Fully expect Sinner to win but would be nice if Zverev can make it really difficult for him.

Well hes started alright. Personally would also prefer a Zverev win

Same.

I’m still rather disappointed with how they handled Sinner and that drugs test.

This is a dull match

After the break in the second set it was one way traffic. Sinner is the better player of the two. Could do an injury free alcaraz to restore parity

This.

Need Alcaraz back badly.

11-4 for Sinner. Really lopsided.

Jesus Christ! Human beings don’t hit forehands like Carlos Alcaraz does! Mate Tommy Paul look like an absolute chump!

The US Open is a farce. There has been a long running issue of games starting way too late and running deep into the morning. The Alcarez-Shelton game didnt start until midnight local time and didnt finish until nearly 4am. How the fuck can you call this a US open and keep putting the games in the middle of the night? The Aussie open has a more viewer friendly schedule for Americans than this tournament has

why do they keep going deeper and deeper into sleeping hours? Is it to minimise the effects of heat? Just ludicrous

Revenue for Flushing Meadows and the USTA. They take a completely different approach to ticketing where all key games are on center court (the only one with the top luxury boxes) and they are just more committed to getting through the printed schedule of matches than other tournaments are

Never really rated Zverev but this will be his 6th Grand Slam final. Hoping he can win his second tomorrow.

Don’t think I will be able to watch until the end.

Zverev won the first set. Shelton seems a bit nervous.

Don’t worry Zverev is up by two sets. Shelton has a bad matchup with Zverev.
I’m calling it for Zverev now

For goodness sake Americans. Please come up with something more imaginative than “USA! USA!”

Good lord! What has happened to tennis commentating?

Hey morons! You don’t need to fill every second between points with your (quoting Sheldon Cooper) geyser of nonsense!

Job done in four sets. Hahah Sasha was so in the zone he didn’t even know that he had won the match!

“Zverev becomes the first German male to win the US open”

Who employs these numb nuts?!

Did you hear about a certain Boris Becker?
