"They don't understand that in sports, you win and you lose," Bertolucci responds to Sinner's critics

Alcaraz Bertolucci Sinner US Open

On the podcast "La Telefonata," former Italian player Paolo Bertolucci addressed the criticism surrounding former world number one Sinner. After losing the US Open final to Alcaraz, many fans had criticized the Italian's performance.

"What can I say? They are wonderful. They don't understand that in sports, you win and you lose. The number one losing to the world number two is a very normal thing and part of life: seven or eight times a year, Sinner and Alcaraz lose.

Last night, Alcaraz played very well. Jannik didn't have much to do, and it's not a question of numbers or percentages: hats off, because when the Spaniard plays like that, you simply can't beat him."

For context, Sinner had won three of the last four Grand Slams. With this defeat, he ended that streak while also losing his world number one ranking.

It's very unfortunate that so-called analysts and commentators are just trying to troll the players instead of doing fair technical analysis.

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

POWWOW , Congratulations you did it again and by slim percentage points. Keep it going....
