Correction: Sinner was on a 5-match win streak against Medvedev, not four.
Are you going to be analyzing Alcaraz vs Paul? Or nothing much to say
@@sportsfan7332 It’s impossible for me to watch two matches at once as closely as I like, so the trouble is I got to Alcaraz vs. Paul late. At some point, I will be talking about it but not in its own video.
@@GillGross Don't read too much into this one Gil, Siinner woke up ill and just did his best to get through the match.
@@nigeltaylor3089 If you consider this, it's actually crazy he still managed to win more points than Medvedev and push him to five.
@@Grobmotoriker96 This loss shows us how much grit Sinner has. He won't wake up feeling dizzy on a regular basis, I hope not.
Sorry that Jannik was unwell but Meddy played well and deserved to win the match. In as much as I’m Sinner’s fan, i actually have a soft spot for Meddy as well, what a hard working man!!, i really wanted him to win this time, Sinner has achieved his dream of becoming # 1, i guess he’s happy with that, wishing him a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
Sinner tends to get sick whenever he is losing. He needs to work on his stamina.
I like Meddy. Good for him. But he won against a sick Jannik. And it still took 5 sets.
This was very necessary win for Meddy.
Yes. Lucky Sinner wasn't 100%.
To be fair, Medvedev was gassed after the first 2 sets of the AO final. @@lsb9073
Imo Jannik has still to learn to manage well his health and energies. For instance, as he was feeling off since the morning, he shouldn't have accepted the long rallies in the first set and search earlier for variety in his game (as he did after the medical break). Anyway, it's a process, a very important one, even for Nole it took some time. Kudos to Daniil that made it count the fact that he didn't play his previous match, but, as he knows, with Carlitos is going to be a whole different story.
It's easier said than done.
Medvedev deserves at least 3-4 more slams in his career. He is a fantastic player and very consistent overall.
The big 3 era denied a lot of players from winning GS ,,, 1 of 6 final is so hard but he keeps fighting.
he needs to stop choking in finals then
There’s a difference between consistently making semis/finals and winning Slams
Agree .. But will be hard with Carlos and Janik playing like that
I'd be happy if he got just one more. I think that would really put an exclamation on an already fantastic career. He can, on a given day, beat anyone. But can he beat two or three of the best players back to back - or back to back to back.
Im just going to say, ignoring all the haters, that I want a re-match when both players are fully fit. Im happy to hear Meddy's shoulder issue is resolving- that is good news cos his serving has been horrible for 12mo. I want him back where it is a weapon not a liability and where he is another #1 contender.
To me it was as clear as day that Sinner was sick. Sick means you're neither fully functioning mentally or physically
I want him recovered, back to his athletic & more creative best that he has proven he is now and Meddy's serve & all his wily ways fully firing and let's see these two go at it again.
No one beats Meddy 6 times in a row 😅💪🏻💪🏻
Carlos will
Last time this Carlos farlos was taken out in USopen. @@tounoni
Daniil is the biggest gladiator in men’s tennis right now..Rafa used to always talk about the willingness to suffer and no one grinds like daniil..the guy always manages to punch above his weight literally and figuratively😂…it’s the damn Russian doggedness and never give up mentality…love to see it❤❤…and what an entertainer he is..intelligent and articulate…no one like daniil…want a meddy vs djoker final🙏..
If Daniil reaches the final and loses again then that will be some record
@@yussepig6629 hahahha
He will loose against Djokovic
Meddy is on his way to have a Murray-esque career - one of my fav players for sure
Favorite for his never giving up.
@@TheSentinel909 😂 😂
Amazing analysis as usual Gill ,,
Sinner health problems and injury are his weakness, I hope he get over them sooner than later.
He will. Remember novak had a lot of issues early in his career. As someone else also said, jannik needs to work out how to cut off long rallies when he is not feeling good.
Your match breakdowns are where you truly shine Gill. Another great one.
Just to clarify about the 'dizziness': Sinner said in the press conference that he did not felt well the previous night and in the morning (indeed, he was late at the training session) and that this became more evident when the fatigue started to arrive. He also said that Medvedev deserved to win. I'm just reporting what he said when asked :)
Also, the 10 minutes was not an MTO but a 'medical assessments' which in the slams and in the ATP/WTA rules does not actual have a time limit.
Agreed with you but Medvedev win and he deserve that win, Sinner is still the No. 1 just advice to recover good not play the 250 and 500 tournament focus on masters and grand slams i like him and respect all the player.
