Thinking Alcaraz or Sinner (obvious choices). Not sure if folks like Zverev or Rublev get over the hump and manage to beat BOTH of the other guys.
Swiatek or Sabalenka on the women's side.
Of course, I'll still be rooting for Coco who has the firepower...as well as Pegula/Navarro. And Fritz/Paul/Tiafoe/Shelton on the men's side.
I‘d love to see Dimitrov winning it, but chances are slim though. Women‘s side probably Sabalenka.
I love the video where Dmitrov, Tsitsipas, etc are trying to convert to a 2-handed backhand...yes, Dmitrov would definitely be a sentimental favorite.
Me, I've had a 1-hander most of my life, but this was the year I added the 2-hander for times I do not have time to setup for the 1-hander (like against big serves or just need to get that return by the net guy in doubles).
Haha crazy. I played double handed until my early thirties than i switched to a single handed. I simply love the shot. Only problem big servers as you mentioned. Hat to switch because of an old injury. Anyway RF was my alltime fav. player so i love the single hander as the most beautiful shot once timing fits😃
RF my favorite as well...and unfortunately, Dmitrov got the tag of "baby RF" (along with Bulgarian handbag when people said he was just an accessory for Sharapova when they dated).
RF was elegance and artistry personified on a tennis court - and carries himself with easy grace as an ambassador for the sport.
Although I modeled my 1-hander more after Wawrinka...end cap pointing at my target after follow-through.
Stan the man! 🔥
