Shapo likes to beat himself.

He had Sinner down 0-3 in the third set then lost 9 consecutive games. He won the ace battle 12 - 4, then double faulted on the next serve. You can't do that against Sinner, he'll eat you with fava beans and a nice Chianti. There no player more frustrating to watch than Shapo, he's all talent but no guile.

Mingia FAA has made it to the SF.

And he beat the best defensive player in the ATP to do it. At first, i thought he was going to choke again, he ate four break attempts. Then he rallied taking two tie breaks on his way to victory against Alex (McLovin) De Minaur.

More than likely he'll face Sinner next.

FAA has 2-1 record over Sinner, his 2 wins were a few years ago, Sinner beat FAA recently.

Great game Alcatraz- Djoko, Djoko is past his time but I'm sure he can still make money. Alcatraz is supper fit, looking forward to watch the game tonight, but I think Sinner is going to win.

well Sinner did not win. I feel he was a bit off Thoughts? Fave of the USO was the Venus/Leylah team. That was a lot of fun while it lasted

Alcaraz just looked better overall in the final. Which, to be fair, he usually does against Sinner.
Head-to-head, he's been the better player, even if not always ranked such overall.

Sinner had to bail on the Cinci final due to injury/illness. So it possible he was still nursing something at the USO. In the final is ball striking did not seem to have the crispness it normally has. Perhaps also the semis against FAA took a bigger chunk out of him then Carlitos romp over Musetti.

I don't think anyone was expecting this

"It wasn't the match I was expecting": Carlos Alcaraz admits Taylor Fritz's performance stunned him in Laver Cup defeat

The team led by Andre Agassi won all four matches. One of those victories came over the reigning world number one, Alcaraz, who suffered a thumping defeat against Fritz. The 27-year-old came into the match winless against Alcaraz in three outings, but things turned on their head in the match, where the 2024 US Open runner-up was just unstoppable as he defeated the six-time Grand Slam winner in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-2.
Alcaraz spoke to the media after the match and admitted that he was caught by surprise by Fritz’s display on the day. Alcaraz praised Fritz for playing a ‘great’ game of tennis. Alcaraz stated that he congratulated Fritz for the way he played the match and admitted that he expected himself to play much better on the day.