@@jugoslavnamljidjiu9021The player who wins (almost) always deserves to win even if it's just because they managed to stay healthy while the opponent couldn't.
Medvedev also deserved to win because he played very well, but we'll never know if he would have won had Sinner not been feeling sick.
Why did a medical assessment require leaving the court?
@@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten goood night to you
@@tjj5755 Well that is a doctor/physio decision, not the player. Sinner said that the physio wanted him outside the court for some minutes, but I don't think we have the details of what happened.
Spot on regarding Sinner’s physicality. He should take care of his body if he wants a long career like the Big 3.
I totally agree of course. But, I feel like if he's a No. 1 ranked athlete, he has to already be doing everything possible in terms of physicality. Some people really are just more frail than others. I guess switching up training/rest regimens might help. I'm just saying that it doesn't always automatically help.
That's why Djokovic is goat,he understands his body@@bobbyc760
Yes I am sure he and his team already work hard on this. I have sometimes wondered if a change of diet could be key as it was for Novak. He gets allergies. Maybe he reacts to some foods. They will figure it out.
I’m sure they will figure it out so I agree with both of you. I’ve watched Sinner since before he was in the top 10 and he does struggle with physically gruelling matches. He’s a fighter til the end though. Whilst it has improved, however, it’s still an issue. Hope his team figures it out asap. Imagine how so much more formidable he will be if he can play back to back to back 5-setters.
I don't think anybody saw this coming, especially on this surface. Props to Medvedev for showing resilience and getting past the finish line despite being dominated by Sinner the last 10 months or so. As a Djokovic fan, I would much rather have Alcaraz as a finals opponent than Sinner despite the threat that the Spaniard poses. The big question remains whether Novak's knee can withstand the best of the best should he reach the finals.
So happy that Meddy won this one! Looking forward to his clash with Carlitos whilst hoping for the latter to defend the title lol. But still, if Meddy gets through I’d be happy for him, too
Great analysis gill! You should have had more faith in meddy like in your pre-tourn prediction :)
Medvedev is so gritty. His serve has declined significantly, and this match was no exception with 11 double faults. But he’s still finding ways to consistently go deep at majors and beat/challenge the top players.
Yes! Yet no-one in the on-court/post-matches question him on this! So frustrating as his serve was a weapon
Meddy clearly has a long term injury. He just doesn’t want to share it with his fan base. He’s a private guy. But my guess is the guy needs some type of surgery as his serve has clearly declined over the years.
About Meddy's return position: He was standing close on the deuce side, however, on the ad side, he was standing fairly far back according to a graphic.
Sinner was clearly unwell and his shots did not have their usual speed/weight. Medvedev did play exceptionally well though. Credit to Sinner for almost pulling out the win despite being ill and for Medvedev showing he can finally play on grass. Med did choke in some instances, but in the end finished strong. Hoping Sinner can learn from this, take care of himself and come back stronger.
Would've loved a Sinner vs Shelton Analysis as well but this was great
You mentioned attacking the Sinner forehand--remember that Djokovich did just that in the ATP finals
Still puzzled how you could have thought that there was no disrespect meant to Djokovic yesterday. A large (clueless and sheepish) segment of the crowd just joined in on the odd-sounding cheering-on for Rune and intentionally kept doing that to rattle him. There are people on Twitter attesting to that, even reporters saying the exact same.
They pay their tickets .... they owe Djerkovic nothing
@@vivahernando1 they owe GREAT TENNIS something. get lost with your tribalism
it was no disrespect have you watched soccer for instance 😅
You’re talking about two different things though. Sure, there are people who joined in specifically because it was bothering Djokovic. But Djokovic invited that by complaining about it. The “RUUUUUUNE” cheer began innocently- I’ve heard it at tons of Rune matches against tons of opponents (Ruud matches as well, for what it’s worth). But Djokovic decided to make it a thing, and when the crowd feels hostility from a player, they give the hostility right back. This is not a Djokovic-specific thing, it’s a universal truth of player/crowd dynamics.
I'm confused. Are you responding to what I said on Game To Love podcast?
Like your post matches .. as usual neutral and professional
Wasn't Sinner sick? It seems he had a bad night's sleep and felt unwell since morning, apparently from a bug.
He actually seemed to move unusually slow between points. He seemed to have lacked intensiveness and speed compared to previous matches.
