2023 Wimbledon SF: Alcaraz vs. Medvedev

[kskate2]

Meddy needs to be the one I want to see on Sunday vs the Great Siberian Slayer otherwise I'm going to church!

You need to be in church anyway and watch that match on replay, especially since your boy is MIA

Nice first set for Carlitos.

Early break to Carlos. That penultimate point was brilliance at the net.

He looks sharp. No lapse after a challenging week and a half. He should get through in three.

ESPN had this article about Alcaraz's improvement on grass. He's learning in real time. James Blake says, "The rate he's getting better is absolutely absurd." The article says he learns like a "human AI."

Meddy needs to make an adjustment in his service return..foolish to keep being a victim to the Carlitos drop shot

Carlito in 3 sets. He is fast approaching the level of the former big 3. He is beignning to look like an all-surface player. And he is a handsome young man!!

Handsome? He’s OK looking.

Carlos is demolishing Meddy elegantly,and the Russian seems to have no clue on how to play the young fella.

Carlos breaks again. Glum faces in the Medvedev camp.

Medvedev looks like he just wants to get off court at this point.

 

[tossip]

Carlos is playing good ball,and he might stop Joko..

Credit to him and to Ferrrero… when learning is fun and viewed as a lifelong process - that’s when you see the eagerness and the desire. Carlos has all of it… and it’s not AI.

This has become a practice session, with Alcaraz testing what he wants to do in the final.

Yes..it's a practice session and he seems to be enjoying toying with Medvedev.

It's true...it's smarts and youthful enthusiasm. And Ferrero. He's blessed in his coach. They're like father and son, too.

The main difference is that Novak will be returning from the baseline rather than the middle row of the front box.

 

[Moxie]

Oops...the break back.
