The ladies final was between two players who clearly aren’t the best in the game. And in the mens final Zverev was more than holding his own and then just faded away. I don’t think many will remember this tournament a year from now, except those cheering for Fery.
Without Alcaraz every tournament is Sinner’s to lose. And somehow, despite his undoubted talent, he is just too robotic to create much excitement. Dull as dishwater. Alcaraz’s return is apparently in danger of being delayed again. And the fact that the Joker, at least 5 years past his A game is still making semis in the Majors, tells you just how thin the opposition is. The game needs some new talent soon.
