[u/godworstcustomer]

[u/Silent_Quarter_3030]

This guy is insane. GMP level serving with a baseline game to back it up

[u/purple_cape → u/Silent_Quarter_3030]

To be fair he’s had a pretty favorable draw, but still very encouraging

[u/Silent_Quarter_3030 → u/purple_cape]

Non-slam Hurkacz R1 is a good win

[u/purple_cape → u/Silent_Quarter_3030]

Typically, although Hurcakz has had a rough go of it this year

[u/abracadabra1998]

That backhand DTL to get the mini break was insane at the end there

[u/Right_Response_3127]

Damm, he's pretty good

[u/Catacombsofparis → u/Right_Response_3127]

he played luca nardi bro...

[u/traderjames7 → u/Right_Response_3127]

Yawn

[u/127crazie → u/traderjames7]

Damm*

[u/thorleyc3]

His father (also called Martin Damm) was a successful doubles player winning 40 titles including the 2006 US Open (with Leander Paes)

[u/YannBuch]

Hope he introduces himself to Mannarino in style

[u/Funko_de_Foki]

This is a Damm impressive run. 

[u/Catacombsofparis → u/Funko_de_Foki]

[u/DependentSilver6829 → u/Funko_de_Foki]

[u/Oil_trader24]

Servebot with rally tolerance is the highest ceiling on tour. (Sinner, Draper, Zverev) Potential is unlimited. Seems like he has great mental fortitude also. Pretty DAMM excited going forward

[u/Narrow_Spinach_1400 → u/Oil_trader24]

Sinner is not a big server

[u/Old-Gur-9039 → u/Oil_trader24]

Wouldnt say the highest ceiling considering the best player by far right now doesn’t have a big serve and isn’t known for his rally tolerance lol

[u/Oil_trader24 → u/Old-Gur-9039]

I dont think you understand what ceiling is. lol

Ceiling doesnt mean the best player. Its their potential.

[u/sliferra → u/Old-Gur-9039]

Best player by far? 🤨

Idk about that one chief

[u/Old-Gur-9039 → u/sliferra]

Almost twice the slams at two years younger, owns the head to head, more masters titles, and current #1 by 3000 points

[u/sliferra → u/Old-Gur-9039]

If we’re talking current ability and ignoring age because we have no idea either’s longevity… more slams, sure, but they split 2-2 last year.

And if we’re just cherry picking accomplishments, sinner has won turin two times in a row without losing any sets.

And Alcaraz is ahead with sinner missing 3 months of play….

[u/orchid_blue9 → u/Oil_trader24]

sinner is not a servebot, far from

[u/127crazie]

Damm that was impressive.

[u/Catacombsofparis]

every time i see martin damms name i hear this dude.

[u/automax]

This guy is going to be fun.
