    Incredible match. I guess mentally stronger player won in the end. 4
    lost h2h may have played a role. Alcaraz hasn't so far lost a slam
    final, well, this was close. Apparently also lost only once a fifth set.
    Pretty flawless 5th set TB from Alkie.

    CONGRATS CARLOS!

    Keeping the 10 consecutive channel slams dream alive! :)

    P.S. I think we're going to see *many* slam finals with these two guys
    against each other...

    What a bull?!!

    Would like to see 5th set tiebreakers in finals eliminated, personally.

    What if Isner & Mahut reach the final?

    I think this 10 pt tb is a good thing. Not too short aka eliminates
    luck, not too long, tests nerves.

    Sure we will see many finals between them although Sinner would be
    the favorite for me on HC :)

    Perhaps.

    WB Alcaraz
    US Sinner

    2025:
    AO Sinner

    I used to think like that, like "please keep part of the tradition like going to the distance at least in the fifth set" but when you think more about it you realize it's deeply unjust.

    Rules need to be uniform.

    Serving second is sort of disadvantage and it's unfair to inflict it just on one guy and in the fifth set.

    You either abolish tiebreak altogether or not.

    The discrepancy is unjust not the tiebreak.
