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

I’m surprised Carlos isn’t leaving the court..

He just has left the court

 

[don_fabio]

Noone knew this would happen sad to say

I'd say there was a possibility. Kid has already a few matches like this, from top of the head Bercy last year and against Norrie this year in the final of some Sout American clay tournament.

Maybe Zverev can win his first slam although can he mentally/physically handle 10 minute strategic MTOs from Djokovic? I doubt it. I still give him a better chance to beat Djokovic instead of Ruud, but maybe only a 25% chance. Either way Djokovic has ruined tennis and 90% of the fans have left our sport for Pickleball so none of this matters as our sport is dead.

 

[Kieran]

Maybe he's afraid of being "Booo'd!"

No he’s gone now apparently. But can’t you see clearly what an actual ailment looks like? This isn’t fake hamstring/elbow/wrist moment, we can actually see the effect of this..

Maybe it's something as simple as not being hydrated! I got cramp/charlie horses due to not taking in enuf water! Back as a kid I just didn't like it!

 

[Kieran]

It’s a great pity because it was a fabulous match..

Next time Carlos need to prepare with as many things as possible. (heck, I have taken a bottle of mustard to the court which sounds hokey but it helps tremendously and very rapidly to lessens the symptoms of muscles related cramps)

I wonder if this is cramp…

Yes he should prepare for the strategic 10 minute MTOs of Djokovic and keep his body warm.

It was going to be a hot day, all players have to prepare, start your hydration the night before for starters regarding cramping and keep up water and salt in your match

Carlos is back; took 6-7 min. and these a-#oles cheered him on!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Whatrever was done at the MTO Alcaraz moving better, than he was in the 3rd set

A drop shot winner from the Kid, winks to his box

Novak in a bit of a muddle her faces a BP
Smart serving erases the BP

 

[don_fabio]

Novak now dropped to the level of opponent

Its hard not to when you see your opponent struggling, he has to keep his mind on the job

I remember Rafa taking a set off Stan in that AO final while clearly injured.

Everyone else is allowed a real injury; just not Novak!

 

[Kieran]

Oh when he actually has one, we’ll know…

I was live at the match, I sat there in disbelief quite frankly
