Internazionali BNL d'Italia, Rome, Italy - Masters 1000

[MargaretMcAleer]

Wake up Jannik you played a very poor TB losing 76(4) to LL Shevchenko, who deserved his 2nd set win onto a 3rd set
Jannik through in 3 sets 63 67(4) 62.
Oh No he faces the 'dangerous Francisco Cerundolo' next

I can't see Djokovic going past both Norrie and Rune. It will be delicious.

Try wiping your glasses, then. Neither has been especially impressive of late.

Well at least he's playing on the tour! All you have are memories and video tape!

Maroszan is playing out of his mind. Superb set of tennis.

 

[don_fabio]

Marozsan with a break, leads.
4:3 2nd set. Alcaraz is looking frustrated.

To me, it doesn't matter if Djokovic beats Norrie and Rune because let's be honest, no one is beating Carlos Alcaraz right now. This feels like Hingis in 1997, early 1998 and Serena in 2002, early 2003. I wouldn't be surprised if Alcaraz completed the French-Wimbledon-US Open triple (like Nadal in 2010). It would probably be wise for Nadal to sit this season out, and hope Alcaraz regresses to the mean in 2024.

I guess you’re not watching the match. He’s in a world of hurt right now. He could be out of here in minutes.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Can Alcaraz serve in the TB get him out of big trouble

 

[kskate2]

something tells me, these are the moments he lives for @tented . I'm thinking he finds a way out of this TB and brings it in the decider

 

[kskate2]

OK, that was a brain fart.

 

[kskate2]

wow. 2 mp's

 

[tented]

MP for Marozsan.

EDIT: Wow, Alcaraz is out.

 

[don_fabio]

What a match from the hungarian miracle. I'm actually glad he brought Alcaraz back to earth a little bit.

 

[kskate2]

interesting. Just a poor TB from Charlie. It's an issue going into RG. JCF has to help him deal w/ these power players that have the ability to boss the points.

 

[tented]

Congrats to Novak for his 7th Rome Masters!

Yeah, looks like Carlos got a lesson today, which is no harm..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcaraz got a lesson today, which I feel in ways is helpful moving forward in his career, can expect him to win every match.

 

[tented]

Yeah, looks like Carlos got a lesson today, which is no harm..

This kid overpowered him, with *heavy*, fearless hitting.
