Jannik Sinner just beat Alex De Minaur 7-5 6-4
to claim ATP500 Rotterdam title. As far as I
know, his winning streak is now 12 matches
(7 wins in the Australian open and 5 more in
Rotterdam).
I checked out ATP Live Rankings and it seems
to me that Daniil Medvedev lost 500 points
and Sinner gained 200. Sinner's championship
is just enough for reaching #3 in the ATP
Rankings. The difference between Sinner and
Medvedev is only 5 ATP points.
Well done, Sinner! You are now a Grand Slam
men's singles champion and you also have reached
The Top Three in the ATP Rankings!

It's nice to have someone new in the mix that can challenge Djokovic
since Alcaraz is a little lost these days.
I still would like to see Sinner repeating this win against Djokovic
in any of the next few slams because I think Djokovic played really
bad that day. I know he is getting older and will have more bad days,
but his level that day was awful.
Haven't you heard? Father Time caught up with Djokovic that day,
reducing him from superman to average schmoe in a heartbeat. Once
thus caught, he can never go back because Father Time has him by the
monogalooloos. There will never be another slam or even a slam final
for Djokovic.
yes but that's also because Sinner is the NEW YOUNG GUN of tennis, he's
about to win every slam for the next 10 years at least!

I think Alcaraz is more talented but for now his game plan is only
about hitting winners through the defense of other players and when it
doesn't work he gets reduced to a confused little kid looking at his
coach for solutions.
He doesn't have the different game plans yet to handle different
playing styles, and I don't know if he will develop this or not, but
if he did he will dominate everyone else.
Alcaraz simply plays on instinct and has no clear strategy. He's so talented he's already won Wimbledon and USO anyway. You do need
instinct to achiever at the goat level, but you also need
strategy/tactics to get through the meat and potato games. Imo he needs
a good tactical coach, can keep Ferrero as a mentor.

strategies to counter his tendencies.
This allowed opponents to play him closer, and if we add to that either
a mechanically off day, or a special number of boneheaded plays, he now
loses some.
But he's still maybe the best raw talent I've seen. And I think he's
likely to become smarter, over time.

Does Ferrero have what Alcaraz needs in the next stages of his career?
Ferrero is still needed as a small cog in a bigger wheel, bit like Goran
and Djokovic relationship. Carlos needs a real strategic coach not just
a mentor if he's going to really maximize his success. If he doesn't
change anything he'll still win a few slams, but only a 3rd of what he's fully capable of, and Sinner could also dominate Carlos with no changes.
