Sinner certainly off a bit, but when Shapo brings this level of steadiness to his game he's a real treat to watch. Power on tap off both sides

Mensik now 1-6 in fifth sets at slams (def. #193 in the second round of USO 24).

Quickly put together a basic database for all available court speed (CPI) numbers from 2012-2025 that will continue to auto-update. You can hover over each number to see the source, see ace rates, filter by surface/tournament, see all winners and ball types (link in next post)

Last year, Toronto/Montreal field was hammered by the Olympic scheduling. Can’t point to that this year, but you can point to the expansion to 10 days along with Cincinnati. Word from players is consistently negative on that change- more taxing. Canada was already a squeeze.

Keeping this in mind for the North American hardcourt swing, should we get a Sincaraz match on something a little bouncier like Cincy, USO.

Sitting down at 4-3, you just know Sinner will have to start battling some mental demons now. You have to.

139mph serve there from Carlos at 1-3. Bit of frustration in that one

I think Sinner didn't want to hit Alcaraz with that smash there

no one has that running forehand like Sinner. When he steps across on the full stretch his timing is so much better compared to when it's slightly less wide and he opts to play open stance

Alcaraz deuce wide serve excellent so far. Most of his 6 or so aces there I think

1) Body serve % feels way up in this match. 2) Big gulf in intangible skillsets on display 3) so far, Alcaraz forehand > Sinner forehand

Alcaraz very successful with the forehand drop shot so far.

Alcaraz loves a target when pressured to either wing. Kind of a conundrum for Sinner; he needs to attack, but when moving forward and giving a target CA is so good at spinning and getting it low and controlled.
