2022 USO SF: Alcaraz vs. Tiafoe

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yeah it was the same for adelaide. 9GEM had a prior commitment to cross to some womens football game and made a snap decision to move the tennis to 9GO offshoot. You see Margaret, that's another reason why they should reduce mens to best-of-three sets because of the uncertain finish times and that mens tennis these days can be long drawn out encounters.

Still NO

 

[kskate2]

pulled that one wide. 5-5

 

[kskate2]

big first serve. SP for Foe

 

[Vince Evert]

Other broadcast channels in other countries probably have those issues, too.

 

[Moxie]

What to want? What to want??

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Crap that was wide from Alcaraz

 

[kskate2]

oh no. pulled that one wide too and loses the TB. Going 5

 

[Vince Evert]

big first serve. SP for Foe

They're going 5. Oh dear. I was hoping CARLOS to prevail.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Two sets a piece. Wow, the lesson is take Alcaraz to a tiebreak.

 

[Moxie]

Oh, boy...and we're going 5!!!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

oh no. pulled that one wide too and loses the TB. Going 5

He needs to play the percentages in tight situations, I love him being Fearless, at times it does go against him

 

[kskate2]

How much will either player have left for the 5th. Frances just used up a lot of energy.

Yeah, he's showing his youth through being almost too aggressive. The announcers keep saying how he's winning the rallies but is going for broke on second serves and messing up more often than not. He needs to be a tad more patient, methinks. But he also could be getting tired.

So did I just watching lol!

 

[Vince Evert]

i reckon the boy is tiring.

Point, I have seen him do the same thing in other tournaments, I guess it is a learning curve, and hopfully JFC will point this out to him going forward.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Let’s see how much either has left in the tank. The tension.

I don't think he's tired. He's not the only guy that misses a line by a bit. See the last point. More often than not, he plays smart and with pretty good margin.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Draws first blood and breaks, but we will see if he sees the finish line or nerves.

 

[kskate2]

Foe drops serve early. 0-1
