy for a long time or to prevent new injuries, Alcaraz must improve the weaker segments of his game first and second serves (improving the consistency, techniques, efficiency, quality, power and speed of the serve, accuracy, precision, covering skills so that the opponent can hardly read and when hitting the ball from the backhand or forehand side on the grass and concrete flat, catch or hit the ball very early in the rise, so you take time for your opponent to react, deep and accurate near the baseline without heavy topspin unlike clay with heavy topspin like Nadal, when you return the opponent's serve on clay and on other surfaces, regardless of whether the first or second is closer to the baseline and not the whole match a few meters behind the line like Nadal and when you receive the second serve of the opponent or you have a chance to attack, be aggressive, that is, attack that serve with an excellent return hitting the winner or you are the one who should dictate the point in the match so that the opponent is on the defensive and you are on the attack, and not the whole match a few meters behind the line so that you defend and the opponent attacks you as in the case with Djokovic at the Olympics, regardless of the fact that clay is a slow surface, your style of play or tactics should be a mixture of defensive and offensive style and not exclusively defensive style like Nadal. On the other hand, on grass and concrete should only be an offensive style with an occasional path or a rare use of a defensive style of play, since all his other shots are top-notch and there is no need to improve) and change the tournament schedule. His service is not of high quality and he needs to work on it so that it is a top weapon (aces, unreturnable serves that the opponent does not return to the court, free or easy points without playing and achieving a strategic advantage in points). Regardless of the fact that he has worked on this shot over the years, it is not enough and he still needs to improve in this segment of the game. Alcaraz needs a top serve because he is a short player and to conserve energy (his body will be preserved like Federer's or Sampras' for most of his career and he won't have constant problems with injuries like Nadal). Sampras, Federer and Edberg had top serve and are similar heights to Alcaraz (height 185 cm compared to Alcaraz's height 183 cm). Sampras' serve was very strong or powerful and fast and of equal quality to the serve of high players (Karlović 2,08 cm , Isner 2,08 cm, Ivanišević 193 cm, Rodik 188 cm or Becker 191 cm). Edberg's and Federer's serve was not as strong and fast compared to the previous mentioned players but also top-notch or of equal quality. Also, Federer's serve was superb, but it was difficult to read. Carlos' serve should be of equal quality or in the same range as previous high or low players. For the serve, you have three options: the first is to replace Ferrero with some excellent player with a superb serve to improve your shot (Sampras, Ivanisevic, Federer, Roddick, Nadal version from us open 2010 or Becker), the second is to copy the service technique of some of these players if Ferrero remains in the team as the head coach and the third is to bring another player that I mentioned earlier into the team in addition to Ferrer. Ferero is superb on clay and maybe he should stay in the team but it doesn't have great results on grass and concrete and he cannot improve his serve so that it becomes a top weapon like the other segments in the game, since Ferrero himself did not have a top serve during his career. The tournament schedule should be as follows: a preparatory tournament before Australia or just Australia, one tournament on concrete and not clay or a break until the start of the first Masters, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros, Wimblodon , canada, cincinnati, us open, one 500 tournament and masters: shanghai, paris, final masters or just the last three masters at the end of the season. In total each season he should play 16 (4 grand slams, final masters, 9 masters 1000 category and two tournaments 500 category tournaments) or 17 when the Olympic Games or the Davis Cup are being played and less than 16 when we exclude small tournaments, Olympic Games and Davis Cup. During the season you do not play small tournaments or you play a maximum of 2 tournaments with different combinations of tournament schedules. For Roland Garros, it is enough to play three Masters as preparatory tournaments for the Grand Slam, and by no means 4 tournaments (three Masters and Barcelona) is that too much and unnecessary. This schedule with three tournaments during the clay season is much better than 4 if you prevent injury during the season and the appearance of physical exhaustion (at the end of the season, during the clay season and at Wimbledon). You should copy the clay season schedule of Federer or Novak, is Rafa's schedule completely wrong. One of the reasons why Nadal has very few titles at Wimbledon, always problems with injuries, when he comes to the grass he always has problems with physical exhaustion and losing in the first week of the tournament is precisely as a result of playing a large number of small tournaments during the season in general and playing a large number tournaments or matches during the clay court season. Also, only one indoor title or no major titles at the last three masters in the autumn period of the season due to injuries and physical exhaustion is a consequence of the very reason I said in the previous sentence. His focus should be exclusively on conquest big tournaments (grand slam, masters final and 1000, Olympic games). Other tournaments that do not fall into this group (tournaments 250 and 500, the cup at the beginning of the year and the Davis Cup) are small tournaments or unimportant competitions and do not enter into the parameters for determining the goat race. For this reason, he should play them as little as possible during the season or skip them. With one gold medal from the Olympic Games, he can throw this tournament off the calendar or at least play one more time for another gold medal and then not play again. Davis Cup enough to have won it once and not play again after that. Alcaraz, there is no need to play exhibitions (Laver Cup and other competitions) are they optional tournaments and you only risk injury or physical fatigue as a result of overexerting your body. He also has to learn when hitting the ball to do it with as little effort, expending energy, to work on improving the technique when performing shots, there is no need to run for every ball and to hit every ball all the time with all his strength. These changes will help him one day be in a position to be a goat, a more preserved body throughout his career, without many constant injuries throughout his career. He needs to learn from some of Nadal's disastrous mistakes.
