Medvedev did well to take the first two sets but the court time caught up with him. Would call that more a bodily failure than a choke.
It seems the new era is officially upon us with Alcaraz and Sinner now established slam champions and Djokovic having taken a step back. Would not put it past Novak to win more slams but his aura is definitely dimmed right now. Of course I hope Rafa will have a Roland Garros swan song but otherwise the clear favorite at RG is Alcaraz imo.
It will be interesting to see who has the better career between Alcaraz and Sinner. For my money Alcaraz is a clearly more talented ballstriker but Sinner has a height advantage, is clearly better at applying strategy, Alcaraz always seems to just be improvising, and Sinner also is showing better shot tolerance in long rallies. All a big part of sustained success.
