About to start on TNT - world #1 v world #2 for the Roland Garros title



Who do you like in this one? Neither has lost a Slam Final - Carlos is 4-0 (2024 French, 2024 and 2023 Wimbledon, 2022 US Open) and Sinner is 3-0 (2024 and 2025 Australian Open, 2024 US Open).

Give me Carlos in 4 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-3. Sinner is the more consistent of the 2 but Carlos’ showmanship and ability to change up his style of play will be the difference here
 
It's been a great match so far. I don't care who wins. Just want it to be close.
 
4 games to deuce so far… 1 break a piece.

Final is already delivering big time stuff. Fun watch
 
4 loose points from Alcaraz in his last service game, Sinner takes the first set.

Sinner is just playing at a different level right now.. unless something drastic changes this looks inevitable at this point
 
Early break for Sinner in set two and he solidifies it with the hold right after to go up 3-0… Carlos a tad loose but Jannik is just playing at a level above. Ridiculously good stuff from him
 
.-.
if Carlos is going to come back - this is how it starts. Gotta take advantage of these:

He's dominant. He has the total package with the serve, huge groundstrokes, court coverage, and he just doesn't make many mistakes. He's basically a machine.

20 straight grand slam match wins, hasn't dropped a single set in the French Open. Worried this will be straight sets.

If Alcaraz is going to make this a match it has to be right now.
 
Sinner playing well- but not great- hasn’t done well on his first serve at all but Alcaraz hasn’t been able to take advantage- Alcaraz playing poor & erratic. Hopefully both play up to their potential the rest of the match- was expecting better.
 
Amazing how Sinner can’t get his first serve over lol- been like 20 straight points- Alcaraz finally took advantage.
 
Carlos…. The decision for the fade away drop shot down 2-4 in this tiebreak is…… something

Jannik’s court coverage ability at his size is truly crazy… shouldn’t be able to move laterally like he does at his size

The last few games they’ve both elevated their games- fun to watch- 2 set to love Sinner.
 


Carlos… we have life!
 
.-.
Set 5 we go- whoever wins this championship is going to deserve this one!!
 
Sinner is hanging in there. Needs a break at some point though.

Alcaraz just picked up a crazy diving point. Might be favoring his hand a bit after that.

Tough break for Sinner. The French need electronics.

Can’t believe they are allowed to get away with not using it. This is back to back years Carlos has benefitted from this exact scenario, Zverev got screwed last year on the same thing against him
 
Well this is everything I wanted for this match. Let's see how it ends.
