Sinner Caps Dominant ATP Finals with Victory Over Fritz | Monday Match Analysis

[@francescotamburini5790]

Thank you for your words on doping and Sinner. Notwithstanding what will happen with CAS, even WADA accepts that it was not intentional doping. All that Sinner has shown since the case went public is that he needs no doping to win.

[@pacific559]

Exactly. He still wins, and he's been testing negative ever since that moment. If anything, he's won even more than before. Maybe he's a little like Novak in that respect, he can handle a crowd against him, because the crowd never was for him when he was starting, but he played how he knew he could made them believe.

Fritz deserves so much credit for his achievements. In a million years I wouldn’t have thought he would finish ahead of Medvedev and Tsitsipas, but it did happen. I can now feel that he might steal a slam at some point (especially if Sinner actually got suspended periodically). You can argue quality wise Nole is still the top four player this year, but Taylor well deserves the year end number four. He may find himself not facing Sinner/Alcaraz/Nole before the AO final. Who knows what will happen then? It’s difficult but not impossible anymore. Take some note Stef. THAT IS HOW YOU EXCEED YOUR LIMITS. Also no words needed for Sinner. He’s on a different planet this year.

@@alburaq3290 yes it will still be hard. Sinner and Alcaraz are way ahead, and Nole is still among the best considering his quality he produces. What I think is I can see a path like Cilic in 2014 if a bunch of crazy things happen- maybe a 10% chance, but it’s not 0. Taylor is the one making it possible now- and I think it deserves a lot of credit for that. I have never been a big fan of Fritz but I hope he will win an US Open title in his career.

I totally agree with you! People keep comparing Sinner’s serve to Federer’s, and I can’t help but think they either never actually watched Federer play or maybe had one too many drinks while watching Sinner!

[@joannemoore3976]

Thanks Gill. An amazing match by Sinner. You are right about the cloud. I can't imagine what it's like for him, but even as a fan, it's always there, nagging away like toothache and distracting from the amazing year he has had. As for those people who honestly think that even if a player deliberately took a performance enhancing substance, they would, after positive tests, being cleared, facing the court of public opinion, and then having their case appealed, continue to take it, despite frequent testing.. well I am afraid those people are just idiots. It's interesting that Sinner himself seems less affected by the current appeal in the public eye, than he was about the original hearing when it wasn't public knowledge. True he withdrew from Paris but anyone can get a tummy bug and it may have been precautionary. His ability to compartmentalise is impressive. Darren Cahill said recently that this whole experience has made him fearless - maybe we see that on the court too.

Especially in this posting, Gill rises to dramatic language, expression when describing a particular point or gift.

Sinner wasn’t playing his best because he plays a higher level with Alcaraz. But sinner played at a level above Fritz for sure, I just can’t say how high. Fritz was playing the best and most consistent he has ever played.

Thank you Gill as always your analysis are precious! ❤

[@peterbreughel4440]

Nice to see Jannik winning in Italy.

[@Valentino_Ferro]

I partially agree with your analysis. The whole point here is that 🥕's game, right now, is so insanely fast, intense, error-free and, above all, CONSISTENT that nobody can keep up with it. It's just not human. Fritz probably played his best tennis. That's just not enough with this 🥕. The body language of players losing to 🥕doesn't really show anger or regret, but frustration and resignation, like they know there's nothing they could do. And this is confirmed by what they say in the post-match press conferences. The scariest thing is the 🥕is improving in real time. He's a deep learning machine who only gets better. Most likely, next year he'll be even better than this year. Considering that right now he's virtually unbeatable, we'll probably see an orange dominance in the next future

[@al1976-v7m]

Great analysis. Allow me to add my 2 cents about the leaping backhand: the reason we don't see this on any high backhand is because it's quite difficult to time, and - as you mentioned - doesn't necessarily add power. On the (body) second (kick) serve return however, it is almost a pre-planned move as Jannik knows exactly what speed and trajectory to expect. So the leap is ideal, especially because a body serve normally forces you to move AWAY from the ball and thus give up power. So in this case the leap does add power and enables him to immediately neutralize the serve and get in the rallye on even terms.

