Gill Gross answers your comments, including: What is the status of Carlos Alcaraz and his title draught, how do the elite backhands in the Australian Open semifinals stack up, is men’s tennis more consistent than women’s due to best-of-five, is Novak Djokovic’s loss to Jannik Sinner a sign of lack of motivation, is this current top-four ready to dominate, what can Sinner improve from here, is Daniil Medvedev the best one-slam player ever, how can tennis media get better and thoughts on Andy Roddick’s new podcast, an update on Three, my take on Patrick Mouratoglou’s Djokovic take, is Rafael Nadal’s stock up or down after January, revisiting my top-10 prediction, Alcaraz overreaction and expectations, plus much more!
