Berretini looked amazing. He manhandled Khachanov in their practice match. Some new italian kid I had never seen or heard before really impressed me with his movement, energy and explosiveness. I forgot the name, I will get it from my buddy and post it later.p.s. going back tomorrow
Zverev also looked really good.
Couacaud played like a top-50 level against Munar even though Couacaud has a beer gut.

Zverev also looked really good.

Saw Rune vs FAA practice match. FAA beautiful shots and very heavy spin but quite error prone. Rune much 'faster' seemingly flatter shots, totally manhandled FAA. Rune is looking good I think for a deep run.
Rune hit at least 2 100+mph FH and 1 100+mph BH off FAA's 1st serve. Massive. Saw Dimitrov Musetti. Lovely games both of them. Musetti looks more composed. Saw Goffin play D.Novak, poor Goffin he is a shadow of his former self.
Saw Djoker practice but he was taking it really easy, it was not a practice match. He has the most repeatable strokes I've ever seen. It's like copy paste of each shot over and over again. Hence the incredible consistency and he does look super
Saw Fritz vs Norrie. Fritz was struggling with all the leftie stuff. Norrie was just solid, nothing spectacular but was easily controlling the points.

Norrie was just solid, nothing spectacular but was easily controlling

Alcaraz is the new big 3. Rune and Sinner are the new Murray and Wawrinka.Sinner seems so limited. I can't even see how he's better than Berdych but the only thing I see in him that's better than Berdych is that he seems to want to do anything to improve.
Rune has behavioral issues. Really nauseating to watch IMO.
I think Sinner and Rune will be lucky to have Murray/Wawrinka type careers. They're still young so we'll see how it all unfolds.

Saw Fritz vs Norrie. Fritz was struggling with all the leftie stuff. Norrie was just solid, nothing spectacular but was easily controlling the points.
Alcaraz, Rune and Sinner are the new big 3 imo.
Alcaraz is the new big 3. Rune and Sinner are the new Murray and Wawrinka.Sinner seems so limited. I can't even see how he's better than Berdych but the only thing I see in him that's better than Berdych is that he seems to want to do anything to improve.
Rune has behavioral issues. Really nauseating to watch IMO.
I think Sinner and Rune will be lucky to have Murray/Wawrinka type careers. They're still young so we'll see how it all unfolds.
Alcaraz surely can’t win everything?

I just find Sinner to be limited. A mindless ball-basher but Darren Cahill(his coach) must think differently. As for Rune, I tried to watch him once or twice and found him insufferable. He also has some weaknesses in his game from what >I saw. But
That's my knee jerk reaction too, but you just don't know with this kid. He hasn't really lost in a slam since he won his 1st last USO. He skipped AO and got cramps at FO so they are not indicative. Also I think these last 3 matches with Novak - FO/Wim/Cin have really raised his game. He's learnt a lot from Novak.

I feel he's about the hit the wall short term.
You saw it already with him struggling vs Paul in multiple matches, losing 2 and winning a close third one.
1 such match vs Paul might be explained by Wimbledon fatigue and content, but not all 3.
It tells you just like anyone else, he can have match up issues, so there are parts of his game that can be probed.
He's also played 4 matches with Djokovic and he's not winning any easier, it's staying close.
The future belongs to him, but as other players get familiar with him, especially the ones who study the game, they will neutralise him to an extent, before his physical peak truly begins and his perfection kicks off.
Djokovic is already reading his game a lot better and the next 3 or 4 matches will be Djokovic's chance to score some great legacy points in their meetings.
After that, adios.

----Android NewsGroup Reader---- https://piaohong.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usenet/index.htmlThere was an obvious weakness in his last match with Djoker. Djoker was rushing him on the FH side and Alcaraz kept dumping forehands into the net. I lost count of how many.

Sinner has the game but not the mentality of a champion. He appears satisfied with losses (contrast with Alcaraz crying after loss to
Novak the other day), talks about work/life balance being important
and Federer got it right etc. That's crazy talk. Roger had already
won huge number of slams before work/life balance thing. Sinner has
to prove himself before he takes it easy. He really needs a good
coach to fire him up.
