JANNIK SINNER WINS 2024 MIAMI OPEN

Yanik CER beating denil meddev in the semis 6162 that is the type of score line that you see when someone's like a dominant 12 and under junior or like first round of Club Tennis one and two against someone who meev will end up going down as maybe like one of the top 20 players of all time maybe 20 and if you're arguing with me you're arguing with me because you're a jerk and you're arguing with over like two or three spots but point being made the guy won a slam been number one in the world won a ton of Masters 1000s repeated finals and especially on hardcourts to beat him one and two I I don't think people understand how impossible that is and then you go to the final and you beat demitro a resurgent demitro who oh by the way had just had uh wins tuned up alcarez two and four start to finish and then uh reverse is a seven match losing streak uh and obviously it's nice to get through a matchup that historically hasn't been good to you overs verev and for all your troubles you go in and get beat by Center three and one um I'm gonna I'm going to make a point for you of how dominant uh this is this performance was uh by yanic Center so we all know that yes no Novak the best of all time numbers don't lie but the most dominant person when you get on a specific surface at a specific time uh is Rafa on Clay right that's as indisputable as the goat conversation is I would say that the Rafa conversation on clay maybe even more it is more so so I'm going what are the statistical comps for yanic Center winning one- two in the semis of a 1000 and then three in one in the finals of a 1,000 2010 Monte Carlo Rafa adal beats Ferrer in the semis I think it's like one or two one and two or one and three and then beats verdasco in the final 0 and one so to draw a comp to what cner just did in Miami you have to go to Prime Nadal on clay in a Masters 1000 that is what you're comparing this dominance to CER this weekend in Miami to Rafa's best ever finish as far as games lost uh in a m 1000 Center in Miami Rafa Prime on Clay that's that's the comp for what he just did and I think most of us were saying on the way in he's been the best player in the world I've been on record for saying the last you know five or six months and he's beaten all the players he's beaten Novak three times he lost his first six in his career against Mev and has won the last five uh you know that little hiccup it's like how could you lose to Carlos alcarez on his best hardc Court in Indian Welles that's what we're talking about uh has one Masters 1s has one Davis Cup has won a grand slam lost to alcaraz in the semis won Rotterdam won Miami the statistical comp for what he did last weekend is Rafa in 2010 in Monte Carlo a tournament which Rafa has won you know tens of times which is also absurd yeah it also says he's the first uh player since Roger freder in 2017 to win the open Australian Open and Miami open in the same year yeah that's that's been done that's even that is like as impressive as that is and I can't poo poo that away because like I barely won Miami uh and I never won Australia but like the dominance with which he's doing it uh you know beating Novak in the semis of Australia beating Med I mean he's going through the best players in the world to win these tournaments it's not as if someone out it's not as if there are restrictions on uh vaccines or Co or there are no outlier things right obviously Novak wasn't in in in Miami but the way this guy's playing I don't know that that would have mattered as much there um it'll be I'm curious to see how he keeps the momentum going clay he's at the point where he's going to be good on everything he's a very good clay Court player um but it I at this point I would say it's probably his worst surface um but just dominant uh I feel like he has more shape on his shots now the margins are bigger he's not missing like first balls ever uh and credit to him because you can be successful to a certain level and be scared of change because of that success right clean house brings in Darren K Hill adjust his team two years ago when he was still he was a top 10 player two years ago and very young on the upswing makes that change Midway through last year goes from a platform serve to bringing the foot up and now he's almost unbreakable getting a lot more swing uh on the slice Sur so Deuce add side and what does that do first ball strike all of a sudden he has three more feet of court to work with to hit that ball into um is barely getting broken is breaking serve the movement piece is absurd for his career you're going okay he's too skinny is he going to grow into his body and he he kind of looked like a you know three years ago he kind of looked like a baby giraffe when he was going around the court you could see uh the flashes of Brilliance but his body didn't look like it was totally mature I'll tell you what it's mature now the way that this guy is sliding getting in and out of the corners uh running down Drop shots switching directions it's it's it's crazy uh the the I feel like he in the last six months he skipped a level two he went from like I'm 10 in the world to I'm maybe the best player in the world like and we'll see if it's consistently up to a career- high ranking uh number two in the world I'm not sure what the strategy is against him moving forward besides like I hope that Klay comes and he's just not as good on it um because that that run last fall and then this start to the year it's like jok of vichan is that a word it is now can we make it one it is now um so I I hope I did what he did Justice I mean the comps are absurd what he's done so far this year is is insane uh just going up levels upon levels um and I'm not sure what the interruption is going to be Beyond just getting to a different surface and uh I know for those top guys Mev Carlos Novak that change when matching up with Center can't come uh soon [Music] enough [Music] n
