There’s been a definite shift in the prep here with a higher elbow to lengthen and smooth out the swing. https://t.co/SiGFOBtyda

All the greats watch a lot of tennis.
Me acabo de quedar a cuadros con lo que ha dicho Fils hoy. 🗣️ “No veo tenis. Me enteré que Alcaraz ganó en Australia, pero hace mucho tiempo que no veo un partido. Solo veo a veces a Perricard, Fokina y Shelton, eso es todo”. Quizá ese sea el problema de esta generación. Si ni

3-3 after saving a bunch of BP's... This is the end, and the time, to make a big push for a break for Nole

This is a co visual to show how mentally heartbreaking it is to lose sets when you’re so close to (or have) match points
Closer. Further. Closer again. 😳 The minimum points to win, constantly shifting in yesterday’s #AO26 semi-final between Alcaraz and Zverev 👀

Djokovic serves on these 16 saved BP: 2 Aces 5 Serves where Sinner missed the return 3 Serves which set up Novak to win the point quickly thereafter 1 second serve —> serve & volley‼️ 1 second serve that was 85 mph & one that was 117 mph 🤯

Amazing clutch performance from Djokovic. He won just under 48% of total points. He won 27% of return points, compared to Sinner's 35%. Both the TPW and Dominance Ratio are the most extreme of any major semi-final in the ATP stat-keeping era:

That was one of the greatest sporting performances of all time. How the fuck does this guy keep one-upping his own legend? Novak Djokovic 🐐

Alcaraz is an alien, and Sasha is all too human. Feel for the German, who played some great tennis in the fifth there.

Zverev's forehand has been very good in this fifth, and I feel like Carlos is starting to serve and be willing to attack the backhand more.

Crazy to think Carlos was two points from closing it out in straights even with the cramps 20 mins ago... Long way from home now

Does Carlos’ movement look a little hampered? Early signs of cramp?

gotta say, miking up coaching pods is pretty fucking useless for pro tennis unless you're a polyglot.

Zverev one of the guys on tour who use a gut hybrid. Got to think that isn't helping control the ball in these hotter temps.

Demon is a hell of a player: fast, skilled, mentally tough. But in this era, technique to generate in-out-racquet head speed is at a premium like never before. Best stretch wins. https://t.co/Fv17DHoPBp
De Miñaur, a Adolfo Gutiérrez, su entrenador: Adolfo: “No puedes jugar solo a meterla porque él no te va a fallar. Tienes que pegarle fuerte” La respuesta de Alex: 🗣️ “Es que no puedo pegarle más fuerte ya”.

With Shelton beating Ruud, 7 of the top 8 men's seeds have reached the #AusOpen QF. This is just the 7th time this has happened at a slam since 1988, the first year where all slams featured a 128 player draw.

Sinner’s now got a pretty clear case of cramping issues in the heat. I wonder if next off-season it would be worth leaving Monte Carlo and going somewhere else for pre-season.

Saved 2 match points in the 1st round of qualifying and now Maddy Inglis is into the 4th round 🤯 Tennis can be so crazy
🚨 BREAKING: 🇯🇵 Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from her third round singles match tonight due to a left abdominal injury. 🇦🇺 Maddison Inglis progresses to the fourth round where she awaits either world No.2 🇵🇱 Iga Świątek or 🇷🇺 Anna Kalinskaya.