So what Meddy was better .
what lame excuses? 😅
same as when sinner beat novak in AO. novak had a flu which impacted him
@@Adaobieistyping yes but Medvedev deserve this win
Love sick 😂? 💗
If Daniil "Hard Court Specialist" Medvedev can improve his performance on clay and on grass, why can't, or won't, Iga Swiatek or Casper Ruud on grass?
Iga’ll get there eventually
Two things, swiatek can and will it’s just slow. (Casper doesn’t even try as evidenced by not going to smaller grass tournaments. But also a hard court specialist is in the middle ground between grass and clay, whereas a clay court specialist is as far from grass court tennis as can be
Iga won Jr. Wimby. She can play on grass. She just needs more practice imo.
Iga.seems to idolise Nadal and I wonder whether her career is focussed on RG too much.
According to his press conference, he said he was having issues the night before and hardly slept and was not feeling great going into the match. Now what was the underlying cause for all of that, he didn’t say, because he may not know.
And he was sick for two weeks before RG ,, not good.
@@Em.A07 quite a few were getting ill at RG iirc
Another excuse for defeat.😂
But how a sick man went to five sets against a top five player ??
@@michael8597 simple, because his floor and ceiling are just higher than the other guy
@@michael8597the man could barely walk at one point, and was white as a sheet, it was not an excuse, try watching it.
Truth be told it should have been a straight set match. Meddy gifted the first set
The Italian journo was hilarious about Meddy throwing away the first set.
Sinner won way more return points than Medvedev in the first set. Could easily be argued that Sinner gifted it if Medvedev had won. And set 3 could have gone either way as well. Could just as easily argue Sinner could/should have won in 4.
@@BillyBob-xi9ih stop being silly.
You can argue a monkey can win every match against you. Meddy lost that match from set points up by double faulting 3 times in that tiebreak. That's a classic choking away a set. Sinner never came close to winning and throwing it away. You sinner fans are so annoying. Please learn to respect the opponent🙏
@@user-wd7ue1wd6r wasn’t being silly, wasn’t disrespecting Medvedev, am not a Sinner fan. Afraid you’re 0/3 on that one 🙏
What’s with Sinner using no variation in the first set? He won Vienna in two tiebreaks and now that’s the “formula”
The best formula to beat Medvedev is serve out wide and short volley. In case you are good at drop shot, you should use it regularly to break his momentum in rally as well.
He was ill; his neurons weren't firing.
@@lsb9073 🥲
@@buitho439 missed opportunity from Sinner to not establish this early. He didn’t even hit a single slice until the end of the set.
@@Videolistener Yes, we could not understand why he did not do it at the beginning of match.
Amazing analysis. I wonder how closely players and coaches would agree with this and or whether they listen for tips.
same lol
Yeah, it really is. Gill is a huge talent!
Darren Cahill, sure, won't be listening.
Hi @gill! What do you think in light of his press conference where he mentioned he was already sick, had cancelled his practice in the morning and Matt from tennispodcast saw the physio holding him while taking MTO?
Why this Medvedev's win is presented as some kind of "massive" upset?
After all he is a former number 1 player in the world.
Grand Slam administrators, sponsors, Western media and even... highlight editors can't stomach the idea that Russian players are still participating in in their events let alone winning them.
Did you record this before reading the transcript from Sinner's press conference?
Because he clearly stated that he was *ill* since that morning and you completely disregarded that in your analysis. Not sure a player being ill is something that can be ignored when dissecting his performance. I mean it throws off your whole analysis about his physical condition in this match.
Apparently the physio had to grab Sinner to stop him falling down as he went off the court, so he was really close to the edge. Between a 15 minute timeout and the match ending immediately with a retirement I think the first option is better for fans, but others may disagree...
@gillgross I agree with you about his 5 set physicality, he definitely needs to improve it. My question for you is what does he need to do in order to show that he has improved his fitness? Do you want him to win multiple 5-setters to prove he is fit?
tbh i think gill is just saying what he sees with his eyes on the court. jannik looked a little out of gas towards the end. jannik doesnt need to win a bunch of 5-setters, he just needs to not have a dip in physicality during long matches. if he loses for other reasons, then we can say physicality isn’t the problem
@@donutmcmuffin3916 I am with you about that (and Gill). It is just a conundrum at this point, because in order for Sinner to improve his fitness he needs to play 5-setters, but at the same time, him playing multiple 5-setters won’t be easy because he is minimizing his chances of winning a slam.
