Carlos can do that to opponents. Just ask Novak in SF in 3rd set.

A good look here on the match stats courtesy of flashscore.

Any of you familiar with flashscore? I often frequent this.

After three sets, interestingly that neither champion has good service percentages going with Sinner at 52 percent and Carlos not much better at 55%.

They're aware of the danger of the other, and they cut it closer. They have to.

1st serves are low percentages, but probably some of it is due to risks taken.

Sinner service - he's having to defend on every service game.

Now Carlos 1st serve is working like a charm when he needed it.

Let me just say: it hasn't rained a drop, and now the sun is out. Any basic weather forecast would tell them that. They should have played with the roof off. Not that it matters, except the principle of the thing.

when they're going in Alcaraz has a decisive margin of 84% of points won to Sinner's 62% but that can all change, right:yes:

Good on you Mox, i guess what you're alluding to is that we'd have a better final standard had they played without the roof.

Trophy engraver guy knows this won't last long. He is polishing the thing meticulously.
