Roland Garros / French Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

[Moxie]

And he gets broken at love. This is getting away from Steph in a hurry.

 

[Kieran]

Agree, though you were think by now he would have more awareness?

Not under that pressure. We’ve seen better players than him similarly affected in big matches, including Rafa..

 

[nehmeth]

Stef is just mis hitting the ball and his timing is now way off

As I said, Musettiesque in the comprehensive beatdown about the happen. Carlos doesn’t go on long walkabouts.

 

[Moxie]

He's hitting those drop shots right now with the wind at his back. It's like a magic trick.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Not under that pressure. We’ve seen better players than him similarly affected in big matches, including Rafa..

Agree, pressure is something in any match you have to deal with, I wouldnt like to face Alcaraz on any surface quite frankly lol!

 

[don_fabio]

Watching this, I’m wondering if we’re going to see another Musettiesque type of beat down for Stefanos.

There's no need to wonder.

 

[Kieran]

Crowd will start munching their baguettes and booing random strangers if Tsitsipas holds serve…

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a chance gone missing by Stef over played the point,though set up the point well

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Stef 1st serve goes missing when he needs it
OMG Stef takes some pace off your serve?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Genius from Alcaraz and he breaks for a 4-1
I just sit back with my mouth open with some of thes shots he just plays with ease, he has no boundaries at all

 

[Kieran]

It must be very dispiriting facing a player with Federeresque skills - on clay. He’s got this phenomenal ability to make everything work for him, when he’s on, and he tends to be on..

 

[Moxie]

Another break. Carlos Alcaraz is enjoying being Carlos Alcaraz right now. 20 years old, and the world is his oyster.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The grip change from Alcaraz is disguised he then plays a drop shot to perfection lol!

 

[Kieran]

I’m gonna start calling Charley Le Bag of Cement because that’s how them drop shots land..

 

[atttomole]

Tsitsipas is rattled. This young man is a phenomenon!! That’s ominous for Tsitsipas, who could end up without a slam. Alcarez will gobble up the slams.

 

[Moxie]

OMG, DFs away the set. I bet he wishes he could just shake hands right now. He doesn't look like he's about to claw his way back into this match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcaraz wins the 2nd set 61, 2 sets to love in just over 1 hour
Stef you are not allowed to having a running conversation with your box?
Don Fabio please send the Duck Tape for Papa Stef who is just being over annoying now

 

[Kieran]

Tsitsipas glad his shirt is the same colour as clay, the tennis equivalent of camouflage you use when you’re embarrassed…

 

[Kieran]

OMG, DFs away the set. I bet he wishes he could just shake hands right now. He doesn't look like he's about to claw his way back into this match.

That stupid Safina-style pleading with his box, it’s pathetic..

 

[don_fabio]

I honestly don't know how Novak plans to handle this guy on Friday, but he can try and he will, probably just to find out that he is slowly becoming an obsolete model.
