Cincinnati Masters 2023, Ohio, US - ATP Masters 1000

Impressive break at love by the Pole. Wake up Carlos.

HH has been serving over 70 percent first serve for the past few matches

Carlos Alcaraz has looked almost human in Cincinnati—how long can he live on the edge? | Tennis.com

His three wins, over 55th-ranked Jordan Thompson, 13th-ranked Tommy Paul, and 70th-ranked Max Purcell, have all gone three sets.

Interesting commentary from Tignor. Is it mental fatigue from all the tennis? Is part of it the transition from being the hunter and now the hunted? Hurkacz has had a good tournament. Hopefully Carlos can right the ship here and win it in two.

I absolutely HATE the coaching that is allowed!

For the love of tennis Charly another slow start

Co-Signed! I never thought I would see the day coaching is allowed in WTA and now ATP....

One of the things I loved about tennis was the importance of being able to think for yourself, make adjustments when your game plan wasn’t working. Now you have these people yelling what to do. I agree with you. It detracts from the game.

Same here, JCF and Carlos talk a lot during the matches.

If you want to be the top you have to expect you are going to be hunted, its part of the game, help me Hubi's game puts me to sleep and he needs to find a personality

I'm serious..I like the player having the ability to problem solve on their own..to much chatter during the match

Yep. We’ll see how Charlie does as the hunted. I prefer the quiet ways of Hurkacz to the incessant fist pumping by many of his peers. I think the only time he celebrates (a little) is when he wins a set. lol.

Too damn much..JCF should get a chair on the court . Good Grief

I agree I am Over the fist pumping on every point and then the player looks to his coach for approval lol!

He is still very handsome I can get a better look if he could get his chain on the court

It's a major annoyance and does distract from the game... Remember Pete said "there's no one for you to pass the ball to" . .Well now you opportunity to talk about it with your coaches

 

[nehmeth]

Hubie holds. Alcaraz continues his inability to convert on multiple break points.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Man how could you not pull for HH .what a shot and what a good sportsmanship he has. His parents raised him RIGHT

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What I cannot understand is that Charly is a very 'instinctive player' he dosent need this on going coaching from his box, it also affects a players concentration and focus

 

[nehmeth]

Tough seeing the ball coming out of the shadows into the sunlight for both guys. 2-2

Serving well sure gets you and keeps you out of tough spots
