Roland Garros aka The French Open

[stroke]

Scratch that, these odds are changing crazy fast. Alcaraz now big favorite

[stroke]

Sinner still the betting favorite.

[stotty]

2 sets all…where's the money lying now, stroke?

[stotty]

Sinner got nervous and Carlos just took off…5-5. Definitely Big 3 level tennis.

[stroke]

The crowd seems to really understand the quality they are seeing. Nice to see

[stroke]

Updated odds, Carlos with an implied probability of winning about 31%.

Carlos 2-1 up in the fourth

The spaniard has steadied the ship quite nicely and has settled into a consistent rhythm, something he desperately needed to do. Sinner starting to make errors…and the crowd have parked themselves firmly in Carlos’s corner.

[stotty]

Sinner’s level is just so high now. Carlos doesn’t seem to know what to do. His off the cuff creative stuff has done nothing to stop Sinner thus far. Dare I say it, he needs to slow the game down with more spin and height…and wait longer.

[stroke]

Degree is difficulty on that last Sinner forehand winner for the 2nd set is off the charts

[stotty]

Carlos snatches a break back with a slew of early returns…genius.

[stotty]

It would be very interesting to know how much exact time each player has between strikes of the ball. Sinner looks like he is almost hitting down into the court on both sides, hardly ever lifting the ball. Sinner is really making Alcaraz uncomfortable out there with taking away so much time.

True. Sinner is hitting bigger and bossing Carlos, no question.

[stotty]

It's not unlike Novak and Roger playing. Novak negated Roger by hitting a relentlessly consistent length. Sinner does the same to Carlos but hits the ball even harder. I just can't see Carlos punching his way through this.

[stotty]

6-4 3-0 Sinner

Carlos, brilliant though he is at times, just can’t break through Sinner’s consistency. Sinner is playing at an extraordinary high level right now.

[stotty]

Relentless consistency from Sinner nets him the first set.
