2022 USO Final: Ruud vs. Alcaraz

[tossip]

Vamos muchacho

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If Alcaraz can lock down like that he will be hard to beat,reminds me of what Rafa did to Ruud at RG this year

 

[Moxie]

This set, Charlie. Please don't let it go 5.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcaraz not rushing now, like he was, he seems more 'measured' to me

 

[Moxie]

Has it been mentioned recently enough how handsome Juan Carlos Ferrero is? Checking.

 

[kskate2]

i'm sure a book has been written about it

 

[Moxie]

Yes, agreed, Margaret. He was guilty of rushing a lot in the first 3 sets.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Moxie Handsome indeed, he hasnt changed since his playing days, from memory he made the final at the USO

 

[kskate2]

he did make the final in 03 when he lost to ARod

 

[kskate2]

and if memory serves correctly, that match went 5 sets

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

KK Correct

 

[Moxie]

Correct, Cheese Karate. ARod in 2003.

 

[kskate2]

Carlito was 0-4 in TBs until today

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Moxie LOL!

 

[Moxie]

(I promise not to abuse that joke, but it was funny.)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

KK It was My Rosary Beads that turned the TB around for Alcaraz

 

[Moxie]

And my lucky shirt, and my candle...oh, and Carlos's fantastic TB!

 

[kskate2]

@MargaretMcAleer That's why I'm exasperated I missed the earlier appearance of the beads

 

[Moxie]

MM, I'm just laughing at our superstitions. But I hang onto them.

 

[kskate2]

Front can't still be around is he? It's pretty late over there now