@@urosraskovic7730 Dude, Alcaraz is only 21 years old and already won more Grand Slams than the Big 3 did at his age. Give the kid some rest ffs. He will come back strong, don't you worry.
Hey Gill, great analysis as always!!! However, I have to disagree in regards to Carlos BH. In Laver Cup, as well throughout the Bejing tournament (except the final), it was actually his most deadly shot. He clearly improved the BH. Here, he got less time to set up a good BH very often, but he surprised nontheless Sinner with it, since the disparity between FH and BH quality got slimmer now. There were some shots where you saw Sinners face surprised at the depth and hard hitting BH of Alcaraz. That is why I think Sinner switched over to play more balls on the FH, since even if it is the greater weapon, it is more prone to errors when he sends it on full.
I was actually more impressed with Carlos' BH all tournament. That BH cc rocket he blasted in the third set 5-4 30-30 was 🔥 Had that ball gone wide Sinner would have had MP 🤯
@Gill Gross. Note on the backhand of Alcaraz. His backhand in pretty much every other match in this tournament actually looked excellent but today just seemed off. He was hitting many BH winners in earlier matches in Beijing and less errors.
I actually thought his slightly more erratic backhand was simply part of his attacking game plan (sword/sword mentality, as you called it). He did not want to give Jannik any rhythm or let him find his groove in rallyes. Jannik can trade backhands forever and he didn't want to go down that road. Yes this naturally resulted in more errors on that wing but also some clutch winners or shots that set him up for an attacking forehand.
Since Alcaraz had the forearm injury before RG, his backhand has improved a lot. Yes, in the final too many errors, but in other matches is fire, they upgrade his backhand a lot. His weakness is the serve, when he could upgrade the serve, scary player.
@@ricardlopez598 i think he's already a scary player for many:) at first glance he may not get a ton of free points from his serve but he places and mixes it up well to set up his other strengths (volleys or forehand). Also, he likes to outplay his opponent rather than outserve him. It gives him the rhythm and confidence he needs for his game. He'll go for an ace or service winner every now and then but doesn't depend on it. Also, remember that he uses the body serve a lot more than other players. This may not produce any free points on the stat sheet, but it sets him up nicely for an easy first volley. Remember the Wimbledon final, Novak actually said he was very impressed by his serving. So i think the serve is an underrated part of his game. Not his greatest strength for sure but not really a weakness either, and he doesn't depend on it as much as others.
Pure tennis genius from the two best players in the world right now. King Carlos was down 0-3 and I figured it's game over but outta nowhere he reels off 7 points in a row which shocked Sinner. Some of the contortionist gets would do Cirque du Soleil proud. This was the best match of the entire year.
@@arvinds4961 I always thought that Fed's forehand is the best but in that Tiebteak, damn Carlos was just hitting bullets everywhere with the forehand
I'm amazed Sinner won that first set tiebreaker. I turned on to the Shapo match when Carlos had 6 points in the tiebreak thinking surely there was no chance Sinner was going to comeback in that tiebreak.
I kinda disagree about the backhand. To my eyes Carlos hit the bh extremely good. Whenever he had a chance he was ripping it with intention. And it seemed it was way more flatter than in the past too. Maybe it wasn't as visible against Jannik, cause well, it was Jannik, but overall throughout the tournament I was heavily impressed with his backhand.
Great point about Alcaraz’s sword/shield dynamic. I’ve been thinking about how he needs to become steadier from the back of the court, but I was concerned that it might take away from his main weapon. However, developing a more balanced sword/shield approach could enhance his game, helping to stabilize his overly offensive style. While his overwhelming offense wins him many matches, it can also be a double-edged sword, often leading to his downfall against players who can out-rally him from the baseline, like Djokovic, Sinner, Zverev, etc. By developing a more reliable backhand, players like Djokovic would have a harder time baiting him into being too aggressive on that side.
Interesting analysis on Alcaraz's backhand... I've seen a lot of people say that Alcaraz hit his backhand better in this tournament than he's hit in his entire career.
I watched highlights of Sinner's SF vs. Bu. There his more patience game plan worked, since Bu does not have the same fire power as Alcaraz. Should Sinner play more aggressively like he used to when playing Alcaraz? Rush him?
I feel like it doesn't really matter who won in the end. The competition was at a such high level that I've only seen in a Djoko-Federer game before. I'm just glad tennis is in good hands right now, if WADA doesn't mess up.
totally agree, I'm a Sinner fan and I couldnt help think - doesnt matter what happens here - this is such beautiful amazing tennis - whoever won - it was superb. Lets pray WADA doesnt mess things up.
In my opinion, sometimes Sinner is satisfied with his heavy cross-country dribble, which is enough for 95% of his opponents. With a man like Alcaraz it’s not enough, and you have to take the game when he has the chance. Let’s not forget that he is playing with a huge monkey on his shoulders, and a certain lack of lucidity in the hot phases of the matches is more than understandable.
It might be just me, the Spaniard in me says, right Sinner is the number one and that is well deserved, however top Wimbledon, Rolland Garros, silver medal in the Olympic Games, and now Beijing. I could live being number three in the world with this record.
