Ok, I severely underestimated his willpower. This young man has a good shot of reaching/surpassing the GOAT assuming no major injuries. Incredible display of resilience after those severe cramps in the previous match.

It's Alcaraz era now. Sinner and Zverev are behind and Djokovic is at the end. Something like Federer's prime years 2003-2007.

If so, he needs to make the most of it. Surely there will be another "Nadal/Djoker" coming up that will tailor their game to beat him.

Sinner might have had a good chance in the final actually if he had beat Djokovic in straight sets and went in as the fresher of the two, but he was cooked either way once that became a marathon 5 setter as well.

Neither Fonseca, Draper, Shelton, or anyone new looks close to challenging though so Sinner needs to step up a bit or next batch of majors might be a coronation for Alcanaldo.

Sinner seemed a little off this tournament both physically and mentally. He looked a lot better in the US Open.

Looks like he would, because Sinner especially is a constant threat, but not equal in my view.

Surely there's another generation coming up from the youth championships. It won't be 2026-2042 Alcaraz domination.