@@karlcalaguas4054 i think fitness is something that should be trained and improved on outside of tournaments, not during them. I’m no expert on sports training, but endurance feels like something that should be trainable outside of matches
@@donutmcmuffin3916 I would say most of the fitness or endurance happens outside of the tournament. But at the same time, the small percentage happens during the tournament.
Also, for some players fitness is more natural to them than other players. For Sinner, fitness will be working progress for him because he still growing to his body, that’s the reality of it.
Daniil Medvedev can make his opponent unwell.
Meddy wore Novak Djokovic down in a 3-setter at the 2019 Cincinnati Open, the first time I’d seen a player wear Novak down so rapidly.
Yes, core part of his strategy
@@Jalleur14325but wont work in grass against Novak
@rajeshsmusical so he’s gonna make the final ?
Another amazing analysis thank you Gill 👍👍👍👍
Well deserved win for Daniil.👍
This match was probably affected by Sinner's health. He seemed off from the start even with Berrettini they look too much on the same level. I wonder if they are actually working on his resistance in the future.
Are we getting an Alcaraz Paul video?
20:10 Section on Sinner
I don't see Medvedev wining against Carlitos
Totally agree with you, Carlitos will beat him easily in straight sets.
@@buitho439 remember USO last year?
@@Tuzzz94 Carlistos has learned from that loss and he won easily in next two matches.
@@buitho439yes but never count out Medvedev
@@buitho439 they weren't slams though
This can be easily explained ... Tennis is a strange game sometimes things don't go according to plan lol
Sinner definitely has a long way to reach the physical excellence of alcaraz, novak, medvedev and zverev.
21:45 Exactly, I don't understand why Gill mentions Sinner was in bed for 2 weeks before RG, but doesn't mention Alcaraz missed Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome and still managed to win Roland Garros.
Exactly@@radieschen79
Gill, I really appreciate your content and analysis but I just don't agree on this one. Jannik was ill. Maybe go and listen to his press conference. And it was a Medical Assessment, the physio took him off court because he didn't think he looked like he could play. Totally accept Sinner needs to work on endurance in long matches but this was an outlier. Criticising him for not having his legs or not playing inventively is really unfair in this context, he somehow forced a 5th set which didn't look likely earlier in the match.
Agreed. It’s such a shame people are saying he’s making excuses because he didn’t win but you could clearly see he wasn’t feeling well. Of course Medvedev played well and Sinner being sick doesn’t discredit this win; however, Sinner was ill which affected how he was playing.
Why does it matter? Djokovic was ill at the Australian Open too but hardly anyone brought it out. In fact he did not even mention it in the press conference because he probably knows people would just blame him for finding excuses and so on. Double standards much? Get rid of your extreme bias and appreciate great tennis.
@@dome_thelazyegg19 That is because he is making excuses. If that was Djokovic saying that he would be bombarded with hate or that he fakes it.
@@dome_thelazyegg19 💯
@@user-fs6cr5em2l It’s unfortunate that Djokovic is treated like that. People tend to forget that tennis players are human too and are gonna get sick and have their bad days.
However, Sinner was sick, even Meddy said he didn’t look alright. The press conference asked Sinner about his condition so he was honest about it. But he even complimented Meddy on his win saying he played some great and smart tennis so I don’t believe he was using his illness to excuse his loss. Meddy was the better player in this match, hence he won and I’m pretty sure Sinner knew that.
Andy Roddick made the point that Sinner's GF was reportedly unwell and Jannik may have caught whatever bug was going around.
I think that Sinner was a bit slower than usual, and shot accuracy was due to lack of right positioning, worse than usual. The reason may be some health issues, even minor cold can affect the performance.
You don’t get to use sickness and injury as an excuse for sinner. Look at his record. Until 2023, he constantly retired and withdrew from tournaments. Medvedev did very very well to get past sinner playing opposum. It’s the same thing Djokovic does.
yep. Meddy played brilliantly. Sinner was a sore loser.
You’re saying Sinner was faking?
You mean its what nadal did his whole career. When he loses, oh he is injured. But when he wins, nadal is the best
@@BillyBob-xi9ih The dude takes an 11-minute break because he's tired. Is this normal? By the way, some people are booed for this (for example, Medvedev), but everyone feels sorry for Sinner, because... Because.

Feeling sick is not an excuse
@@callerikarighto, you go and try to play top flight tennis whilst feeling ill and see how you do
Deep, hard, central to Jannik’s forehand can still do the trick. Especially on fast surfaces where he’s been the most dominant player for the past 10 months or so. It’s definately something he can work on going forward. Yet in my assessment the forehand inconsistency should be for him, atleast to some degree, a persisting trade off for that extreme next gen technique of his. I hope I’m wrong.