[@francescojsb]

Before Sinner, only Lendl in 1986 had managed to win all the matches without losing a single set, with the difference that Sinner conceded a maximum of 4 games in all the sets while Lendl won a couple 7 to 5

[@krosewall]

Lendl only played one 7-5 set that year (the only set in the tournament in which he was broken - his first match vs Gomez. he didn't face a break point in any of the other matches). Also he beat 4 hall of fame players at that event(Becker, Edberg, Wilander, Noah). Becker is widely considered one of the best indoor match players of all time and had won 3 straight titles, and 21 straight matches going into the final(including a final set bagel over Lendl at the Sydney Indoors). So it was pretty shocking that Lendl beat Becker in 3 straight sets and faced no break points(no service game even went to deuce). It was probably the best week of his career(also he played matches every day, the YEC was played in shorter amount of days back then)

[@ZlatniPlast]

BUT NO BIG 3 NO MURRAY IN THE NITTO. PLUS HE NEVER MET ALCARAZ

[@MasseyVF]

Have to admire the way Fritz has gone beyond his natural talents. He's pretty to look at but not his tennis - looks awkward & clumsy compared to the stroke making & movement of the gifted ones like Federer or Dimitrov so he has worked like a demon (like Alex has as well!) to optimise what he has. Kudos 🙌🔥💪👏

[@al1976-v7m]

True. I found an interesting article online by USTA coaches evaluating Taylor's game some years ago, where they diagnose that his strokes are a bit old school in that they're "all arm" and not using the body properly. If you read that verdict it's actually really inpressive how far he's come this year. His coach Michael Russell and his influencer girlfriend really managed to get the max out of him. Being seeded 4th at the Aussie Open will give him a good shot at another potential deep run.

[@joannemoore3976]

There's a possibility Sinner and Fritz will meet again at Davis Cup. It's the new Sinner Medvedev 😅

@@nikhils2381 yeah that too, but during this year he took another step down and he was clearly less hopeful the more he got destroyed by Jannik

[@Julian_orwell]

I think no one in the tennis world disputes the claim that Sinner's serve is his weakest core attribute. But the stats mentioned in your podcast do not say much. The point is not whether he significantly improved 1st serve percentage or speed after changing his technique. The most visible improvement that separates his current serve performance from two years ago is the fact that he can serve big when it matters. In pressure points or when defending break points. His serve used to break easily in those situations, now it's become a huge weapon. And yes, it's not as consistent as it should be yet, but that doesn't matter too much. I feel like you've missed the point entirely there.

[@arvinds4961]

I checked in atp site now sinner is ranked 5th in serve rating and highest first and second serve points won .

I like your analyses but i can’t understand why people can’t recognize the greatness of his backhand. He is one of the few players that whips his backhand, it is technical perfection. It is as dangerous as his forehand. Compare that to Fritz who has an average backhand at best.

I realize there's some nuance to this, i.e. it's not so much a matter of running shots down but the ability to do something with your shot once you get there. In alphabetical order I'm thinking about Alcaraz, Borg, Chang, Djokovic, Nadal, Sinner. I'd also like to hear from the peeps here on that question.

Yep and i think it's no coincidence he and Novak both started out as skiiers when they were very young, before they actually started playing tennis. Skiing requires you to keep your center of gravity low and move left and right constantly while staying balanced and keeping your eyes glued to the course in front of you. Timing and visual processing are key elements. That's why Jannik is truly Novak 2.0 and will probably achieve similar greatness.

[@juliavandenb2658]

Hi Gill, when you talk about the Fritz - Zverev matchup you left out some factors: Wimbledon. Zverev had a knee injury which happened the match before Norrie. he was playing on one leg basically and struggling from set 3 on. US Open: Zverev was not well physically. Not sure if you know, but he has had lung issues later diagnosed as pneumonia since probably Hamburg. Laver Cup: you excluded it, but Zverev was really sick there, in hospital a few days before. So in all of their last matches, Zverev was not well. Might as well be mental, but it certainly did not start out that way. Why are you not including this info in your analysis?

