Djokovic v Fritz, Sinner v Rublev, Gauff And Sabalenka At Australian Open

I have to say there has been a HUGE overreaction to Sinner and Rune. And I to a degree have been influenced by it as well. It’s as if a lot of the media and people have bypassed Zverev and Medvedev. Zverev accomplished way more at 22 years old than Sinner has. Sinner hasn’t even been to a Grandslam Final yet. Rune hasn’t even been to a Grandslam Semifinal yet. In Rome on Runes best surface and Medvedevs worst surface Rune lost in straights. Zverev beat Sinner in the US Open. Zverev is 4 and 1 against Sinner. Don’t get me wrong, I know Sinner and Rune are going to win slams in the future. But this talk of a new big 3 with Alcaraz, Rune and Sinner while bypassing everyone older than them is a bit premature. Alcaraz has now lost in back to back Slams against Medvedev and Zverev. Zverev even said to the media last year something like, we’re still here too. The hype is huge for Sinner more than the Rune and Alcaraz at the moment. Does Djokovic even have a chance on Friday? Lol. Sinner won some best of 3 set matches against Medvedev, Djokovic and Alcaraz in the last 4 months, which is huge for him. But it’s not what it’s being hyped up to be. Sinner might very well win the Australian Open this year. He definitely has a chance. But it won’t surprise me at all if he doesn’t. It won’t surprise me at all if he doesn’t win a Slam in 2024. He’s going to get to number 1 in the future. He’s going to win slams. But I have to say the hype is much higher Than his actual accomplishments so far. Alcaraz has already been effected by the hype train. It won’t surprise me if Sinner gets effected by it as well.

And just to add one thing. Prizmic at 18 already looks like a more aggressive version of Rune and already has better stamina than him. It won’t surprise me if what happened to Tsitsipas and Zverev happens to Rune. Where they were expecting to win Grandslams and it hasn’t happened so far. If Rune doesn’t get his stamina problems fixed, there’s no way I see him winning 7 best of 5 set matches in 2 weeks ever. My point is that there are other players too. Younger, older and the same age.

Nike Dave, Nike!
All three are Nike boys, atm the accent is on Alcaraz. Alcaraz is their poster boy, everything is meticulously planed, from his outfits, to way he conduct himself, what he is saying and doing, nothing is spontaneous anymore.

Nike PR machine and media are doing what they are assigned to do, I really believed you figured that out by now.

Agree about Dino, I just hope it’s not one of, very promising player.
