Grigor got the best of him in their last two meetings in Shanghai in 3 and Miami in 2 but given the match Grigor had prior, how much left does he have in the tank? Find out tonight 6pm PST/9pm EST
Long-time lurker here and I have to say what a topsy-turvy match as usual from Sincaraz. Brilliant in moments, lots of UEs, but I think that's because these two young stars get quite nervous due to the media buzz around whenever they play. Having said that, I've noticed a lot of repetitive talk...
I'm not saying that Carlos Alcaraz is as good as the Big 3 together, let alone one of them, but to me there's no denying that his game resembles different qualities of the Big 3's games, for instance with Djokovic it's the sliding backhand and the drop shot + lob combo, with Federer it's the...
Who wins the US Open after the two shocking early departures? Only two previous major titleists in the field, neither multi-major champs. Plus a field of people led by Zverev chasing the ultimate trophy. Should be fun to watch it play out.
If you can forget the championship point muggery in the next game, watch Carlos the great unleash his God-gifted talents as the legendary Novak serves to stay in the match in the third, 4-4.
The title is also meant to celebrate the legendary return to form of the young King of Tennis...
Carlos Alcaraz has become the youngest male player to win both a slam on all surfaces and the number one in ATP history. Especially impressive his is record in five setters, winning 10 out of 11. Watching quite a few of those matches I have reached the following conclusions:
1) He is obviously...
Since last year much talk have been about Alcaraz's effective use of the forehand drop shot and rightly so. He's probably the player who uses it most and in the best way.
But Sinner has developed this strategy into his game as well, especially since 2023. Sinner isn't exactly known for his...
Hi there, I'm new here so I hope this is not (too) redundant, but I haven't really found a recent post about this: do you guys think that Sinner and Alcaraz will end up sharing the slam titles for the next 15 years in a similar way the big 3 have until recently? Specifically, what do you think...
ATP H2H: 4-3 for Sascha
HC H2H: 3-1 for Sascha
GS H2H: 1-1 tie
With a win over Zverev, Carlitos would reach SF at all four Grand Slams, among active tennis players, Djokovic, Nadal, Murray and Čilić have achieved this. Sascha will be looking to equaled his best result at AO from 2020. Who will...
Do you think Carlitos Alcaraz is suffering the vertigo or the hangover in the season after winning his first Grand Slam title like Iga Swiatek had in 2021?
Discuss.
Let’s face it, RUUD stands no chance against Alcaraz whatsoever. Zverev however has actually defeated him last year, that match could have been over in 3. Plus nobody is more hungrier than Zverev .
there is no way alcaraz is using the aero VS, ive tried it and its really bad racket.
the reasons why its a bad racket its because it has no control, Its a 50% miss shot, only if you hit it fast maybe you are lucky to choose the direction you want, and it doesnt feel like the same aero rafa is...
Which generation between the original Next Gen and the FARMS Gen will be the most successful at the end of their journeys?
-Original Next Gen best 5: Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Ruud and Rublev.
-FARMS Generation 5: Auger-Aliassime, Alcaraz, Rune, Sinner and Musetti.

Hi everyone, I am looking for a new pair of tennis shoes, and I've been looking at the Nike Court Vapor Pro, because I mostly play on clay (I am from Argentina) and I need a shoe that has that rubber protection on the inner side, since my shoes always end up getting a hole in this part (see...
19 years old Carlos is a brilliant match for 21 years old Iga. That would be the greatest tennis couple since Agassi & Graf undoubtely.
Can you imagine their children with such perfect genes?
A daughter destined to be a WTA unstoppable force.
A son destined to be an ATP monster.

It's 20-years old Sascha in his epic win against Djokovic in the M1000 final.
"A Star Is Born" as ATP announces.
And we have 14-years old Carlos.
Tiny kid playing junior tournaments.
Would you believe 5 years later who is the first to win his maiden slam title?
Looking pretty bleak that anyone will catch him this season. Nadal probably will have a limited schedule, possibly won't play at all. That means the potential 1600 point lead on Ruud, 1800 on Tsitsipas are the only two likely technically "in the race." Brutal point gap to overcome. He already...
Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas have officially qualified for the ATP Finals. They join Rafael Nadal (officially) and Novak Djokovic (unofficially). That leaves four more spots remaining. In theory Medvedev and Ruud could both qualify by meeting in the US Open final, both needing a minimum...
Serena Williams, and presumably her incredibly expensive lifelike waxwork in Madame Tussauds, stands at 5 foot 9 inches. Mr “6 foot 0” Carlitos has inadvertently exposed himself as no more than an inch taller than Williams (maybe even less, given the positioning of the knees) in this photo taken...
... for the taking at 2022 US Open, six players with a real shot at #1. Incredibly close, Nadal definitely in the driver seat, though.

Does Carlos play with a string spacing of the 2020 Pure Aero (more open string pattern of the 16x20) or the 2022 version of the Pure Aero 98 (16x20 still but slightly tighter string pattern)
Korda plays flawlessly so far (3-0 vs Millman, 3-0 vs Gasquet).
Alcaraz forced to defend a matchpoint in R64 against Ramos. Was looking vulnerable.
They both clashed last month in Monte-Carlo, Korda was better then.
Who's going to win this time?