I think you place too much importance on specific shots. Alcaraz's forehand is always going to be dominant. He didn't win because of that though. Sinner got too complacent after being 3-0 in the tie-break and played a bit conservatively. Ironically, being down in the first tie-break was better for him. However, Carlos played a streak of unbelievable shots and he deserved the win. In the end, this was more of a mental battle. Skill-wise, I'd say they're pretty even, though different. Sinner was unlucky in the 8th game of the 2nd, where he was the clear better player and could have closed it there in two sets. On the other hand, he was a bit lucky in the first.
I think you place way too much emphasis on “mental strength” lol Sinner wasn’t complacent, Alcaraz was just unplayable. Mental strength ain’t making 100 mph forehands come back
@@SJ-di5zu He was perfectly playable, in fact he could have lost. Alcaraz came back from 3-0 down in the tie-break, knowing Sinner offers his best in tie-breaks. Of course it takes mental fortitude to stay there. But your comment makes little sense, probably you only watched highlights. Sinner attacked Alcaraz from the get go in the tie-break, leaving him no chance to play his game. However he was quite complacent after being 2 mini-breaks up and played a neutal ball in the middle, which Alcaraz turned into a winner. That's where he let go. But yeah, keep lolling.
@@NamTran-xc2ip Ok. Bring me some extra tissues, please. Thank god those two show a much higher maturity than their toxic fans. Unfortunately, these people are ruining it for me.
@@Julian_orwell Nobody 'let go' in a deciding tiebreaker. Sinner won less points than Alcaraz in the match, and in every sets. Sinner also made less winners and has less Bps. Similar to Wimbledon 2019, Djokovic/Sinner got outplayed and Federer/Alcaraz was dictating the match. The difference is the dictator found his level at the last moment possible here.
For your next mailbag video: After Alcaraz’ comment in Cincinnati regarding the speed in centre court, it would be great if you can explain court pace index and how and why the court pace of a tournament changes from one year to another In addition, based on the players comments regarding the different balls used in different tournaments, it would be great if you can also explain the balls differences, why they change between tournaments. Shouldn’t the same type of ball be used consistently across all tournaments? Why is it not the case?
Hi, This question is for anyone who plays tennis (since I don't) After listening to Gill's thorough analysis of the Sinner-Alcaraz match, it doesn't seem possible for the match to have been so close, since Sinner had far more weaknesses. So what elements in Sinner's game DID keep it close? Just his consistency and his general power, or something else? Thanks!
This is just my personal opinion. 1. Carlos is in form on fire. When he is playing at his best, he is unstoppable but he could have bad days losing easily to lower ranked players, but Sinner more consistent, his good day/bad day gap is much narrower. 2. Wonder if without the off court drama.. Sinner may could have played 2-5% better (?), I feel his forehand can be much more powerful than this match…
Nothing to the degree Gill projects. Not sure if he watched any of his other matches this week. It's overall the best it's been this year. Bit Wava-like for it may not be as consistent as his mighty forehand, but it's every bit as devastating.
Alcaraz beat Sinner in all areas. This isn't like IW where Alcaraz fed him loopy forehands. If he is just better in all areas then how can you beat him
Think Alcaraz goes for it more than Sinner when it works its great but sometimes he can miss when he's not on it! Also I have said this many times Sinner first serve seems to desert him when he seems to need it most e.g. the final tiebreak at 3-0 no first serve and i believe no first serve in his next 2 service points!
I have to disagree slightly with the BH analysis. His BH has been significantly bigger in Beijing and very consistent also. I say slightly cause it was inconsistent in the final but you can clearly see that work is being done to make his BH a weapon too.
@@francescojsb The only reason why Alcaraz didn't win 6-4 6-4 is because the lack of concentration on breakpoints. He won more points in every sets. This match was on Alcaraz' racquet, and by being the better player he closed it out.
Arthur fils match play during Tokyo was on another level 🤔 and extremely clutch. Although I'm a Carlos Alcaraz fan, because my Nephew looks exactly like Arthur fils, I could see myself becoming a fan of him
An Argentine tennis commentator named "Luciano Cabeiro" has a theory that today's tennis between Alcaraz and Sinner has become "feminized" and, now, men's tennis is much more similar to women's. What do you think of this statement, Gill?
Interesting discrepancy between net points from Flashscore vs ATP FLASHSCORE: Sinner 13/26 Carlos 25/34 ATP: Sinner 7/20 Carlos 19/31 Sinners 1st serve stats 55% in and 66% points won werent good tho.
The key thing for me to enjoy a great rivalry is to really rood for one of the two and really dislike the other one And as of the last few weeks Sinner provided the latter of the two with his cheating approach to tennis so game on
I think at this point the h2h is pretty much on alcaraz’s racket…sinner will always bring a great base level, and alcaraz is more up and down. Alcsraz has the higher peak level, so if he’s playing well sinner can’t do much
You don't think that Alcaraz' transition/net game was a big reason for his win? Sinner needs to improve this part of his game, from what I see. Not a pro like you are of course, simply what I saw.
Humberts +1 forehand on the last point was lazy he should have hit in down the line behind the back of fils but I thought tactically it was a brilliant brilliant match what a run for fils
Gil, come on man. You've railed against the break point stats yourself. Carlos went 3/15 on break points (20%), but 3/8 in converting games that had break points (37.5%). He breaks in one more game and he's at 50%.
