ANALYSIS: Sinner Schools Zverev for 2nd Australian Open Title

[@frankellis9627]

Dude, you were way off and I still can't believe you picked Zverev to win this. Zverev had no chance 🙄

[@mt817]

Sinner was a thinker, so some people think he is dull or lacks emotion. Sinner always thinks about how to improve his A-game if things don't work out.

[@tonyh4807]

This match clearly shows Jannik is comparatively more of a beast on medium fast to fast hard courts than Alcaraz is a beast on clay courts

[@loic951]

Grass for Alcaraz

[@manasa2900]

@@loic951 carlos is good on clay courts, using the word beast is too much.

[@thomasoberhofer7403]

There are no excuses Sinner is better all the way bro admit it dont find things which are not existing👎🏿

[@sawyer7191]

Hoping for a better final?? Dude, Sinner is too good and clinical in his approach. There is always something Epic within the mundane, and that’s the play that makes it a dog walk. Looks easy but honestly, the discipline to make it look easy is what is Epic. Duration doesn’t mean it was Epic, but I think that’s what you were looking for.

[@jame2675]

Super proud of Jannik…for him to overcome all of the hurdles that were in his way coming into this tournament AND winning/defending the title (especially in a certain person’s homeland 🙂‍↔️) is an amazing achievement. Super professional, great character, and one helluva player.

[@3LAMESTUDIO]

Sinner is just superior!

[@leominerva3494]

Yesterday on this channel, and not only that, 75% of the comments said that Zverev would have won easily, forget about tennis, better go back to other sports.

[@fabiorossi8]

it was 4-4 in the tiebreak that Sinner took that lucky ribbon, but I wouldn't reduce it all to luck, he already starts the rally on that serve is monstrous

[@Bigbanggbig]

He was gonna win anyway, he just another level

[@leominerva3494]

6-3 7-6 6-3 lucky ribbon ? 😂😂

[@pauljohnson6019]

Yes, if Zverev had taken the 2nd set, things could have got interesting, would have been a much tougher fight, for Sinner, but I think Zverev, potentially, could have won in 5 sets.

[@Jg32234]

@@pauljohnson6019right..there are no “ifs” tennis. Especially when the score line is that severe.

[@jehaustin]

What I always notice with Zverev in these finals is he more hopes the other player will lose instead of him winning. Thiem in that 2020 US Open Final plays HORRIFIC for 2 1/2 sets (I was one of the biggest Thiem fans back then) but once he held his nerve, he overcame Zverev. Carlitos in that 2024 French Open final was kind of all over the place the middle 2 sets but once he righted the ship he pulled away from Zverev the last two sets. Unless Sinner played horribly, I knew he was going to win comfortably. Unless he changes his mentality, Zverev will not win a Slam it’ll come down to the other opponent, losing more than him winning. Just my take.

[@707ladytee]

You have a point! I never thought of that. Yes, Zverev will need to change is thinking if this is the case.

[@jehaustin]

@ what doesn’t help his cause is the fact that that forehand of his doesn’t really give him a chance to be aggressive. It’s a very reactive forehand a healthy Novak Djokovic, a consistent Carlos Alcaraz and Sinner can pounce on that.

[@SiggyHaroldson]

I told you so! How can you ever doubt Sinner? We Italians are the best!

[@haiderraja4533]

The conditions suited Sinner more as i mentioned in my previous comments but Zverev not having a single break point was disappointing. Zverev cant do much with forehand in clutch moments consistently, i think the clear big three now are Sinner, Alcarez and Djokovic (if healthy).

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

What are you talking about? Zverev basically skipped an entire match when djokovic quit. He had way more resting time and still lost

[@al1976-v7m]

Yeah he just doesn't lean into the shot and can't take balls on the rise. That way you just can't rush Sinner.

[@haiderraja4533]

@ the question is what are u talking about my friend???

[@haiderraja4533]

@@al1976-v7m 100% agreed

[@paoloromano6264]

I’d say there never was a big three to begin with. It was and is just the big 2, because sinner and alcaraz can’t be put on the same tier as zverev. I believe he does have the level to compete, but the clutchness and mental toughness the other two bring to the table are surreal, especially in big moments. Zverev is definitely the closest third though, followed by Djokovic.

[@michaelcolleary7224]

Please stop saying the word (Haters), i am fan of some players, but I don't hate any player, you really show you dislike Sinner, when you say Sinner may win 5 GS.

[@theslicetennis]

I’ll say whatever I want - and I said between 5-10 Australian Opens, not total slams, I love Sinner - Stephen

[@mariepelletier3020]

no hating--but I was surprised you picked Zverev and was wiling to go along, however, Sinner just took him apart and had Zverev or if you prefer John McEnroe's pronunciation--Zuh-verev --discombobulated, disturbed and then disconsolate.

