2024 Roland Garros Final: Alcaraz vs Zverev

[MargaretMcAleer]

There is the bhand that has been missing Carlos!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A break to love from Alcaraz he is turning this back into his favor

Carlos moved in on returns, taking them early and immediately breaks Zed.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Now Zed looks 'befuddled' again

 

[nehmeth]

I have noticed when Zverev gets tight he bounces the ball more, more so on his 2nd serve

It’s interminable. And I’m a Djokovic fan.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Carlos again a bit sloppy on serve

 

[nehmeth]

BP for Zverv

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It’s interminable. And I’m a Djokovic fan.

Remember when Novak used to bounce the ball about 20 times before he served lol!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

3rd DF from Carlos on deuce
Good response serve down the tee slider

[MargaretMcAleer]

over 20.

I was trying to be kind with 20

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Kid has Arse a great disguise on the drop shot

20? Probably at least 10 more

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good tough hold from Alcaraz he holds on and leads 5-2

 

[Moxie]

Good hold.

 

[don_fabio]

Zverev is fighting hard and earns to live in this set still.

 

[nehmeth]

That side of the court has not been kind to either player… Zverev breaks back

I think the comp of Alcaraz and Nadal is a bit lazy, probably due to both being Spanish. Someone called him a chameleon, and to me that seems more apt. A bit of Novak, a bit of Rafa, a bit of Roger...and really, his own combination. But he also has his own weakness, which is hard to pinpoint...perhaps part of his chameleon nature is switching into a kind of lost little boy mode.

One thing about Zverev: his movement is underrated. He's getting to balls in a Novak-esque fashion. I think he looks slower than he is because he's so big and lanky. But he seems to lack any magic to his game. He is ferocious when in a groove and just hammers the ball, but he doesn't quite have that x-factor that the greats can pull out.

Wind factor

Carlos is playing too much to the crowd.