Because Sinner dealt with the doping scandal so well at US Open, I don't think people are acknowledging the psychological effects of the WADA appeal enough. The situation is WAY more serious now. It seems very unlikely that he will escape suspension this time. It's just a matter of how long it will be. I see a lot of headlines about Alcaraz's 'come from behind' win, but that wasn't the match I watched. I felt Sinner was 'coming from behind' the entire match. He was not at his best whatsoever. In fact, I was way more impressed with Medvedev's level and strategy in the semi against Alcaraz. I came away from the match impressed that Sinner managed to force two tiebreaks.
Totally agree. Sinner has a huge weight on his shoulders just when he is peaking in his career. I also think the knowledge of the two previous meetings going Carlos way might have eaten into his belief a bit. I still think the poor volleys were really exposed this time though.
@@ladystarlightnyc everyone's saying he can block all out, but that just can't be true. Clearly, this is affecting him, and he hasn't been playing at his best, except for a few flashes here and there. Last year in Beijing, Alcaraz also seemed unbeatable, yet he was demolished by Sinner in the SF.
@@Julian_orwell How did Alcaraz seem unbeatable in Beijing last year? He lost to Medvedev, Djokovic and Tommy Paul on hc coming into Beijing. The performance dropoff from Wimbledon is clear as day.
Gill, not sure if you did this, but would be interesting to highlight the huge improvement as far as stamina and strength Sinner had pretty much since a year ago ("Post puike Sinner"). Very interesting. He used to be cooked and gassed and cramping easily, and the he became a machine, He must have found a really good practice concept that he integrated, dont you think? Also love the Sinner bots in the comments...
I always like your analysis but if you don't mention the gigantic Damocles sword hanging over Sinner's head you're missing a crucial factor (intensity, motivation, concentration). It's like playing with an arm tied behind your back. Honestly if I was Sinner I wouldn't even have played.
The Sheltons , Koirdas , Aliassimes , Fritzes , Zverevs and Medvedevs of this world better start catching up soon because if Carlos and Jannik are top seeds on different sides of the draw l feel they will be playing most of the finals in the future .
Da italiano riconosco la superiorità di Alcaraz. Però non è giusto che la politica sporca sospenda per due anni sinner per colpa del suo staff. Il tennis cadrebbe nel caos. Quanti giocatori verranno sabotati? Basta fare inalare a loro un miliardesimo di molecola. 😢
Bottom line: Carlos has the highest top level of any player in the world. If he finds it at the big moments then you can’t beat him. PS ‘Sword sword mentality’. Classic Gill. 👍🏻
Alcaraz is a very temperamental tennis player. When he plays well he can beat anyone, but he can also lose to anyone. I think that will affect his career when it comes to staying number 1, since it rewards more stable players.
Great match, Carlos was more the aggressor and definitely deserved to win with that amazing forehand! It was still supertight though because I give Sinner a slight mental edge. That being said, any neutral observer who looks at these 2 athletes and thinks "ah yes, Sinner is the steroid user/doper" is out of their mind xD
Why was Carlos allowed to slowly change his shoes at the end of the third point in the 3rd. set tiebreak. Is there a rule for not allowing and outfit change during a tiebreak ? He never even got a warning and I think he did it to stop Jannick's momentum. How is that allowed. I have never seen that happen before except for a quick racquet change for a broken string.
because they broke? was he supposed to keep playing? the umpire made the announcement that he would get some time to change them since they broke during the sliding to get to jannik’s drop shop
Haha ha okay Sinner was cleared. That's why he can still play. There was no doping. It was contaminated supplements and only in small quantities. He's clean.
@@jonfreeman9682 Just saying, the quantity is irrelevant and says nothing. A billionth of a gram, aka, nanograms per decilitre, is the standard measurements for PEDs. The statement from his team are merely there to control the public' inability to not be ignorant.
@@hardcoreplayafromthehimala4888of course it is, stop trying to find scams everywhere, like no one ever had such muscle mass in other million sports or even amateurs
Alcaraz is my favourite and every win of his is a “win for tennis” for me, but that has nothing to do with sinner who is obviously a great and honest guy that did nothing wrong. Please stop being a brainless bot who pick on stupid bureaucratic bs to slander a great player. Do you really believe he used a performance enhancing substance on purpose and that it had any effect on any result? I find it hard to believe that the answer is yes and if it’s no, than why the hell would you want to destroy the top of tennis for your own pathetic hate?
I'm stopping to watch tennis. It is a very dirty sport, a player is caught on steroids and nothing happens because is world number 1 and a nice guy. Shameful
The shameful thing is that Sinner, being number 1 in the world, is persecuted by WADA and the hatred of people like you when cases similar to his, with the only difference of not being famous, were immediately acquitted of any accusation, both "official" and by the people of social media.
Carlos is like Nadal... Only playa Jannik in HIS surface extremely slow HC indian wells beijing etc and clay RG. Notice how he will avoid playing Sinner in a fast HC like Shangai. True c oward.
Alcaraz is 3-0, correct, but sinner was at his best only at Indian Wells. Sinner wasn‘t at his best at RG and at Beijing. Wenn Alcaraz wasn‘t at his best, he Never play vs Sinner (for exemple at cinci, us open, Miami).

No doubt, alcaraz's forehand was the deciding element of this match, but God, how impressive is Alcaraz's backhand !!!!
Yeah in general Carlos was always seeking the attack early on both wings.
