It's a surface only rec players and Europeans can really play on tbqh. American big hitting, aggressive tennis is so ass for it, even on the much grittier Har-Tru. You'd have to have an American junior player grow up learning how to hit on both clay and hard. That's not very common here. Also, isn't this the first year Houston used European red clay? I recall it being green in past years.

switching between hard and clay when youre a junior fucks up your knees a lot and uncle toni said it was a contributing factor to rafas injuries
on another note the us open was played on har tru in the mid seventies. what would have happened if they kept it on har tru through to today?
>>
>>
>>154107652
Four different surfaces for the slams would make winning a calendar slam (or even the career slam) even more impressive, because Har-Tru and Euro red clay really are very different. Doubt most of the USO winners of the past would be winners now if the surface had stayed.
Also based Tommy guaranteed a spot in the finals. Fraudcis can't beat him on clay.

as evidenced by the fact some literal who named buchunaga is in the finals american men should just skip clay season all together
alternatively we can have the us clay championship on a surface we have an advantage on (har tru)
if sevilla can have their weird yellow clay we deserve a tournament on green clay

Sinner fans have been raging online about this pretty brutal David Foster Wallace esque sports writing takedown of him
https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/negative-tennis/
Here is probably the two harshest parts from the piece
>After Djokovic began to decline, a 22-year-old South Tyrolean named Jannik Sinner took the number one ranking and held it for more than a year. Sinner hits the ball harder than Djokovic, plays with less variation, neglects the outer contours of the court more often, emotes even less than Djokovic on the latter’s most subdued day, is less forthcoming in interviews, and is far less likely to participate in any match worthy of preserving in a time capsule. His style is more reminiscent of a machine than Djokovic’s ever was, and he lacks the personality to compensate for the entertainment deficit. Perhaps we should have been more grateful that Djokovic made us feel anything at all.
> Djokovic has always drawn power from a raging well of spite, while Alcaraz draws from a fountain of joy. Sinner doesn’t derive his success from any emotion that I recognize.

Not even close. Roger's game was the most fun to watch and his personally was affable while being cool, unlike Binner who has no personality at all

Fed just did what his marketing advisors told him and became a James Bond parody.
Sinner just doesn't give a fuck. I find that more honest yet probably not as lucrative
>>
>>154122395
The whole machine analogy is pretty overplayed by this point. He's just mellow. Not everyone has to do a Basketball American style pop-off on every point over 4 shots. Several of our sport's greatest champions (Borg, Sampras, Agassi, Lendl, etc.) barely emoted on the court either and yet nobody is writing smear letters about them—though they certainly wrote a LOT about Sampras at the time. Just leave Sinner the hell alone. He's playing tennis his way. Let Alcaraz do the finger to the ear thing. All Jannik needs is a slight shake of the racket.

He will never be sampras, sampras was iconic. Binner is a shameless doper who rehired the the guy who was helping him dope. Will never like this dude after the doping scandal.

>Badosa and Tsitsipas unfollowed each other on social media and removed posts referring to each other.
>And last November, Badosa confirmed the split as she held up a sash with the words 'Sexy and single' as she celebrated her 28th birthday with friends in Dubai.
>The tennis star shared photos of her with a birthday cake reading 'older, wiser and still hotter than ever', along with another sash that stated '28 and still a 10'.

Vachegoat could be top 10 in a few months unironically. Clay season just started and his challenger clay record is outrageous, with 80 match wins in the last few years. There’s 3x masters and rg coming up and he probably has like only a few hundred points to defend
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>154153391
A Masters semi is only 400 points, he'd have to get lucky enough to avoid Alcaraz and Sinner's quarters every time and then also go deep at RG
For comparison Musetti went F/SF/SF/SF during the clay swing last year and three of those losses were to Alcaraz
A semi is very achievable for Vacherot this week though

there's a lot of hype, but it feels less spontaneous and more artificial than Guga fandom.
it's like Brazilians are desperate to have a big name in tennis, and pundits/fans are desperate for another "big 3", and these two silly desperations basically create the Fonseca phenomenon.
