I'll see if I can find it on the recording of the entire match & let you know where to find it on iPlayer. wink I thought it was priceless.

Great that Djokovic's threatened comeback in the 3rd set came to nothing so I didn't kerching on my fears.

Sinner vs Alcaraz, who's winning that? I thought Sinner for the title at the start but I now lean to Alcaraz.

Alcaraz- 4 sets. Sinner is lucky to be there. Dimitrov would have won; Djoko was not 100 percent. Alcaraz is just a level above, IMO

I've never watched them play, so I'm interested, but as you say, Sinner shouldn't be there, so Alcaraz for. me

Neil Gee · County player

Sinner showed he has a champions mentality to pull himself together after coming so close at Roland Garros and also struggling in earlier rounds but to rise to the occasion and prevail here like this. It takes real mental toughness to do what Jannik did today. He proved that he has a champion's mindset.

The rivalry is certainly one to be excited about for the future - a clear gap, on the whole, to the rest of the players

The year that both mens and women's champions had served drugs bans.

A really enjoyable match, and not only that but that they both said that they have a good relationship off court and a rivalry on. It feels a lot more human and healthy than the last generation.

I do wonder whether now there's not a Brit involved it's less personal for me too.

Glad and surprised to see Sinner say that his team made him into a better tennis player, but more importantly a better person too. It does feel very different from the Muzzah era.

Hope that Jack can feature in there somehow, but those two seem quite a way in front of the pack right now.

I enjoyed that match. Wanted Carlos to win but not to be. Sinner read his game too well. Looking forward to many more of these matches. We could do with another couple of players to challenge them. Not seeing anyone on the horizon so far.