Set up so many points aggressively
In order to stay healthy for a long time or to prevent new injuries, Alcaraz must improve the weaker segments of his game first and second serves (improving the consistency, techniques, efficiency, quality, power and speed of the serve, accuracy, precision, covering skills so that the opponent can hardly read and when hitting the ball from the backhand or forehand side on the grass and concrete flat, catch or hit the ball very early in the rise, so you take time for your opponent to react, deep and accurate near the baseline without heavy topspin unlike clay with heavy topspin like Nadal, when you return the opponent's serve on clay and on other surfaces, regardless of whether the first or second is closer to the baseline and not the whole match a few meters behind the line like Nadal and when you receive the second serve of the opponent or you have a chance to attack, be aggressive, that is, attack that serve with an excellent return hitting the winner or you are the one who should dictate the point in the match so that the opponent is on the defensive and you are on the attack, and not the whole match a few meters behind the line so that you defend and the opponent attacks you as in the case with Djokovic at the Olympics, regardless of the fact that clay is a slow surface, your style of play or tactics should be a mixture of defensive and offensive style and not exclusively defensive style like Nadal.

Also, Federer's serve was superb, but it was difficult to read. Carlos' serve should be of equal quality or in the same range as previous high or low players. For the serve, you have three options: the first is to replace Ferrero with some excellent player with a superb serve to improve your shot (Sampras, Ivanisevic, Federer, Roddick, Nadal version from us open 2010 or Becker), the second is to copy the service technique of some of these players if Ferrero remains in the team as the head coach and the third is to bring another player that I mentioned earlier into the team in addition to Ferrer. Ferero is superb on clay and maybe he should stay in the team but it doesn't have great results on grass and concrete and he cannot improve his serve so that it becomes a top weapon like the other segments in the game, since Ferrero himself did not have a top serve during his career.

In total each season he should play 16 (4 grand slams, final masters, 9 masters 1000 category and two tournaments 500 category tournaments) or 17 when the Olympic Games or the Davis Cup are being played and less than 16 when we exclude small tournaments, Olympic Games and Davis Cup. During the season you do not play small tournaments or you play a maximum of 2 tournaments with different combinations of tournament schedules. For Roland Garros, it is enough to play three Masters as preparatory tournaments for the Grand Slam, and by no means 4 tournaments (three Masters and Barcelona) is that too much and unnecessary. This schedule with three tournaments during the clay season is much better than 4 if you prevent injury during the season and the appearance of physical exhaustion (at the end of the season, during the clay season and at Wimbledon). You should copy the clay season schedule of Federer or Novak, is Rafa's schedule completely wrong. One of the reasons why Nadal has very few titles at Wimbledon, always problems with injuries, when he comes to the grass he always has problems with physical exhaustion and losing in the first week of the tournament is precisely as a result of playing a large number of small tournaments during the season in general and playing a large number tournaments or matches during the clay court season. Also, only one indoor title or no major titles at the last three masters in the autumn period of the season due to injuries and physical exhaustion is a consequence of the very reason I said in the previous sentence. His focus should be exclusively on conquest big tournaments (grand slam, masters final and 1000, Olympic games). Other tournaments that do not fall into this group (tournaments 250 and 500, the cup at the beginning of the year and the Davis Cup) are small tournaments or unimportant competitions and do not enter into the parameters for determining the goat race. For this reason, he should play them as little as possible during the season or skip them. With one gold medal from the Olympic Games, he can throw this tournament off the calendar or at least play one more time for another gold medal and then not play again. Davis Cup enough to have won it once and not play again after that. Alcaraz, there is no need to play exhibitions (Laver Cup and other competitions) are they optional tournaments and you only risk injury or physical fatigue as a result of overexerting your body. He also has to learn when hitting the ball to do it with as little effort, expending energy, to work on improving the technique when performing shots, there is no need to run for every ball and to hit every ball all the time with all his strength. These changes will help him one day be in a position to be a goat, a more preserved body throughout his career, without many constant injuries throughout his career. He needs to learn from some of Nadal's disastrous mistakes.
@@urosraskovic7730 Dude, Alcaraz is only 21 years old and already won more Grand Slams than the Big 3 did at his age. Give the kid some rest ffs. He will come back strong, don't you worry.
@@urosraskovic7730 You expect him to be superman at 21?
Hey Gill, great analysis as always!!! However, I have to disagree in regards to Carlos BH. In Laver Cup, as well throughout the Bejing tournament (except the final), it was actually his most deadly shot. He clearly improved the BH. Here, he got less time to set up a good BH very often, but he surprised nontheless Sinner with it, since the disparity between FH and BH quality got slimmer now. There were some shots where you saw Sinners face surprised at the depth and hard hitting BH of Alcaraz. That is why I think Sinner switched over to play more balls on the FH, since even if it is the greater weapon, it is more prone to errors when he sends it on full.
I was actually more impressed with Carlos' BH all tournament. That BH cc rocket he blasted in the third set 5-4 30-30 was 🔥 Had that ball gone wide Sinner would have had MP 🤯
@Gill Gross. Note on the backhand of Alcaraz. His backhand in pretty much every other match in this tournament actually looked excellent but today just seemed off. He was hitting many BH winners in earlier matches in Beijing and less errors.
I actually thought his slightly more erratic backhand was simply part of his attacking game plan (sword/sword mentality, as you called it). He did not want to give Jannik any rhythm or let him find his groove in rallyes. Jannik can trade backhands forever and he didn't want to go down that road. Yes this naturally resulted in more errors on that wing but also some clutch winners or shots that set him up for an attacking forehand.
