Frances Tiafoe takes down an in-form Sinner for the Erste Bank Open final after sensational comeback
ATP
Frances Tiafoe had a miraculous comeback against Jannik Sinner who served for the match but failed to close it out only to lose 3-6 7-5 6-2.
Jannik Sinner is doing everything that he can in order to secure a spot in the ATP Finals in Turin but today he botched a match he should have won. Sinner was cruising early winning the opening set with 6-3 and leading in the 2nd set with 5-3 when he served for the match. His performance today against Tiafoe should give him confidence ahead of next week's crucial Paris Masters.
Tiafoe did not play good tennis at all but when he avoided losing the match at 5-3 it's like a flip switched inside his head. He started playing much much better especially in the 3rd set where he was simply too good for SInner. His energy was amazing throughout the match never seemingly dropping off physically.

At 5-3 Sinner was serving for the match and he faced the first issues he had all day. He got broken and that was the start of a 4-game run from Tiafoe to win the 2nd set with 7-5. A tremendous turnaround by Tiafoe who relaxed and hit some amazing forehands and volleys. The final set featured an even better play by Tiafoe who played as a man possessed.
He took a double break lead with some sensational play overall, both from the baseline and at the net. He served great never allowing much to his opponent closing out the 3rd with 6-2.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
