Lead image is inspired by opponents saying: "There's nowhere to go. Everywhere you look Sinner has a weapon." Photo illustration of Janik Sinner is based on my original photo taken at Indian Wells. Four copies were rotated and merged in Photoshop using parametric filters. So, no it wasn't done with Gen AI, believe it or not :)

Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz not only have different styles, different tactics and different personalities, they use different techniques on their awesome forehands. Sinner has a bent-arm forehand with a severe Western grip, pretty much the norm on the ATP now. Carlos emulates his idol Fed, with a straight-arm forehand and more conservative grip., all Fed, Rafa, and Juan Martin del Potro.
And here's Sinner's biggest fan La Carrota ➡