Thanks. Wouldn't call the match epic, either. Agree on all the points you make regarding room for improvement. I do want to point out that it looks to me like Sinner has lost muscle mass since Australia-Rotterdam-Miami. And you don't have to take it from me because he said as much before Roland Garros, after he'd been sick and had the hip injury. Don't think he has had a chance to rebuild that mass; there's been no time. He was well-prepared up through Miami for the very top levels of the increasingly demanding game, but he is not at the moment. We'll see if he's able to build back up. And I also want to add that mentally he has had a lot going on -- realizing a lifelong dream by becoming World #1 for the very first time; a break up of a long-term relationship followed incredibly swiftly by a new one. These things his don't explain most of his on-court vulnerabilities, but they could contribute to mental fatigue and the lack of creativity you cited. After all, these "kids" are just that - young and trying to figure it out as they go along.
Agree. Has been likely an amazing but intense and tumultous time for Sinner.
Thank you Gill! Great analysis
I agree with your analysis of the match. I don't agree with the conclusions on Jannik. You say he must improve his physical preparation. He was off in the US Open, the French Open, and Wimbledon, but what about the Australian Open? His preparation was fine then. Then you say that the first set with Medvedev cost him dearly. But he was ill well before the match. Have you listened to the interview? Personally, from Monte Carlo on, he has had a series of problems: his hip, the illness, and now the illness again. I don't know what to say, but I don't think it's Medvedev. A well-fit Jannik doesn't mind going on long rallies with him. He has shown this many times.
You say that "Sinner is back in the dog house re his physicality." But he has been playing an awful lot of tennis, and reaching finals/semifinals which is more tennis than Alcaraz, Djokovic, Medvedev have played in the last few months. He had to reach a wall at some point - sad it had to be today.
Don’t underestimate the power of pickle juice.
I commented on Gill's previous videos that if it were to be Carlos vs Sinner and if Sinner were to be pushed for 5 sets, he will suffer. It came true just that it was Meddy and not Carlos.
I think the biggest reason is that it's on grass. Sinner doesn't trust himself on grass and on clay the way he does on hardcourt nowadays. He hasn't learned to yet. Clay and grass are his weaknesses because they don't have the grip of hardcourt and various other reasons. I hope he'll return to his invincibility that we saw earlier this year once he gets back on a hardcourt. I hope he keeps his trend of not making the same big mistakes in matches twice going, because if he does he'll have both clay and grass figured out completely by next year against the best rivals (Alcaraz, Djokovic, Medvedev, Zverev).
The only thing more surprising than Medvedev beating the favorite player at any tournament .... is how he celebrates when he wins it lol. If he does take Wimbledon he will have deserved it imo the best underdog that isn't really an underdog lol bravo!
Never underestimate Meddy. He made the semi's last year. He flies under the radar alot with all the focus being on Sinner and Alcaraz. Meddy is a dangerous player who is very capable of sneaking up behind and pull the rug out from under you. Like he did at the US Open 21.
Sinner has a very physical style of playing without the physique necessary to carry it on. He should diversify his weapons.
I thought Sinner was showing some nice variety with those drop shots.
Draw is opening up for Novak! Hurkz and Sinner were the only two players I was worried about and they are out! ADM and Fritz are good grass court players so anything is possible, but if he makes it to final 25 is incoming!
25th Major for Nole!
I agree that Sinner was no doubt the biggest threat to Novak on this surface. But let's not forget that Alcaraz beat Djokovic last year and remains a dangerous player.
@@jacobschmidt2709 100% no easy opponent. Alcaraz matches are generally close so Novaks at least a chance there.
Hi Gill,where do you get your stats from?
Shouldve been cleaner. Although Meddy played very well, so many missed opportunities. That first set he shouldve won. To be fair, it should've been a 4 set victory for Meddy.
But congrats to Meddy. Next is Carlos and then possibly Novak.
Medvedev won't get past Carlos unless Carlos has a wild tennis day
Love Meddy ❤❤❤
Sinner was feeling sick, that can happen to anyone But he is No 1
ok Sinner was feeling ill, that matters in a match like this and the indoor humidity. Yes Med played him well and won. So credit to Med. And he didn't fully recover. He's still sick. Amen, match over and fingers crossed for next year at Wimbledon.
