Some of the points between Charly and Jannik have had standing ovations from the crowd!

Going 3 sets, Sinner had his chances to break back but could not convert in the 2nd set, made too many ufe
Charly 6-3 much better play than the 1st set

Very sad. Jannik was having some issues with his right leg. Then that point for the break, I just don’t see him coming back from that.
Apart from his leg he has a wrist issue too, he played soo well in the 1st set, as well, anyway that is how the cookie crumbles at times, got to take the good with the bad,

Sinner's overhitting on just about every shot! No wonder he's down 2 brks in the 3rd set! The UFE's mounting! Say good-bye to being #2 Monday! ;)
If you actually watched the match you would understand what the problem is with Jannik

Got to give credit to Charly he got his errors under control, his fhand started doing damage and his drop shots were fantastic, also he is controlling the center of the court

Well done Charly ending Sinners 19 match winning streak to reach back to back finals at IW
11 consecutive wins at IW, 6th Master finals at 20 years old
Stays at No 2
Now 4-4 with Sinner ATP Level!
Charly is the first player since Roger Federer (2017-2918) to reach the final while defending the IW Mens Singles title

I heard there was a fall, but didn't see it. I hope that Sinner didn't lose just because of physical issues. I do think Alcaraz was making good adjustments even before that.

In any case, I like their rivalry. They seem to like each other, and play amazing shots against each other.
