Very good comment! I was thinking exactly the same. Greetings

Yoon: He sure had the crowd behind him.

He also beat kyrgios

iam a fan of him since i saw his college matches. he was supposed to be there years ago

@@woswasdenni1914 I always loved watching his college matches back then.

@@Ninja-gt3zi: Everyone beats Kyrgios.

McDonald played a credible tennis ; he is a real potential for the future ! Cheers

He even looks like a solid top 15/10 player to me? Why do you believe he will only reach top 40?

@@aaronwamser3858 I don't think he can only reach top 40. saying top 40 means anywhere in there, but for me thats where I see him as a player, keep in mind he is 115 before this tournament.

The interesting thing about Yannick is he started out much later than most did. Like in his teens!

He is joke player

I love how he and serve and volley. Appreciate it a lot in a game where there are a lot of strong baseline hitters

I saw McDonald's matches at UCLA. Really fun but one of the worst line callers in college tennis. Just shameless crookery, particularly on key points. That said, he's a great ball-striker and I hope he continues his recent success.

@@johnny8927 Agreed, he does it less often these days however.

spot on

@Nate S. nobody's impressed.

Surabhi: Hope they both do.

Yes! Look out Korda, Fritz, Isner, Opelka....

He is so inconsistent , lost to fucking escobedo in mexico , he wont achieve anything with his inconsistency

@@kingkong-xc7bk lol he is already in the top 100? Thats quite an achievement. What have u done so far?

He's like Kei Nishikori the future looks bright for him

He deserves it! Great effort this week

the way his returns reach the other end, is v.deep... just like how Djoko hits the returns and forehands!! thats why sinner is similar to DJoko in the forehands aspect!!

It’s such a delight to see what italian tennis has been presenting To the Men’s tennis right now Sinner and Museti are definitely the ones I find the most exciting to watch

@@studioflat6885 i would like to see someone outs djoko, rafa in all the courts- hardcourts, clay courts, grass and indoor!! let new gen -NEXTGEN comes up and write a new history !!and let Sinner be the top !!! let him upset djoko in AO hardcourts , Wimby Grass and US O hardcourts and ATP Finals and give shock treatment to rafa in Clay-FO..

@@codeaffection10 I was referring specifically to the Italian tennis boom and all their young talent. For sure I agree with you, the Big 3 are on another galaxy of their own. Let’s wait 6 or 7 years and this is what I predict: Djokovic will be the one with the most GS wins ( like it or not) and Sinner will be the world # 1

I think Rafa and Novak are going to start to struggle against these guys. They look so fast (youth) Not the Medeveds and Thiems.

@@markcrisp07 Absolutely. All four semi finalists played at an exceptionally high level. Nishikori was of course the oldest but they will be huge threats to anyone in the draw.

@@markcrisp07 No one beats time. That day will come

Hoping for US open

@@francescojunioresposito4507 slams are just a complete different dynamic compared to best of 3. if sinner can cover the distance in masters then he is doing really good as once you master the best of 3 then the next step up is slams.

no shit

well, 64th

Congrats to McDonald. However, I would like to bet with you he is NOT going to reach QF in ANY Grand Slam. He will be demolished by the top 10. He is not at their level at all…. 26 yo never won any ATP title, runner up in only 1 ATP tournament. It’s for a reason.

@@Molloy1951 - no logic behind this. Look at Karatsev. For a reason?

I respectfully disagree. Injuries held Mac back. He has no real weaknesses!

@@endlichjura I have nothing against McDonald. The reality is he has nothing, not only 1 title. We might like him, but thinking he will emerge as a top player now, at the age of 26 and with no credentials whatsoever, would be wishful thinking more than realism from our part. I hope we can talk again in 3 years. Let’s see who was right about this. Maybe you guessed it right. I stick with my initial position, though.

It’s hard to remember that he’s only 19, but he’s on track to reach the top ten by the end of next year

@@jackasta86 possibly the end of this year if he keeps playing like this He’s 15th now

@@davidrieger8816 I still think he's a better claycourt player. He gets a lot more time to smash those huge FH's and BH's on that surface.

Italy is becoming the new Spain in manufacturing young male tennis players.

Right now his best surface is hard, but he'll learn how to play better on the grass and the dirt in time for next Spring.

Spooky !! :))

Sinner loses r1 next tournament?

It Follows: the tennis version

@Nate S. tell that to karatsev

@Nate S. 🤦

@Nate S. He also won Dubai 500 mate. He is a late bloomer. Also, have you ever heard of a guy called Wawrinka......