1.Glad u start off focusing on the winner and giving them their due.
2. Finally Meddy gets his accolades. the most under appreciated player.
3. acknowledging Sinner doesn’t have the physicality of the other top players.
4. Sinner misused a medical time out. he was not sick or injured..needed a break to relieve fatigue. has overused the cramps excuse. losing respect for him as a fair competitor.
exactly!
Non sparare cazzate
unbelievable, djokovic made an unforced error and you hear ruuuuune, they just provoked him, some hypocritical comments here, it doesn't matter who is the goat, all three are great, but only one is also a hero, respect for Novak Djokovic, a true legend, on and off the field
Jannik plays Tennis almost like table Tennis. You can't do that for 5 sets. He needs to pace himself and use drop shots and slices from set 1 and avoid long rallies.
Djoker can
@@harrysnateraar135Novak is not a ball basher like Jannik
The lack of creativity is the main issue, not the physicality and let me explain why. There has never been a player that does every part of tennis for a perfect 10 (2015-2016 Novak is the closest but he also had some small gaps in his game). So if Jannik is not as fit as Daniil that is fine because Medvedev is by far the best player on tour when it comes to long rallies. The issue with Medvedev is that he also lacks in other departments and that is what you have to exploit. Novak for example does these things on purpose, he gets "creative and disruptive" in many ways just to throw opponents game off (assuming the opponent has better groundstrokes on that day). To Alcaraz it comes more naturally, he just enjoys playing a versatile game. Jannik today basically decided to play long, gruelling rallies with the best player on tour in that area and he lost in 5. Its like playing forehand to forehand against Berretini and after losing a tight game people comment that you need to improve your forehand...I think Sinner is definitely not as versatile naturally as Carlos so he needs to figure out tactics before the match when he is playing against the best of the best when it comes to groundstrokes. Like Gill said, against 98% of the tour he can just play a groundstroke game and easily win but in those 2% of matches he needs tactics. As of now, Sinner is an automated version of Novak. He plays everything very similarly to Djokovic but once it doesnt work the system still keeps the same thing, unlike Nole who changes as soon as he realises it, nowadays even before the match itself.
All of that being said, I want to share my final thoughts about Medvedev vs Alcaras match. Medvedev so far showed better serve, return and groundstrokes, making him the logical favourite. But unlike Sinner, I think Carlos will force Meddy out of the zones he likes and wilk try to play on his own terms. Doesnt mean Alcaras will win, just means it wont be the way Medvedev likes it and it wont be as physical as this match was.
I cannot agree more with you but Alcaraz will beat Meddy easily in straight sets same as last year.
Agree. Sinner is very good, but a bit one dimensional. Medvedev understands his own game better now. He left 2 slams that he should have won after him. He is very intelligent. Sinner is not a great thinker on court, relies too much on coaches before hand. Carlos does his own thing in matches. Better in the long run this way. Ya Medvedev has improved on grass as well. Carlos in 4 or 5.
Gill already said this
You were so sure Sinner would win Wimbledon. I knew Alcaraz was and is the player to beat. At the highest level, Sinner is still a touch one dimensional. Alcaraz has more options, skills, and a willingness to chg during a match. His vollies work well in grass. Etc.. 😊
It’s always something wrong physically with sinner. Cramps, mental fatigue, dizziness,walking gingerly. He’s clearly got an issue
And somehow he still got to number 1. It can't be that bad.
@@rbarreira2but it’s also a huge reason he only has one major. So yea it’s pretty bad
Apparently Jannik doesnt have a good 5 set record. That will surely be his next goal.
Hey Gill! Great match, great job!
Sinner stated that he got a virus, couldn’t sleep and that the physio insisted. He also pointed out that they are handling some issues like pollen better.
Overall he lost twice in five despite scoring overall more points, so luck was not on his side…
Where's the analysis for Alcaraz vs Paul?
Exactly
Djoko is in the semi's after beating one seed 🤣🤣
I guess we better prepare for another djokovic alcaraz classic
checked de minaur does NOT have 2 days free ,he plays on wendsday
Yes, Medvedev played well, tactically, physically, and mentally, but Sinner has not played all that well since the hard court season. He has not handled the pressure of being #1 and a grand slam champion. His tactics were terrible, getting into rallies with Med, allowing him to get in a groove. You can’t point to Meds pace because even on a lot of attackable balls, Sinner played conservatively most of the match. Sinner played nervous from the beginning, and the nerves can cause sickness. Look at the choked overhead at the French. He needs to become tougher mentally.
