You keep saying this. I'm not sure what Alcaraz fan you think is happy that he didn't serve that set out at 5-4. And we all love Coco, I think I can speak for the room.
I just feel like the criticism towards Coco is unfair. She could be down 4-2 (heck, even up 4-2) in a set, and people will be pointing out every little thing she's doing wrong, lol.

If he's going to win it, it's gonna take everything he has; maybe not having anything left for Sunday! :thinking-face: :astonished-face::fearful-face::face-vomiting:
Carlos, or Novak? Remember, Carlos won 3 five setters in a row before the USO final..

Yeah, I thought Carlos was going to lose the Tiafoe match, and when he got past that, the Ruud match for sure. The fact that he won those matches made me a believer.

There’s people here would claim that’s due to racism, then it’s racism again when her opponent is polite to her. I know you’re not saying that but with coco, I personally don’t see any reason for any criticism. People were expecting her to win Wimbledon before her 17th birthday. She’s never allowed to be just herself. She’s got to continue the legacy of the WS. Meanwhile, she’s having a career - her own career..

You cannot play tennis with a sore wrist. Was Novak off getting it fixed? How? A metallic wrist band? A tinfoil one?

I think it’s very satisfying for Carlos to hold serve there, after being kept waiting for so long..

Novak with some poor choices lately when chasing dropshots.

They just showed FH speeds per set, and Novak's was faster by 5? MPH, than in the first...what sore arm?