@Nate S. Imagine having an inferiority complex about being a tennis fan

@Nate S. i mean he was a top 20 player already i wouldnt say its exactly professional scouting youve done there big man

@Doge di Amalfi Yup, Berrettini off only the forehand. Sinner's backhand (one of the best in the business) is far superior. You can also include Zverev in the mix (when he's feeling it)

Agree. Not too many players who can match Sinner's pace and consistency off both flanks. I know for certain, one of the few players who hits harder than Sinner is Basilashvili, but he's been inconsistent.

yall forget about thiem

Rublev, Basilasvili

Rublev from the right wing for sure…

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gpaTYWuJoIuhomg.html

watch McDonald vs Dimitrov AO 2018, he played brilliantly in that match

TaNz: Lucky Duck.

me too! it was so great

Not sure about Berritini lol, but Sinner yes

Fully agree for Jannik, i bit less for Berrettini, who is a great player with a to weak back hand. Another young player to be followed is Musetti the most talented guy among the next gen

@@cristianopamfili3949 ur italian right?

@@petesampras3188 yes Pistol Pete, from Trieste but globetrotter since 1994. Actually in Dubai

@@cristianopamfili3949 because u didnt mention Carlos Alcaraz who is younger and higher ranked

verissimo. tutti qua ad elogiare lui là come avesse vinto lui. grande sinner e pure la pastasciutta 😀

@Doge di Amalfi he is now in the 31 position in the atp finals race, so he can close the year in the top 20

Absolutely correct! If makie can start his pro career as early as dinner, he perhaps already won multiple titles. I don’t meant NCAA is not competitive, but it clearly pull makie to a lower level of tennis.

I wish they both had bigger weapons, because they're both such smart players otherwise

Il problema é che il nostro paese é specialista nel mettere pressione a caso ai giovani e li si lascia mai crescere in santa pace

But he literally just got better at serving?

Haha yes he actually just made huge changes to his serve, going back to platform stance. In the final he served a bit less than the rest of the tournament. I believe I read he only lost 22 points in the whole tournament up to the final.

Don't Tsitsipas dirty like that 😂

Who cares about ATP 500 titles if you don't perform well in Majors? And he didn't beat a single top 10 player. Talk about a big fish in a small pond. Tsitsipas beat 4 top 10 players in a single tournament at his age.

@@NG-wx4kw The comment above was surely a wrong comparison but also your point is not very accurate if you want to give more credit to Tsitsipas as a promising youngster. Stef beat 4 top 10 players in Toronto when he was just a few days older than Sinner today, since he would have turned 20 the day after the final, so they had pretty much the same age (their birthdays are just 4 days apart), but at that age, Tsitsipas had 4 wins and a 4th round in Majors (against Sinner's 8 and a quarter final), they both beat 5 top 10 (Stefanos 7 times and Jannik only 5) and Sinner had three more ATP titles (3) than him (0). Adding the fact that after Toronto, the Greek was no 15 just like the Italian today, to me it seems like they had similar results, but of course, today Tsitsipas is no 3 and Sinner is 15th so clearly 3 years of age make a huge difference in one's own career.

@@filippodelledonne2090 also the frozen rankings aren't helping Jannik

@@filippodelledonne2090 I agree with the gist of your reasoning. The point I was trying to make is that the comparison has to be put into perspective. Well done to Sinner for winning his first ATP 500 title. However, Tsitsipas bagged 600 points by reaching the final in Toronto where he got the better of 4 top 10 players -I stand corrected re Tsitsipas' age at the time.

@sd YES! That's the weakest part if his game for sure!

I agree. And his second serve could use a boost

Garin beat him at the French open this year

You mean murica

In the quarter finals and semis of this tournament he had a big service and a lot of first serve.

Great Talent for sure, but tbh this wasnt the best seeded tour, Nadal was the only top 10 player, if i remember correctly?

@@petesampras3188 yes, but Rafa is a Big 3 member, so he counts as (at least) 3 TOP-10s even if he wasn't in-form

@@flameyt4149 wasnt he injured?, and he is getting old and hard court was never his best surface

@@petesampras3188 he won 5 hard court Slams, while all the next gen got only one, but still it was a great tournament on paper. I think this atp 500 is better than Hamburg for example

@@flameyt4149 yes great achievement, but iam just honest, his best enemy was Korda at rank 45, and the last 3 enemys were players i never heard of, so im afraid haters still gonna hate

Huang: Definitely not a choker is he. That's what I admire most about his game.

@@notsohandytim5090 He is not. I'm a Fed fan so you know how we get PTSD from you know...THOSE matches

Impossible auahhaha. Mcdonald can't penetrate top 10. There are lost of player better than him