Still not convinced about Medvedev's serve. Serve gets neutralized far too often.
Next match will be outdoors so even harder for him. Same will happen vs Alcaraz and he'll pay the price.
Do you think Sinner would have won the Australian open if Novak wasn't sick and was able to pull up 100%?
yes
I am sòooo happy that sinner lost and am happy that long awaited Alcaraz and Sinner match ain't happening.😅😅😅 i want to see Meddy in the final.
@@SrinivasRao-vd4ki Well, we will find out how much the USO 2023 semi final loss fires up Carlos. may the best player win
No way. Novak is still the best.
@z1az285 Nope. Sinner has shown vulnerability in long bo5 matches. Yannicks fitness is not in the upper echelon yet. 100% Djokovic would have beat that Sinner in 4 or 5 sets without a doubt.
Where's Otto, Gill?!?
I think Sinner is jab injured
Why was Sinner allowed a medical timeout for 'loss of condition'?
Exactly. That s not supposed to be allowed. The amount of prefernetial treatment sinner got today was shocking
its a joke
It was so he could get medically checked, because the doctor did not believe Sinner was fit to play before those tests.
The medics saw something worrying, and took him off court.
@@Jalleur14325 was it written on his face? 🤔
Dude, the thing is that doesn't deserve a medical checkup. 100s of players do so and don't get that treatment of time out.nite clear as day that they wanted sinner time and treatment to recover his lungs and win for the next match up between Carlos and sinner. But merry spoiler it for them.
Turns out a fresh Medvedev can be quite scary, as guys like Novak found out.
To me Sinner was serving better for most of the match, while Daniil was not as good or perhaps due to Sinners ROS, but did great in rallies, defense which seemed to just wear down Sinner and Daniil was the more fit player that day.
Always had some question marks on Sinners endurance, most matches he has won were blowouts with some easy draws, while getting tougher draws like in use 23 or here really tests his fitness, but this is grass, and it's Medvedev, who did get owned by many of the drop shots. Rare physical match for grass and still unexpected. Sinenr was still a bit underwhelming, while Daniil was close to peaking.
Couple of things. I'm disappointed for Sinner, only because I really, really thought he had a shot this year, and as good as he is, I think he deserves a Wimbledon title.
That, and I can't stand the idea of Novak getting yet another title. I thought Sinner had the chance of actually beating him this year if he (Novak) gets that far. So now it's up to Alcaraz, I guess, because I really don't see Med winning that, and here's why.
First, let me admit that I've been underwhelmed to say the least by Alcaraz's performances. He's won, yes, but in every single match there have been periods of lack of focus and discipline that have cost him sets, and in the case of Tiafoe, almost cost him the match. If there's one real area in his game that I think he needs to improve, it's the ability to focus and stay locked in for an entire match. I'm not saying I expect his level to never dip. I just mean I expect him to keep the focus, to reign himself in when he's going walk-about, to not let it go on for an entire set or two. Even Novak has dips in his levels, but they are very brief, a game or two at most.
That having been said, he has way, way too many weapons that he can bring to bear against Medvedev, and he's not physically ill. Sinner said in his press conference after the match that he hadn't really slept the night before and that he hadn't been feeling well. Of course you're not going to be able to play your best tennis on little or no sleep, especially if you're sick. So in that regard, Med got lucky, I think. And I think part of the reason that Sinner wasn't as "creative", and why his running forehand was such a liability in this match, was simply that he was tired. We don't think as clearly, our decision-making slows, and our reflexes slow with sleep deprivation. Honestly, the fact that he was able to come back and take it to five is amazing, really, when you consider it in the context of a sleepless night and physical illness. I can make the argument that it actually makes the case that he's more fit than you're giving him credit for. Oh, and one last thing. Sinner had a hellacious draw, and Med got a walk in the park draw by comparison, including a retirement by Dimi, so of course he's fresher, even excluding illness.
Alcaraz, while a bit unfocused at times, is going to run Med all around the court, I think. He's got way, way too much variety. Med isn't going to be able to get into the kind of rhythm he was able to get into today by exploiting Sinner's fatigue. I can guarantee you that Carlos is going to rush the net a lot more than Jannik did, and he's going to throw in dropshots and other things to get Med out of sync and on the move.
