2022 USO SF: Alcaraz vs. Tiafoe

[Moxie]

First set to Tiafoe!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Too many UFE from The Kid in the t/breaker especially that DF at the end which game Tiafoe the 1st set

 

[Front242]

I still feel as though Alcaraz still has this match.

Quite likely alright but I only cared about the first set ! I have Alcaraz winning it 3-1 but never know.

I think over the course of the match trying to maintain a high quality on serve for Tiafoe is a huge task.

 

[Moxie]

What a point!!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Kid has not returned the Foe 2nd serve well enough so far, he needs to do better

Foe gets out of a hole at love 30 and holds

 

[Front242]

2am here now so gonna head away so hope the rest of the match is good. €10 on Alcaraz to win 3-1 just there so will wake up to the result I hope he wins 'cos Alcaraz or Ruud for number 1 is a no brainer.

Sometimes, I feel like Alcaraz is a mixture between Monfils and Nadal. At times, he wants to be ruthless and play efficient, effective tennis and then at other times he tries for the flashy unnecessary winners that work out for him on occasion.

He has to wake up on the return and do better period and make Tiafoe sweat and doubt himself more.

Good comparison. Makes me think of Kyrgios with the damn tweeners at inappropriate times! Definitely gone now

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Finally a break! Now hold your serve.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

He holds!

 

[Moxie]

Awesome pass there.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

A set a piece. I kind of want this two go 5 because this is an entertaining match.

I think for now it's just youthful exuberance. I don't think he's really a showboat.

 

[Moxie]

Did he just say that Alcaraz hasn't lost in straights all year?!

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Tiafoe is falling apart it seems.

Tiafoe is falling apart it seems.

Might be a bit early for that.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Again having troubles with this site

Anyway Vamos Kid!

The Toe is way off his game at present

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another break here and The Toe can kiss this set Goodbye
