An aside..Alexandrova was the only player to take a set off Sabalenka...justifies my support of her. !!

Nope. Tennis is a cathedral, not a warehouse.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2024 2:06 am Sinner combines the strengths of Djokovic (the stretch, the speed, the defense) and Federer (the effortless ease, serve, forehand) - Alcaraz combines the best of Nadal and Federer ..and he is a better volleyer than Federer ..the future of tennis is bright, and Djokovic/Nadal/Federer get some credit for it ..
R/R/N can take credit. So can Pete and Agassi, who introduced innovations to the game (Pete showed the new way of serving, Agassi was the mold for many Two handed BH's). Edberg and Becker were heroes in Europe and helped the ascendance of the players there. Before that, Lendl and Borg in Europe and McEnroe and Connors in the USA made the sport popular in both places.
Even "smaller" players can take credit. Chang was the very first player that started sliding on hard courts. Courier showed that unorthodox backhands could work. Rios showed that slapping and breaking your wrist generated more power, and he was the first one to display that "jumping on one leg" BH.
Again, it is a cathedral, and a large one.

Assuredly you saw the text on the court. Here is an article referring to science associated with it.

Does anybody know who was the girl sitting next to Kalinskaya in the Sinner's box during the final?

You can play tennis into your 70's, at a good level. I remember a gentleman at a club I used to play. He was around 70, and his groundstrokes were still damn good and powerful. Sure, he had limited mobility, but he was fit.
And I once got my butt kicked by a 50 yo older man (man, how time passes). I was 20. He jerked me around the court like a trout.