I think maybe Med takes a set if Carlos has one of his periods where he takes a stroll in his mind, but I just can't see him winning. Carlos has way too many tools, and he isn't afraid to use them, especially when he feels his back is against the wall. I'm predicting Alcaraz in four sets.
Jody all I can say is Alcaraz just turned 21. With time this will come. JCF was interviewed recently and said that he wishes Carlos had more patience. But like anything this comes with experience.
Sinner fans in the comment section are so annoying. You can also say Medvedev wasn't 100% physically in AO final. Conditioning is part of the game.
Don't read too much into this one Gil, Siinner woke up ill and just did his best to get through the match.
How do you know?
Are you his doctor???
put an aesterisk next to sinner's win over djoko at ao. novak had the flu and wasn't feeling well there wither
I'm not worried at all..Jannik revels in a challenge.
just that Sunner crushed Novak. Novak did not even have a break point. So even if Novak had been healthy Sinner would have won a close match. use some brains. here the match was super close 5 setter@@Adaobieistyping
@@vindukur100 he crushed an ill djoko. Huge asterisk, the fact that Novak had no break points shows this. How did sinner win the 4th set 6-2 if he was so ill 🤡
Go Meddy! Hope Sinner feels better.
Sinner has stamina issue ever since French Open. In this match Sinner began to struggle in set 2, worsen in set 3, better in set 4 while Medvedev touched physical bottom. Medvedev recovered in set 5 while Sinner was still struggling.
Sinner looked pale in the match and gasped frequently, even had blood oxygen level test in set 2.
If Sinner does not solve his stamina issue, he stands no chance against Alcaraz or even Djokovic.
The match lacked the excitement of a Carlos Alcaraz match. Not too many volleys, drop shots and lobs.
Carlos is the most exciting top player
Meddy was just baiting Sinner into checkmate! His skiidding shots are even more effective on this surface for sure.
I didn't see the match, but was curious about the result, and this seemed like a pretty damned good analysis, Gill. Your comments about Sinner lacking creativity, and being linear and predictable in his game resonated with me. More colloquially put, Sinner can be boring.
Bottom line..Sinner is abusing medical time outs .. assessments 🙄.. because he can’t keep up.
Too bad for Jannik. It’s bad luck when players lose matches when they’re not feeling 💯 percent. But good on Medvedev for persevering. It wasn’t easy, but he got the job done. ✅ Impressive from him defending his SF run from last year. Looking forward to the SF’s !
Stop with the excuse. Meddy took the legs and lungs out of sinner.
@@user-wd7ue1wd6r I am not a Sinner fan. And I am not making excuses for Jannik. I just said he was under the weather. Cause clearly he was. Meddy is one of my faves. You know it’s okay for others to give their opinion. You don’t need to get so emotional about it.
Grill non stava bene , ma cosa dici?
Only Sinner's match review? Lol ....Perish the thought of Carlos winning , huh?
Carlos with another cakewalk path to the finals, same as last year.
Last year he had sinners draw
@@Adaobieistyping last year he didn’t play a single player expect Novak who won a single match in 2022 Wimbledon.
@amateursynthusiast cry cry cry
@@AmateurSynthusiast he had berretini, rune, medvedev and Djokovic to own the title dumbo
Brother he owns your daddy novak . He will do the same on sunday
Medvedev didn't dazzle Sinner. No, illness dizzied Sinner.
Medvedev said the same to sinner , sinner answer was < you would’ve won anyway > because he knows how to take Ls like a man
Sinner fans and their excuses 😡
Meddy played brilliantly and he deserves the praise. Pls dont be sore losers. 🙏
I wanted Sinner to win but I felt no question Medvedev deserved to win, but credit to Sinner for those 2 drop shot winners when he was feeling weak.
The same excuses that Meddy’s fans were making when he lost AO 2024 final….
Oh we was tired….
Oh he played so many hours….
See, tennis is an individual sport, if you’re not 100% you’re gonna loose
Sinner said he was feeling better in the 5th which is a little odd as he seemed to lack focus, desire, confidence..... in that set. Glad Mededev won as he came to the net more, Sinner winning Wimbledon with a lack of volleys might be a less desirable outcome for the game/tournament.It wasn't an epic, hopefully the Medvedev/Alcatraz semi will be!
I don't think it will be of Alcaraz is playing his best level
@@Jalleur14325 Carlos can be very erratic, hopefully will be a good game. Carlos/Joker would be a better final to watch re styles. Not that Joker is going to find it easy against Mussetti if he keeps playing well on grass!