Yeah, I think gill has not been watching any of the other matches this tournament
I totally agree with you
Since Alcaraz had the forearm injury before RG, his backhand has improved a lot. Yes, in the final too many errors, but in other matches is fire, they upgrade his backhand a lot. His weakness is the serve, when he could upgrade the serve, scary player.
@@ricardlopez598 i think he's already a scary player for many:) at first glance he may not get a ton of free points from his serve but he places and mixes it up well to set up his other strengths (volleys or forehand). Also, he likes to outplay his opponent rather than outserve him. It gives him the rhythm and confidence he needs for his game. He'll go for an ace or service winner every now and then but doesn't depend on it. Also, remember that he uses the body serve a lot more than other players. This may not produce any free points on the stat sheet, but it sets him up nicely for an easy first volley. Remember the Wimbledon final, Novak actually said he was very impressed by his serving. So i think the serve is an underrated part of his game. Not his greatest strength for sure but not really a weakness either, and he doesn't depend on it as much as others.
That's the video I was waiting for!
What a match 😱
That third set tiebreak point at 3-1 lives in my head rent free! It was absolutely brilliant!
That was crazy shot making like prime Federer and Sinner's defense are out of this world both their contrasting styles presents great match ups .
Pure tennis genius from the two best players in the world right now. King Carlos was down 0-3 and I figured it's game over but outta nowhere he reels off 7 points in a row which shocked Sinner. Some of the contortionist gets would do Cirque du Soleil proud. This was the best match of the entire year.
@@arvinds4961 I always thought that Fed's forehand is the best but in that Tiebteak, damn Carlos was just hitting bullets everywhere with the forehand
I'm amazed Sinner won that first set tiebreaker. I turned on to the Shapo match when Carlos had 6 points in the tiebreak thinking surely there was no chance Sinner was going to comeback in that tiebreak.
Alcaraz has the only 2H backhand that wows me. Dual swords all the way!
Dual sword and soft hands... Boy is almost the perfect player
And crafty one-handed slices, flicks, backhand smashes and volleys
Heck of a match.
Thank you gill, you picked the Carlitos upset at Shanghai and reverse cursed him today
Fritz wasn’t the defending champion, but Fils DID play the defending champion in Shelton!
This Sinner/Alcaraz matchup is alway, alway a banger. I hope I get to see it live someday.
Alcaraz Edges Sinner!!!!!
For almost FOUR HOURS!!
😂
Gill, does this result make you reconsider your Shanghai predictions?
I kinda disagree about the backhand. To my eyes Carlos hit the bh extremely good. Whenever he had a chance he was ripping it with intention. And it seemed it was way more flatter than in the past too.
Maybe it wasn't as visible against Jannik, cause well, it was Jannik, but overall throughout the tournament I was heavily impressed with his backhand.
@@dariusz_darson_8968 I don't think Gross watched much of the tournament.
Great point about Alcaraz’s sword/shield dynamic. I’ve been thinking about how he needs to become steadier from the back of the court, but I was concerned that it might take away from his main weapon. However, developing a more balanced sword/shield approach could enhance his game, helping to stabilize his overly offensive style. While his overwhelming offense wins him many matches, it can also be a double-edged sword, often leading to his downfall against players who can out-rally him from the baseline, like Djokovic, Sinner, Zverev, etc. By developing a more reliable backhand, players like Djokovic would have a harder time baiting him into being too aggressive on that side.
Could this be the match of the year!?
Not better than Arthur fils matches in Tokyo
@@MrBjorn6 lmao
Sinner Broke himself a couple of times without Alcaraz having to do anything so I would say no
@@huzcerAlcaraz has way more unforced errors, but sure.
@@NamTran-xc2ip I'm talking about the breaks of serve. Terrible lapse of concentration from Sinner on at least 2 of them. Probably thinking about wada
Well done Carlos 🎉
Alcaraz did WHAT to Sinner?? 😱
Interesting analysis on Alcaraz's backhand... I've seen a lot of people say that Alcaraz hit his backhand better in this tournament than he's hit in his entire career.
Uhhh... the title....
shhhhhhh dont tell him
"Improvisational hand skills".
In other words, jazz hands.
I like that concept
I don't agree entirely with Gill here. The forehand was OUT of this world. However, during a bunch of pressure points, his forehand brokedown.
I watched highlights of Sinner's SF vs. Bu. There his more patience game plan worked, since Bu does not have the same fire power as Alcaraz. Should Sinner play more aggressively like he used to when playing Alcaraz? Rush him?
thanks gill 😊😊 I was needing this 😅
Tennis is in great hands with these two exceptional players.
so many best shots of the day in this match!
I really hope we see another rematch between the two at shanghai semi's. Rooting for alcaraz to win the title!!
I feel like it doesn't really matter who won in the end.
The competition was at a such high level that I've only seen in a Djoko-Federer game before.
I'm just glad tennis is in good hands right now, if WADA doesn't mess up.
totally agree, I'm a Sinner fan and I couldnt help think - doesnt matter what happens here - this is such beautiful amazing tennis - whoever won - it was superb. Lets pray WADA doesnt mess things up.
In my opinion, sometimes Sinner is satisfied with his heavy cross-country dribble, which is enough for 95% of his opponents. With a man like Alcaraz it’s not enough, and you have to take the game when he has the chance. Let’s not forget that he is playing with a huge monkey on his shoulders, and a certain lack of lucidity in the hot phases of the matches is more than understandable.