[@soulfood2453]

American favoritism

[@RealisticAndTrue]

Strong finnish of a incredible season, 70-6 , 8 titles, won last one without dropping a single set... that is greatness, the only downside to all this is the "dopping massage". As for Taylor... he just has to keep doing what hes doing, keep working on your game, hes contesting finals, playing against the best in the world, hes time will come if he continues to work on his game. In my eyes hes better then Zverev right now

[@mt817]

Despite initial skepticism, it's clear that he's dominating his matches lately, almost as if he's competing against a less experienced opponent. The frequency of extended rallies that once characterized his games has significantly decreased. Would you still characterize his serving performance as merely average? It seems you're not fully appreciating Jannik's current form. That's understandable; nonetheless, his fan base continues to support him wholeheartedly.

[@joyrichards1419]

And to my eyes and ears, Gill also supports Jannik more than just wholeheartedly, but with everything to back up what he sees. Remember when he said that going to Rotterdam and winning straight after the AO showed that 'he was cut from a different cloth'. I've never heard him talk about any other player like that.

Tennis commentators and analysts have tremendous recency bias and grossly exaggerating Sinner's domineering performance this year on hard courts as the best season ever in history. No way this can favourably compare with 2011 performance quantitatively and qualitatively when Novak beat Nadal and Federer to win most of his tournaments. He won three slams that year, beat Nadal six times consecutively in all major tournaments, had a 10-1 H2H against Fedal, won sunshine doubles and was almost unbeatable that year. Even 2006 season of Federer pales into insignificance compared to Novak's feat because Novak achieved that feat breaking the hegemony of two of the all time Great players. That was the starting point of his dominance in a majestic way which extended for more than a decade except for a brief interregnum when he lapsed into an elbow injury between 2017 to early 2018.

gonna bit a contrarian here but i really think this was a numbers-wise an impressive and dominating run, but if we look at who he's faced during his run, not so impressive - he didnt get in-form alcaraz or even az, the rest of the players are clearly very comfortable opponents for sinner, he had way tighter matches with young players who're still outside of top 10 during this season (hopefully we're in a transitional period, and half of the current top 10 will leave it as soon as possible and younger and more competitive guns will start entering it), but again, id say even nalbandian's or davydenko's finals runs were way impressive than the recent one and it's still incomparable to the ones anyone from big 3 has ever had despite the smallest number of sets being dropped

And honestly, Jannik's rise last ~12 months was just astonishing. I get that at the age of 23 a lot of guys start to enter their prime, but again, the difference between Jannik 20 months ago and like 6 months ago...seemingly overnight went from the guy who was vomiting and had kinda physical problems, winning 1 masters - to being an absolute machine. Faster, stronger, more consistent, everything. Again, seemingly overnight. It's just feels a bit weird to me. Anyway, i was giving him benefit of the doubt and I guess i will continue doing so. And his tennis truly was immaculate this year. It's just that it feels kinda weird to me, can't help it.

Agree. I am a bit puzzled that Gill is totally not mentioning it. Just raving about his dominance and casually ignoring the fact that this guy had two positive doping tests, with a substance also used as masking agent - and that he has presented the silliest story of how it happened, and that the whole thing was covered up for months. Any normal person not too smitten with the tennis world would get sceptical.

[@clagini]

Guys, just read the 50 pages PUBLISHED verdict and read the rules. He wasn't allowed to talk about it until the process was over, that is the rule, not a choice. Everyone, even the WADA, has ruled out doping, because the ammount of substance was so small, it was riddicolous and in no way it helped with his performance (doctors specialized said this, not some random people). He never refused to answer questions since it came out and he was allowed to talk about it. How can it be shady when everything is written black and white. The appeal from WADA is only for neglingence (should have checked more what his team was doing), they also ruled out doping, I think it's time to stop with this nonsense about unclearness. 😅😅😅😅

SURE dude we're all sure that that 0.00000000000000000001 of shit found in his fucking eyelashes made him a dominant and historical player all of a sudden. Dude you people are the worst

[@Julian_orwell]

@@EllisHynde The fact that you still believe it was a cover up says a lot about you.

