I did see that entire match, clearly JMac didnt have the stamina, he just got tired. Lendl's physical conditioning..
Lendl was starting that phase in his career in which he was fitter than anybody, indeed. And yes, stamina may have been a factor.
But those first two sets from Mac were amazing. I can only compare them to the 1991 USO final, when Edberg was hitting winning volleys from his shoelaces.

I saw elsewhere they did an AI mashup of Musetti and Fritz because they weren't sure Fritz was going to play. What an absolute cluster.

The season is too long.
Until they give you 6 million reasons to go play.
Yeah, I have never been offered 6 million liras to do anything. I guess I would go.

At the start of the season Christian Harrison & Evan King needed a wild card into qualifying as a team. Now they are in the running to make the year end finals. They just made the finals in Brussels. Follow along as they make the final push!!! 🎾

Whom do we have as most likely to win year end awards? Below are my candidates.

ATP

Player of the year: Alcaraz (maybe Sinner if he wins WTF)
Most improved: Shelton
Comeback of the year: FAA
Newcomer of the year: Fonseca (Thien wouldn't surprise)

WTA

Player of the year: Sabalenka
Most improved: Anisimova
Comeback of the year: Bencic
Newcomer of the year: Mboko (honorable mentions to Joint and Valentova)

Most improved: Shelton - Draper
Comeback of the year: FAA - yes, probably FAA
Newcomer of the year: Fonseca (Thien wouldn't surprise) - Tien (fonseca didnt actually do much)

WTA

Player of the year: Sabalenka - Sabalenka, I agree.. 1 major rin, 2 major finals..
Most improved: Anisimova - Anisimova for sure
Comeback of the year: Bencic - Osaka, I would say.. Bencic already came back strong last year, I would say..
Newcomer of the year: Mboko (honorable mentions to Joint and Valentova) - probably Mboko yes, but honorable mention Jovic

Cristian - her erect posture, ramrod-stiff back, her walk(more like a stride) reminds me so much of Veronika Kudermetova...