It might be just me, the Spaniard in me says, right Sinner is the number one and that is well deserved, however top Wimbledon, Rolland Garros, silver medal in the Olympic Games, and now Beijing. I could live being number three in the world with this record.
Indian Wells also
If he makes another m1000 and ATP finals, It would be an almost perfect year. 2015 Djokovic session is probably impossible to beat or equal.
I think you place too much importance on specific shots. Alcaraz's forehand is always going to be dominant. He didn't win because of that though.
Sinner got too complacent after being 3-0 in the tie-break and played a bit conservatively. Ironically, being down in the first tie-break was better for him. However, Carlos played a streak of unbelievable shots and he deserved the win. In the end, this was more of a mental battle. Skill-wise, I'd say they're pretty even, though different.
Sinner was unlucky in the 8th game of the 2nd, where he was the clear better player and could have closed it there in two sets. On the other hand, he was a bit lucky in the first.
I think you place way too much emphasis on “mental strength” lol Sinner wasn’t complacent, Alcaraz was just unplayable. Mental strength ain’t making 100 mph forehands come back
@@SJ-di5zu He was perfectly playable, in fact he could have lost. Alcaraz came back from 3-0 down in the tie-break, knowing Sinner offers his best in tie-breaks. Of course it takes mental fortitude to stay there.
But your comment makes little sense, probably you only watched highlights. Sinner attacked Alcaraz from the get go in the tie-break, leaving him no chance to play his game. However he was quite complacent after being 2 mini-breaks up and played a neutal ball in the middle, which Alcaraz turned into a winner. That's where he let go. But yeah, keep lolling.
@@Julian_orwell This match was on Alcaraz' racquet and he won it, cry more.
@@NamTran-xc2ip Ok. Bring me some extra tissues, please.
Thank god those two show a much higher maturity than their toxic fans. Unfortunately, these people are ruining it for me.
@@Julian_orwell Nobody 'let go' in a deciding tiebreaker. Sinner won less points than Alcaraz in the match, and in every sets. Sinner also made less winners and has less Bps. Similar to Wimbledon 2019, Djokovic/Sinner got outplayed and Federer/Alcaraz was dictating the match. The difference is the dictator found his level at the last moment possible here.
I’m a big Sinner fan… but I’m of the opinion that Sinner victories over Carlitos will be few and far between in the future.
And anyway, despite everything, he was one step away from winning the game.
For your next mailbag video: After Alcaraz’ comment in Cincinnati regarding the speed in centre court, it would be great if you can explain court pace index and how and why the court pace of a tournament changes from one year to another
In addition, based on the players comments regarding the different balls used in different tournaments, it would be great if you can also explain the balls differences, why they change between tournaments. Shouldn’t the same type of ball be used consistently across all tournaments? Why is it not the case?
Great match 🎉🎉 let's go Jannik
Hi, This question is for anyone who plays tennis (since I don't) After listening to Gill's thorough analysis of the Sinner-Alcaraz match, it doesn't seem possible for the match to have been so close, since Sinner had far more weaknesses. So what elements in Sinner's game DID keep it close? Just his consistency and his general power, or something else? Thanks!
This is just my personal opinion. 1. Carlos is in form on fire. When he is playing at his best, he is unstoppable but he could have bad days losing easily to lower ranked players, but Sinner more consistent, his good day/bad day gap is much narrower. 2. Wonder if without the off court drama.. Sinner may could have played 2-5% better (?), I feel his forehand can be much more powerful than this match…
What an a imressive match rivalry of the year. !!!!!!!!
What are the issues with Alcaraz’s backhand? Is it technical?
Nothing to the degree Gill projects. Not sure if he watched any of his other matches this week. It's overall the best it's been this year. Bit Wava-like for it may not be as consistent as his mighty forehand, but it's every bit as devastating.
Nothing wrong with it, he’s being nit picky
@@rublo1 It's his job to be analytical.
Alcaraz does WHAT to sinner? 🥴
Edged his cock
Edged his cock to ejaculation
Alcaraz beat Sinner in all areas. This isn't like IW where Alcaraz fed him loopy forehands.
If he is just better in all areas then how can you beat him
But sinner is more constant throughout the year
Think Alcaraz goes for it more than Sinner when it works its great but sometimes he can miss when he's not on it! Also I have said this many times Sinner first serve seems to desert him when he seems to need it most e.g. the final tiebreak at 3-0 no first serve and i believe no first serve in his next 2 service points!
I have to disagree slightly with the BH analysis. His BH has been significantly bigger in Beijing and very consistent also. I say slightly cause it was inconsistent in the final but you can clearly see that work is being done to make his BH a weapon too.
Title is crazy 😭😭
Change of shoes did the trick😂😂😂😂
Sinner lost his concentration a bit and it was enough to lose, given the extremely balanced match
@@francescojsb The only reason why Alcaraz didn't win 6-4 6-4 is because the lack of concentration on breakpoints. He won more points in every sets. This match was on Alcaraz' racquet, and by being the better player he closed it out.
Arthur fils match play during Tokyo was on another level 🤔 and extremely clutch. Although I'm a Carlos Alcaraz fan, because my Nephew looks exactly like Arthur fils, I could see myself becoming a fan of him
Gill title wording 😭😭
Alcaraz did what to Sinner?
