Imagine if the men played best of 3 Novak would be on 30 slams or moreImagine paying for that womans final. If you went to lineup to buy a snack and returned to your seat the match was already over

Wouldn’t have made a difference
Iga would’ve won the third in 30 min max.
If it’s lopsided it’s lopsided

Disagree!Imagine if the men played best of 3 Novak would be on 30 slams or more
The big 3 all win/ won more in GS than regular tournaments because they are so hard to beat over 5 sets.
Novak is 24-12 (67%) in GS finals
Vs 40-18 (69%) in ATP 1000 finals
Beat Thiem 2020 AO down 2 sets to 1.
Nadal over Medvedev 2022, Sinner over Medvedev this year both down 2 sets to 0.
Not saying they have an unfair advantage, but more that a 5 setter usually Takes random chance / a poor start out of it, and the cream rises to the top.

For comparison
Federer 65% win in GS finals, 56% in 1000 finals
Nadal 73% vs 68%

So we have Zverev in his first grand slam final since the 2020 US Open defeat at the hands of Thiem, looking for his first major and Alacraz coming off an epic against Sinner, looking to collect a third slam.

It's crazy to think Alcaraz has won two slams and it is his first final at the French.

Let’s go Carlos tonight.

They could have played 15 sets...
Paolini wouldm't won any of them. It happens. I think Paolini did all she could and tried to take it up to her.
Iga just had 2 more gears. 3-in-a-row. 4 out of the last 5.

I am shocked that Carlos is such a heavy fav for this match.
Personally, I think Zverev will win. The guy was going to beat Nadal in 2022 before that ankle injury.

Can’t read much into that French Open 2022 match in my opinion.
Nadal won the first set and they were 6 all in the second set. Nothing to suggest Zverev would have beaten Nadal before the ankle injury.

Zverev…. Very servebot type. Annoying game to watch.
I wonder if he has learnt anything from the 2020 US Open. Playing a much better opponent this time but he is much more in form as well.

I knew this might happen, we’d start doing what it technically is or something. But yeah, question is why just now? And it’s annoying I’ll be sticking with the Z lol
Another break, this time at love lol. Alcaraz in 3 easy sets, maybe one TB.

Carlos has a real advantage here. He has won 2 Grand Slams already so it would be less pressure and he’d have a good understanding of what he would need to do to win another.
It’s harder for Zverev.

no jinxing!!
Yah not sure. If it came from Carlos then fair and good on them. Seems unlikely though for him to comment mid tournament.
Can’t complain if a commentator does their job. I spend enough time whinging about underprepared AFL callers, so I should be grateful haha

Geech, Zverev using all of the shot clock.
He needs to. Got to stop Carlos from running away with it
