Miami Open - ATP Masters 1000 - 2022

Sic shot Carlos fh winner 102 mph

 

[kskate2]

First step in trying to beat Carlos is to get him 'off balance from the baseline' good luck

It's not easy to do, but can be done. It starts w/ the serve. You have to serve smartly. Into the body, mix it up and don't become predictable. Take care of your serve and then be aggressive in the return games. Also take the net away from him. If you come in wisely and first then you can control the forecourt.

What a CCFH pass Ruud hit there to save one of the SPs

 

[rafanoy1992]

@MargaretMcAleer you are correct that Ruud has reading Alcaraz's drop shot well in this match.

 

[Moxie]

One of the comparisons to Nadal is his ability to turn a set around. Kid has a great head, terrific patience and belief.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Alcaraz wins the first set, 7-5. At the end of the day, Ruud's backhand is just not a reliable shot especially against a player like Alcaraz.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think Casper's bhand wing has let him down,Carlos has been targeting it well with results

 

[Moxie]

Fantastic point, but Carlitos gets the break.

 

[kskate2]

Carlos in the zone now. He will be very tough to beat with a set and break lead. He's just 4 games away now from his first masters title.

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ruud needs work on his bhand wing

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A much needed love service game from Ruud there

 

[kskate2]

Kid serving it out like a champ

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done Carlos being the youngest champion in this tournaments history!
