Roland Garros aka The French Open

[stotty]

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

[stroke]

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

[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.

[stotty]

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.

[stroke]

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

[stroke]

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

[stotty]

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

[stotty]

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

[stroke]

Sinner still the betting favorite.

[stroke]

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

[stotty]

Carlos looks the fitter of the two so far. That drop shot he plays under pressure is unreal…game changing.

[stroke]

That was a very unfortunate missed call. No idea why FO not using electronic line calls

[stroke]

A new standard of mesmerizing tennis on full display

Carlos lost his nerve and couldn't serve it out. This could go on for another hour.

Carlos lost his nerve and couldn't serve it out. This could go on for another hour.

He was sitting there at the changeover thinking about his speech when he won. It's a very nervy experience trying to serve out a set, match or a tournament final. The pressure in a Grand Slam final is not to be underestimated and this is why the serve must be frictionless and greased. Carlos has a bit of a hitch. Something that is less than fluid. We'll see if he can recover. After a letdown like that...it might be difficult to regain his nerve. I don't think that he is terribly intelligent so this might actually work to his advantage.
