2022 USO Final: Ruud vs. Alcaraz

[Moxie]

Mrzz with just a few cameo appearances of late.

 

[El Dude]

Well cameos is better than nothing!

 

[kskate2]

bad dropper. BP

 

[Moxie]

Indeed. BP for Ruud.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There you go over use of the drop shot and Ruud with a BP

 

[El Dude]

While I'm as excited to see the next great player emerge, there's a part of me that wants to see Ruud win this. Carlos is going to win a bunch of Slams, while Ruud might only have a few real chances (i.e. finals).

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ruud with the break~

 

[El Dude]

WOW

 

[El Dude]

What a great point by Ruud

 

[Moxie]

Again with the bad dropper and he missed the passing shot.

 

[kskate2]

wow. another dropshot and he is broken. JCF w/ some work to do offline

 

[kskate2]

Casp is all fired up now. He just stole the momentum

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Body language now better for Ruud with that break

 

[Moxie]

Anyone ever figure out if we've ever had 2 men (or two players at all) competing for first Major final AND #1 at the same time?

 

[Moxie]

too much adrenaline there for Ruud.

 

[kskate2]

what is Casp doing? BP for the rebreak

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Big serve from Casper

 

[El Dude]

I didn't look into it, Mox, but pretty sure it is a first. I suppose the quickest way to research it is to narrow the field to Slamless finalists...there will be a bunch, but not an overwhelming amount.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcaraz shouts out he is frustrated first time I have seen that

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good Hold Ruud leading 5-2
