Jannik Sinner hasn’t played since winning Wimbledon in July due to a knee injury that, as is the rule with him, he has since said nothing about. That’s how he rolls. Will this time end up being different, though? tennissweetspot.substack.com/p/sinner-sha...

Sinner Shares Nothing. Deal With It.

Carlos Alcaraz accelerates away from Matteo Arnaldi 7-6 6-1 in Tokyo. After surviving set points in the 1st, Alcaraz switched on the afterburners, racing to a 5-0 lead before Arnaldi salvaged a game. He also had a few serves above 200 kph as he slowly ratchets up his pace after the wrist injury. 💪🎾

Finally got around to reading Navarro's full statement. Much respect for putting it out there for awareness. Knowing someone dear to me having to deal with Hashimoto's disease, I can't even begin to imagine what an athlete, who suffers from it, must be going through. Best wishes to Emma ✔️

This is not to hate on Taylor Fritz, but his total discomfort at the net, especially for an American raised on hard courts, is a failure of coaching from the time he first started playing (i.e., not so much now).

Pretty sure that’s Lynette Federer next to Andy Murray, and Robbie Federer two seats over (you could see them over Alcaraz’s shoulder during that interview). Their son was quite a prospect for Switzerland as a junior.

Congratulations to Team Europe fans, commiserations to Team World fans. That was fun.* *the tie isn’t over yet, obviously.

Point!! 11-11. Two exclamation points, in the circumstances.

122mph T. 10-10.

adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
9-9* at the third changeover. Brilliantly brave play by Fritz on the first MP on Alcaraz’s serve.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Shot! 8-6* Europe. A DTL BH is a wonderful thing, I’m told.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
6*-6 at the second changeover. All to play for.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
5-1* Carlos at the first changeover. That’s a precision FH DS winner.
010
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Case in point. 2*-1 Carlos, but a tremendous mini hold by Taylor.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
One set all. Fritz did a superb job in that second set of bending but not getting broken.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
That’s too good. Alcaraz rebreaks and leads 4*-3 and a break.
020
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
It’s the Zverev way.
030
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
That wasn’t even close. 4-3* Europe. Zverev’s inner passivity often resurfaces.

Wrote another one on Ben Shelton for NY Mag, ft. an ill-timed double fault, heat, people not wanting to watch Zverev, too many ball bounces, Shelton losing because of a bad performance and not deficiencies in his game and thus reason to believe in end to Roddick curse nymag.com/intelligence...

Ben Shelton Is Just Beginning
He fell to Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s U.S. Open final, but has a plausible chance to win here in the future.

Well, commiserations to Shelton fans. Zverev won 125-113, or 53% to 47%. Clean kill. Zverev didn’t know the match was over. An appropriate reaction for a match that smoldered for five minutes but never caught fire, I guess.
020
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Insurance break for Zverev, who now leads 5*-2 with a double break. There’s a faint sound of an opera lassie running up and down vocal scales.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Shelton holds with a bendy DTL FH, getting Zverev to expend a bit of energy in the process. 3*-2 Zverev with a break.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Well played, Sascha. Zverev holds, and leads 3-1*.
011
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Shelton holds from 0-30, but he trails 1-2* and a break, and he’ll need to break Zverev again to take the match to a fifth set.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Zverev consolidates the break at 15, leads 2-0*.

adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Ah, Ben. Sascha breaks and leads 1*-0 with a break.

adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Well played, Ben. Deuce. S+V down BP pays off.

adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
A tap from inside the coffin. Shelton breaks and wins the set when Zverev shows his traditional stone hands on a FH volley.

adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Shelton holds, leads 6-5* on serve. Either this match comes to life in the next two games or it dies never having lived.

adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Shot! 15-15. Shelton cracks a CC BH winner.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Two holds, 6-5* Ben, still on serve. Shelton again gets to 30-30, but no further.

adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Man down. 40-30. Shelton goes down face first against a DTL BH pass. No major damage done, apparently.
001
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Two holds, 4-3* Shelton on serve. First BP for Ben is dealt with very effectively by Sascha, a serve + CC BH winner combo.

This match so far is boring and feels inevitable. #USOpen

Well played, Ben. 30-0. Super combination of shots ending with a BH lob winner.

adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Two love holds, 3-2* Ben, on serve. Nothing else to report.
000
adbtennis.bsky.social @adbtennis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Three holds, 2-1* Shelton on serve. Zverev has been able to play nearly the whole match in his comfort zone because Shelton hasn’t been able to take him out of it.

Andy Roddick doing actual tennis analysis from the desk. Be still, my heart.

#Zverev now up 6-3 7-6. It will take a monumental effort by #Shelton to overcome this. If he does, it would be his first Major title, his first comeback from two sets down, and surely many other intangibles... #USOpen

Second set Zverev, unreturned T serve. Big hill for Ben now.
