Hard to see anyone beat Alcaraz

Two things were proven today..Alcaraz is the best volleyer in the world..and in a tie break, never play a shot you haven't played in the match thus far! Percentages..

Indeed. I think Jannik can do it, but the percentages are piling on favor of Alcaraz.
This time, for RG, we will most likely agree. Alcaraz a prohibitive favorite, Sinner for the possible upset, the field for the Hail Mary.

Look where Sinner was!

Near the end of the first set, Carlitos was serving at 4-5, and Sinner had two set points at 15-40. Carlos hit a first serve out wide; it wasn't a monster. It was tricky but returnable. Sinner hit a chip return that landed in the middle of the net. He was never really the same after that, though he did come back to life to hold down 0-5 and make Carlos work for it to serve out the match.

I want a 5-set Roland Garros final between these two. I shall settle for nothing less.

I think you will get your final. I don't think it will go 5 sets.
Something about Carlos' game bothers Jannik.

Maybe just the clay...

I don't know. The clay did not bother him one bit on that terrible plastering of Ruud.
And I really only guessing. I can't see what makes Carlos' game hard for Jannik.
