2022 USO Final: Ruud vs. Alcaraz

[MargaretMcAleer]

Casper and Carlos both are mature beyond their ages and respectful too

 

[Vince Evert]

The thing that impressed me about the ALCARAZ boy is the sheer exhuberance he brings to the court and how about the level of tennis today (from both competitors). Great to watch!

 

[Vince Evert]

Yes Moxie is, Alcaraz talks too quick for me, my Spanish is limited lol!

So does the italians, especially females LOL...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Vince LOL! only when we get emotional

 

[Vince Evert]

I also like ALCARAZ hair style. Wish i had a head of hair like him when i was his age and especially now

I love DC good that channel 9 is covering it, not a big fan of Laver Cup

 

[Vince Evert]

another one here, but it ends abruptly following match-point. Not edited particularly well these highlights .

 

[Moxie]

Alcaraz didn't say anything is Spanish that you wouldn't expect. He thanks his team and his family. He just says it more eloquently.

 

[Vince Evert]

Now this one looks better... 17 minutes is about the right length of time for encapsulated 4 set highlight reel. Beats the USTA measly 3,4 minute jobs

 

[Vince Evert]

Good on you MOX. Hey, who did you have calling the mens final on american TV ?

 

[Moxie]

Is MOX spanish background is she? What did the boy ALCARAZ say in his speech ?

For the record, I am not Spanish background. i lived in Spain for a number of years and speak fluent Spanish. For that reason, though, I feel a great affinity for Spain.

 

[Moxie]

Calling it for us was the McEnroe brothers.

Amazing from the young Alcaraz! Thank you all for watching it with me. Historic day in men's tennis.

Oops I thought you were Spanish, see I learnt something new today

Good on you MOX. I missed the opener three games but was able to tape it on my old faithful Panasonic HD recorder. Saw parts of the match from then on and conversed here.

 

[Vince Evert]

I'd like to know what sort of TV ratings the final gets on both spanish and norwegian television? Is it as important in that part of the world as it is here and in the USA ?
