Alex de Minaur lost the Rotterdam final to Carlos Alcaraz in three sets on Sunday.

Despite the defeat, he put in a much better performance than in his Australian Open quarter-final against Jannik Sinner.

The Australian compared the two players, declaring that Alcaraz suits him better in terms of his game: "Playing Carlos is definitely better for me.

I can rush him and make his game more difficult with my tennis. I never managed to do that against Sinner. In tennis, it's all about comparison.

That doesn't mean that if one player is ranked higher than another, the player with the higher ranking will always win.

There are different styles of play.

In the match against Alcaraz, I was close to winning, and next time I'll manage it."

He probably gets bored watching Sinner?

It's about match ups for sure. He's been losing to Sinner since juniors which has head games with it.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
