Thank god Alcaraz is back. I really lost interest in tennis last 2-3 months without him competing. So much charisma and the way he plays is just a pure joy to watch. No hate on Sinner, but..

None of the above, from AP and Fed, do I disagree with - but you keep shifting what I'm actually saying. All I said is that I think Shelton is more likely to win a Slam than Fritz. Do you agree or disagree with that? Don't forget that Shelton is 23 and Fritz is almost 29.
I agree that Shelton is more likely, but still for any US man to win one, a lot of things have to break their way. A favorable draw, some heavenly help to take out Chuck and a newly inspired Zed. Plus playing the match of their life in the final against another American. Not impossible, just improbable.

heck, I think it helped Safin. Gave him someone to show out for. Besides he needed to win some slams so he could continue to finance his social life.
This Safin in his prime " Safin in Russia is known as the Kurgan as "the strongest of all the immortals" / "the perfect warrior." If the Kurgan wins the Prize, mortal man would suffer an eternity of darkness"

It's true, but it seems to be getting better match by match. Today he showed all the weapons and it was smooth sailing for him.
Keli predicted he would he would get better as the tournament progressed... Unless Tommy can reproduce Verdasco AO 2009 vs Rafa, he cant do anything to make the game uncomfortable for Carlito.

Tits did good to get this far for the 1st time in his life. I see Patrick is back in the coaching box after cutting Daddy loose.