[@Pfaz001]

Hi Stephen, thank you for your great show. I though Sinner would have won but I was expecting a much closer match... So I think your prediction did make sense. However, I think we both underestimated his relatively recently achieved ability to raise to the occasion. With this mindset he could even have a better season than last year.

[@nicolagomiero8866]

Sinner era 80% e ha vinto

[@Sebastienleblanc7]

Too many unforced errors and bad nerves from Zverev. Almost no backhand winners. Zverev kept his worst level for the final and Sinner didn't even play at his best.

[@pauljohnson6019]

Sinner didn't have to play his A+ game, a 60% B- game, was enough to beat Zverev's top level, he wasn't given the chance, to play at his best.

[@Sebastienleblanc7]

@ that was very far away from Zverevs top level. If Sinner wouldn't have gotten lucky in the second set tiebreak with a netzroller and his ball that barely scratched the line at 4:4 the momentum could have changed and the longer the match would have went the higher Zverevs chances would have been. But loosing the second set unlucky decided the match and Sinner could play with a 2 set lead whitout pressure.

[@thomasoberhofer7403]

Well and you prediktet wrong allways on Sinner i can see you don’t love that guy😂😂😂

[@erickmoreno7000]

Did you actually believe that Zverev was going to win or you just wanted more engagement?

[@theslicetennis]

Wanted to make a risky pic, that I did believe in, and would have looked awesome if it hit!

[@adelaideholmes5674]

You are a tennis expert and yet you picked Zverev to win, that is insane. Sinner is on another level. Do you really think Zverev can win a slam this year? That is highly unlikely. Sinner will take them all unless Alcaraz manages to win on gras and clay. Zverev is not fast enough either and you see the talent of Sinner is extremely much bigger now. It is all clear to be that Sinner has had huge success with Cahill the last years. He is confident as hell as well.

Zverev played poorly. I think the occasion got to him. I could see it on his face that he was struggling mentally. He played far better against Novak.

[@al1976-v7m]

I think he played the same honestly. Healthy Novak would have beat him.

[@ASchopenkeeper]

Alex couldn't hit a forehand winner against Djokovic either.

[@Sebastienleblanc7]

Zverev choked as usual. Huge amount of unforced errors and his backhand was a complete letdown. He lost not because Sinner played at an unbeatable level until the last set.

[@dusandeletic2092]

My problem with Sinner is that he uses dope. I don't need a prove for it. He went from being an average top 10 player( played only 1 semi final of GS) in 2023 to being unbeatable in 2024.In the same time he tested positive. Something is off. I don't understand why people just ignore it. We should speak up more about it. But April is near. The justice will be serve.

[@marissssss11111]

my problem with this comment is that you know nothing about tennis.

[@timothylee2772]

Hope Sinner is not juiced-up. He went from a good player in 2023 to all of a sudden dominating player in 2024 and 2025.

[@scara19]

Everyone who follow Jannik since 2019 when he won Next Gen knows how he got the same power and speed; he slowly improved consistency especially on forehand, serve and of course mental toughness. He could have won two slams in 2022, when he was 2-0 on Novak in Wimbledon and when he got match point against Carlos in US Open, but he choked in both matches. To gain his toughness on crucial points is something you don't get with clostebol

[@branislavpanic362]

Deserved, He is the one ! I don't think he played on this mode cause he use supplements , he is just too prepared a lot for this court ! So men is the best .No doubt .

[@berlusmafia]

nobody can resist to play more than 4 hours if Sinner plays at this level. If that happens, Sinner has physical or mental issues. Too dominant, please listen at what Zverez said after match.

[@nowfuture9330]

King of Australia? What is the basis of this title? If Rafa is king of RG for 14 titles? Wouldn't the king of Australia logically have multiple titles, too? I respect and appreciate Jannick, he has earned his trophies, however; he is still new and has a very long way to go before earning legendary platforms. Right now, he is current, and longevity hasn't reared its head as of yet. That will take time and hard earned work, not popularity. Congratulations to him for another slam 🎉🎉

[@SaadKhan-pm1tm]

Alcaraz is great, but i dont think he will dominate as much as Sinner.

Sinner is better,ok. But Zverev has a terrible tactics. 3 meters behind the baseline will not win you a slam final. Only if you are a 2008/10/13 Nadal ,you could pull it off but even he was super agressive with such an elite defense. Zverev just needs another coach ,thats clear now. Even Federer told us a few weeks ago,being passive doesnt win slams,noone will give you a slam,you have to earn it . Earn it as Cilic did,as Wawrinka did,full offense .

Agree that Jannik Sinner is the best hard courts player in the world. But keep this in perspective. Jannik has not won RG or WB. He has not come close to winning them. Carlos Alcarez, has won a hard courts Major (USO), and has also won both RG and WB. Carlos is the best tennis player in the world.
