2025 French Open Men's Final: Yannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz

[MargaretMcAleer]

She apologized and made a new statement today, but still sour.

I read that earlier a tad too late for my liking quite frankly
Engage Brain Saba next time before opening your Big Mouth

she only apologized because she took a beating on social media yesterday.

 

[kskate2]

what is Mac wearing? That green tie is hideous w/ that suit

 

[kskate2]

Now Bean understands how Meddy felt last year. Surrendering a 2 set lead is harsh, but in a slam final, it's just plain brutal man

 

[Front242]

Fiero, is that you?

Alcaraz is not "leagues ahead" and whether he ends up with "way more Slams" is highly debatable and completely unknown. To say that is "clear from this final" outdoes Fiero at his most hyperbolic.

5-2 already in slams is more than double so we'll agree to disagree. 6-2 quite possibly in a few weeks.

I read an article from Cahill saying they were pleased Jannik got to the final, though were still hesitant to see his 'real playing level' being out for 3 months and only allowing to practice a little before Rome and then into RG
I will be interested to read what he says about this match and tournament overall.

If was hoping if I waited a minute, someone else would take on Front for this comment. No reason for this "prediction" of his. Carlos was defending champion, and it was a ridiculously close and dramatic match. Could have gone either way, in the end. They hopefully have a long rivalry ahead, and surely Jannik has a lot of Majors in him. Not hard to predict a French Open or two for him, either. He gets very high marks for the tournament, coming in without much prep.

Okay this stat is one for the book marks,
Carlos Alcaraz has won his 5th GS title at the exact same age as Rafa Nadal when he achieved the same feat!

Sinner broke Carlos in the first game of the 3rd set, but he failed to confirm a break. The match was so long I almost forgot about this momentum shift.

and 5:0 in GS finals.

That was when the momentum shifted. Almost seemed too little, too late. But yes, that was hours ago, and hard to remember how that match seemed like it would be over in straights.

If you're referring to Carlos, he's 5-0 in finals. Hasn't lost one yet.

Deep down I knew this match would be Not be over in straight sets.

 

[kskate2]

I heard that Adam guy say TNT had 10 years to cover RG. That must be the coverage contract they signed

No one voted for that, either. I did really think it would go 5, before today, whoever won.

I voted for 4 and I thought I was on the Money, then that pesky Spanish player came along and had other ideas LOL!

I don't love it, but I hate it much less than I hated ESPN. And I think they make it easier to watch more matches for free?

No, I meant he has 5 slams to Sinner's 2 and soon to be 6-2 I reckon. Can't see anyone beating Alcaraz at Wimbledon. Sinner just took a huge mental beating and Alcaraz got a massive confidence boost coming back from the brink of death saving those 3 match points.

5-0 in finals is unreal alright but not the stat I was pointing out. If it pans out he wins Wimbledon, I stand by what I said with leagues ahead and that Alcaraz will end up with way more slams barring injury.

Got it. As to Carlos winning Wimby. There will be challenges there too. Just depends on the day. We know how fast things can change on grass against a big server. Draper will have home backing. Hopefully he won't bomb out early like he did here.
