20, 22 & 24 slam title wins, and we'll never see the likes again.

Alcaraz is 22 with 5 slams already and Sinner is 23 with 4. One of them has won the last 7 grand slam events.

I can see them getting close in the next decade, as there's nobody anywhere near them right now.

I agree but there will be someone who comes through even if they’re a bit off at the moment.

Think Draper could win one you know, that kid from Brazil Fonseca looks like he’s going to be something else etc….

These two are incredible at the moment.

Sinner was ridiculous there. broke his heart really

There's loads coming through Shelton, Mensik, Rune among others.

It's us, not me. Fight inequality.

Like Rune.

He’s gone off the boil a bit hasn’t he?

Yes, only just turned 22, Mensik only 19 also and he walloped Draper a few months ago.

Draper beat Rune in the final of Indian wells didn’t he? Played really well as well. Won comfortably

Think Mensik beat him 7-6 7-6 in the next tournament in Miami.

I’d take that as a walloping any day of the week!

Haha, probably a bit ott calling it a walloping in fairness, he just looked much the better player in the same kind of way that Sinner did today. Both dominated their opponents i thought.

Haha aye mate if I remember correctly he played a couple of brilliant tie breaks and definitely was the the better player.
Draper looked a bit jaded - he was superb in Indian wells.

Didn’t actually see his loss to Cilic at Wimbledon. Cilic is no mug though and must’ve rolled back the years a bit

He wasn't aggressive enough, his heavy top spins didn't trouble Cilics height in the slightest, couldn't handle the flatness of the returns either.

Cilic was easily a class above Draper, and his coaching team should be shot for his approach. He had one mode and that was it. He's young right enough, but worrying signs that he couldn't change anything about his game. Some young Italian kid put Cilic out.

His game seems more suited to hard courts to me. Grass is such a specialist surface isn’t it…

Like I say, I didn’t see it but I wasn’t in a state of disbelief he lost to him on grass.

He’s got loads of potential though and hes number 4 in the world so he’s obviously doing something right.

He’s miles behind the top two currently obviously but he’s as good as anyone in the chasing pack i reckon.

He was completely lost. Think his game is hugely about power and he may have a US Open in him.

I hope when he looks back upon his life, it's always with a sense of shame.

It's not. We'll never see the likes of them again was a phrase bandied about by many a couple of years ago.

good as that was, it’s going to get a bit boring them playing each other in every final for the next ten years

why are you so argumentative? this is obvious stuff

They're both absolutely superb. Some standard that final was