[@JB-im5kt]

Yes, Sinner is a great player. Is he doping now? Probably not. Doesn’t change the fact he got preferential treatment in his failed tests. His story/alibi is still ridiculous and unbelievable. No way his team could be that stupid. I think all anyone wants is a fair playing field for all. Until his failed tests are addressed the cloud will remain.

[@leominerva3494]

Non è doping ma negligenza, lo dice anche la Wada!Ma voi non capite un cazzo perché siete invidiosi come quell'altro scemo di Kirgyos!

[@VanLee00]

The ATP is a snooze fest. I despise Taylor Fritz with a passion. No mentality. All of the tools. But will never get over the hump against these high end players. I pray Alcaraz stays healthy and starts a family like Fed and Novak did so he can fullyindulge in tennis and dominate. I refuse to watch Sinner mollywhop everybody.

[@marissssss11111]

You are such a snooze fest.

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

L take. Fritz literally does not have the tools to beat Sinner, his forehand is worse, his backhand is worse, his movement is worse, his touch is worse, only his serve is better. It's actually quite incredible he managed to reach this level and if you look at the Zverev match you can see he was more clutch and better mentally. And you can refuse to watch Sinner destroy everyone because he is simply the best right now and hits really big, but good luck with that and I don't really understand why you wouldn't want to as he is a nice guy and plays amazing tennis.

How is anti-microbial a "big word"? How patronising.

Sorry? I mean, I've definitely never used that word in my life before the ad read so I might be a moron but I'm not patronizing. And I'd rather be called the former.

Fritz for world nb1 ranking at the next year end season. Go Fritz.

[@EllisHynde]

Gil, why are you not mentioning the doping affair, when you praise Sinner achievements? Are you seriously just ignoring this? Do you not think it is the weirdest coincidence that he goes on the crazy run in the year where he also had two positive doping tests? Disappointed at your lack of objctivity and sucking up to Sinner fans.

[@clagini]

Because there is a verdict that you can read, that clearly says that it wasn't doping and even WADA did non appeal it (the appeal is just about the fact that WADA believes he should have checked more his team, not the substance part), bacause it's a scientific data. I trust more indipendent organisms specialized in this and their verdict based on science, than who said by random people.

[@davidedipaolo8640]

Wtf he played like shit when he tested positive while he played his absolute best in Davis and AO and he was clear then genius

[@TheFlowMind]

He mentioned multiple times in the past citing the sentence specifically. Also there is no answer until at least Jan-Feb 25. What’s the point of talking again?

Another frustrated hater

[@gabefrancas5397]

There's a whole section of the video on it you clown

[@Soffi_Sof]

Tennis fans/podcasters are some of the most gullible people ever if they believe Sinners "my trainer bought cream in italy with a "doping" sign on it and brought it to the US in case someone cuts their finger and oops my physio then cut his finger and treated it for a week with a cream with a well known prohibited substance and he massaged my crusty open wounds skin with his open wound and when I got my positive result I immediately knew why that must be despite not questioning before if he had used cream on his finger" story. Are you people seriously so naive? You too, Gill?

[@lsb9073]

Bcos the amount found in both tests was compatible with contamination by a tiny bit of cream as like from a cut on someone else's finger, and not at all compatible with PED abuse. Simples.

[@TheFlowMind]

Read the sentence. It’s not that difficult 😂

[@francescojsb]

In fact, all the judges of the independent tribunal who acquitted Sinner without guilt or negligence are naive, and Wada is also naive, having appealed only to assign him negligence, accepting that it was only an accidental contamination. On the other hand, all the haters frustrated with envy who bark at Sinner believe they are smart.

all you guys think Sinner can't get those muscles naturally.... are you serious? His muscles are nowhere near peak natural. He might be taking creatine and protein powder. and other natural things like that. maybe not even that. you guys are ridiculous

[@stevenbenson3205]

You really think hes non testing like all players? You have some problems. However no top player would be so stupid to do doping with that substance
