They are somewhat spoiling the tennis spectacle," says Kafelnikov about Sinner and Alcaraz

They are somewhat spoiling the tennis spectacle, says Kafelnikov about Sinner and Alcaraz

Yevgeny Kafelnikov has spoken about the US Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. While the Russian believes this matchup marks a great rivalry, there is no longer much suspense about the identity of the finalists in major tournaments.

"Sinner and Alcaraz have largely distanced themselves from the others. Unfortunately, even Novak is no longer keeping pace with either of them in Grand Slams. That is the reality.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune. I would like Alcaraz to win another Grand Slam tournament. Sinner and Alcaraz have a chance to surpass all their competitors in the number of Grand Slam titles.

However, they are somewhat spoiling the tennis spectacle. When it comes to predictions, everyone knows well in advance who will compete in the finals of major tournaments.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Without such competition, it might not be very promising.

Who is kafelnikov and who cares what he says? We are currently watching tennis at the highest level ever, and that is surely an absolute pleasure... especially with people like alcaraz playing who play with enjoyment.
Fred Phoesh
I think it is a very stupid thing to say because alcaraz is doing far more for tennis than any of the big three did with their very serious game. He plays playfully and he plays with imagination that none of the other big three had, and that is bringing life to tennis rather than dull, serious people.

All the other commentators lick their behinds so the two don't strike them off their lists when it comes getting interviews with them.

The Russian says it like it is. It is boring when you know who's going to be in the final, all the time.

To say that the big three didn't play with imagination, shows, in the famous words of jelena, you have no education and no class.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.

Son of a gun, pow. You going for the 3peat? Do it, but I'm chasing and so is Jimandlori. lol
