I might last a set with the two Russians but the other two? One game and I'm out.

Bad news for you... Sinner will win many Slams in the next 10 years.

I keep waiting to get excited about him, too. Not that I've seen many of his matches.

Re: '22 USO Mens Draw & Discussion
So... while everyone was talking about Berrettini - Kyrgios, it won't happen.
Ruud beat Berrettini, as I said he would .
Most people regularly underestimate Ruud (as seen on this discussion board). I assume this occurs because he's not spectacular. But spectacular doesn't inherently translate to successful. Often, slow and steady wins the race...

Re: '22 USO Mens Draw & Discussion
I picked Kyrgios, after initially picking Nadal.
I don't want to pick Ruud. Don't want to jinx him.

Re: '22 USO Mens Draw & Discussion
I have. And, I repeat:
(*Suliso is probably right, but, I'm hoping this is just Suliso's way to jinx Sinner's career. )

Re: '22 USO Mens Draw & Discussion
LOL, and pffffffftttttt- my "pick" is still in. Do I now win a trophy, since everyone else had Nick? (Albeit, when Carlos loses to Sinner, I guess this means no pretty little imaginary trophy for me).

What's wrong with Jannik? A really nice fellow. I'll be rooting for him against the overhyped Alcaraz.

Nothing’s wrong IMO. I just haven’t caught the fever. Haven’t had a chance to watch him much. I watch more WTA anyway.Suliso wrote:What's wrong with Jannik? A really nice fellow. I'll be rooting for him against the overhyped Alcaraz.

Re: '22 USO Mens Draw & Discussion
Playing style, to me. Sinner still has to put some more muscle on those bones before approaching Berdych.
Personality wise, I feel he is great. Behaves well, has been very open about how much he respects his parents for putting him through tennis, while holding jobs at a restaurant (which they still do). I have yet to see him misbehaving in court, so as a person, I say he is tops.
His playing style is a bit bland for me, but nothing that we have not seen before and not got to like: yes, Berdych, but the same as Delpo, CIlic and all the other monster bashers from both wings.
He will win slams, when he gets a good draw. Which could be this Sunday, as he has a good chance against anybody else in the draw.
