  • About \\\"Heroes in tennis have one thing in common: they project the impression that they have standards, personal convictions and attitudes that they will not violate for the sake of winning a tennis match...By winning the French Open, Wilander established himself as the top player for the first half of 1988. He is the closest thing we have today to a tennis hero, falling short of being so acknowledged because he has yet to win Wimbledon or the U.S. Open.* But he is grace under pressure personified, wins consistently, plays his best in big finals, and possesses high standards. If Wilander lacks anything, it is the touch of arrogance - the aloofness of Borg, or the conspicuous pride of Laver. It is only nominally a deficiency. (Extract from article by Peter Bodo, published in TENNIS, August 1988)(*just one month before Mats did in fact win the U.S. Open)

    If the players perform like in previous rounds, I don't think this will go more than 4 sets, at most. I was a bit doubtful about Alcaraz before the tournament, but he seems to really have peaked the hardcourt form.
    Think he is serving much better than in the previous masters tournament.

    I really hope De Minaur win this, because I think he is a much more entertaning player than FAA.
    And also, that I think it would be good for Tennis to have an Aussie player edtablished among the top-6. It's been a while since they had. But I think this could be a tight match, and wouldn't be surprised to see it go to at least 4 sets, maybe with a TB or two. Like someone wrote, de Minaur can be vulnerable against heavy hitters. His 1st serve must work, and he must be aggressive and tactically smart.

    I like Ann Li, a real fighter,
    Wouldn't touch Pegula as a favorite at these odds

    I like Bublik, he is superb form and steady performer, BUT - he is a claycourter, at least that has been very obvious that he choose to stay in Europe and play clay tournaments after Wimbledon.

    Tommy Paul is a natural hardcourter,.in good form and normally I don't read much into H2H-records, especially matches older than 2 years, but a 6-1 H2H in favor of Tommy Paul is hard to look away from..