An Argentine tennis commentator named "Luciano Cabeiro" has a theory that today's tennis between Alcaraz and Sinner has become "feminized" and, now, men's tennis is much more similar to women's. What do you think of this statement, Gill?
Interesting discrepancy between net points from Flashscore vs ATP
FLASHSCORE:
Sinner 13/26
Carlos 25/34
ATP:
Sinner 7/20
Carlos 19/31
Sinners 1st serve stats 55% in and 66% points won werent good tho.
The key thing for me to enjoy a great rivalry is to really rood for one of the two and really dislike the other one And as of the last few weeks Sinner provided the latter of the two with his cheating approach to tennis so game on
ok?
I think at this point the h2h is pretty much on alcaraz’s racket…sinner will always bring a great base level, and alcaraz is more up and down. Alcsraz has the higher peak level, so if he’s playing well sinner can’t do much
Alcaraz only loses when he plays unfocused/bad day or when he plays extremely creative/intelligent tennis players like Dimitrov
You don't think that Alcaraz' transition/net game was a big reason for his win? Sinner needs to improve this part of his game, from what I see. Not a pro like you are of course, simply what I saw.
Humberts +1 forehand on the last point was lazy he should have hit in down the line behind the back of fils but I thought tactically it was a brilliant brilliant match what a run for fils
Gil, come on man. You've railed against the break point stats yourself. Carlos went 3/15 on break points (20%), but 3/8 in converting games that had break points (37.5%). He breaks in one more game and he's at 50%.
And why are you accepting sponsorship by BET US? Weird to me--
Because Sinner dealt with the doping scandal so well at US Open, I don't think people are acknowledging the psychological effects of the WADA appeal enough. The situation is WAY more serious now. It seems very unlikely that he will escape suspension this time. It's just a matter of how long it will be.
I see a lot of headlines about Alcaraz's 'come from behind' win, but that wasn't the match I watched. I felt Sinner was 'coming from behind' the entire match. He was not at his best whatsoever. In fact, I was way more impressed with Medvedev's level and strategy in the semi against Alcaraz.
I came away from the match impressed that Sinner managed to force two tiebreaks.
Me too.
Totally agree. Sinner has a huge weight on his shoulders just when he is peaking in his career. I also think the knowledge of the two previous meetings going Carlos way might have eaten into his belief a bit.
I still think the poor volleys were really exposed this time though.
@@ladystarlightnyc everyone's saying he can block all out, but that just can't be true. Clearly, this is affecting him, and he hasn't been playing at his best, except for a few flashes here and there. Last year in Beijing, Alcaraz also seemed unbeatable, yet he was demolished by Sinner in the SF.
@@Julian_orwell How did Alcaraz seem unbeatable in Beijing last year? He lost to Medvedev, Djokovic and Tommy Paul on hc coming into Beijing. The performance dropoff from Wimbledon is clear as day.
@@vijayla21 What do you expect from Sinner fanboys?🤣🤣
Gill, not sure if you did this, but would be interesting to highlight the huge improvement as far as stamina and strength Sinner had pretty much since a year ago ("Post puike Sinner"). Very interesting. He used to be cooked and gassed and cramping easily, and the he became a machine,
He must have found a really good practice concept that he integrated, dont you think?
Also love the Sinner bots in the comments...
Thank you. Awesome listen. Bummed for Sinner, who seems to be the Federer in the Nadal-Federer rivalry. Must be rough!
What does "powered by bet us actually mean..?!😅
It means betus is the sponsor of this video
I always like your analysis but if you don't mention the gigantic Damocles sword hanging over Sinner's head you're missing a crucial factor (intensity, motivation, concentration). It's like playing with an arm tied behind your back. Honestly if I was Sinner I wouldn't even have played.
If I was Sinner, ideally I wouldn't have played because I'd have been serving a ban.
@@monkeonthee volition is really not the same as restriction

The Sheltons , Koirdas , Aliassimes , Fritzes , Zverevs and Medvedevs of this world better start catching up soon because if Carlos and Jannik are top seeds on different sides of the draw l feel they will be playing most of the finals in the future .

@@NamTran-xc2ipwell said. That's the real issue. And there's something called half-life.
Don't worry, he won't be suspended because they know tennis would suffer too much... They'll forgive It.
Bottom line: Carlos has the highest top level of any player in the world. If he finds it at the big moments then you can’t beat him.
PS ‘Sword sword mentality’. Classic Gill. 👍🏻
Alcaraz is a very temperamental tennis player. When he plays well he can beat anyone, but he can also lose to anyone. I think that will affect his career when it comes to staying number 1, since it rewards more stable players.
Agree. Sinner, true to his Germanic roots, is a cool customer. Like Bjorn Borg...

Great match, Carlos was more the aggressor and definitely deserved to win with that amazing forehand! It was still supertight though because I give Sinner a slight mental edge.

Why was Carlos allowed to slowly change his shoes at the end of the third point in the 3rd. set tiebreak. Is there a rule for not allowing and outfit change during a tiebreak ? He never even got a warning and I think he did it to stop Jannick's momentum. How is that allowed. I have never seen that happen before except for a quick racquet change for a broken string.
because they broke? was he supposed to keep playing? the umpire made the announcement that he would get some time to change them since they broke during the sliding to get to jannik’s drop shop
