He does everything better than Lorenzo… and mentally, he is waaay better

Lorenzo is still pretty green, in area's of his game, agree mentally Alcaraz is way better

Ahhhhh, NO! I guess that'll fuel more "hatin'!" You should be quite satisfied by now w/ Novak up 2 sets to Love in less than hour/half!

If you think I was gonna wake up early to watch “pushing” then you are crazy. Either way, I’m not worried as Alcaraz will destroy Djokovic in an eventual semifinal.

Novak is more prone to walkabouts for longer periods of a match. It has always been thus. Carlos has an incredible reset for someone so young. If the two of them make it to the semis, I would say the Spaniard is favored to win. He has a wonderful all around game and excellent technique. Hopefully Djokovic will play to the level he’s capable of and not sh*t the bed.

Good grip change from Alcaraz getting down low to play the volley which did go over the net, with some help from the net cord
Lorenzo you are your own worst enemy at times, dont shake your Top Knot, you played 'brainless tennis' and got broken

No, hopefully Alcaraz will win 6-0, 6-0, 6-0.

Lorenzo you have to do better disguise with your drop shot, Alcaraz reading them with ease and with his fast wheels

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ball abuse Musetti watch your anger please, got a warning, so you should have

I thought this would have been a little more competitive. Once again it is more a showcase for Alcaraz’s talent, than a match. Well done lad.

Quite frankly I did not, Lorenzo hasnt had a good clay season overall, surprised in ways he made it this far at RG,
Lorenzo body language is down now, to me he hasnt got a clue how to handle or compete with Alcaraz at present

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcaraz 2 sets to love 63 62

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Akcaraz is just putting on a show at present, showing his racquet speed, foot speed and choice of shots
Alcaraz has 1 BPs, he has a complete game and is just a pleasure to watch
Alcaraz breaks and consolidates his break 4-2, 3rd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BP for Alcaraz please take it and end my and Lorenzo misery
Bum Lorenzo saved it
Another BP for Alcaraz , breaks again and will serve for the match 5-2 Vamos!

 

[kskate2]

Carlitos breaks again and will serve for the match 5-2. He's in full flight now.

 

[kskate2]

I'm no fan of any kits on the men's side this year.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a performance by Alcaraz he makes tennis look so easy Well Done 63 62 62

Musetti got hit by a truck. He never stood a chance.

Some people thought here he could be considered as a threat to win the title LOL!

 

[kskate2]

Musetti got hit by a truck. He never stood a chance.

Not quite. He had a sliver of a chance at 2-0 in the first set before Charlie remembered his identity and drove said truck over the Italian.



At least he didn't open the bakery on P.C. today...
