Holy ****, Alcaraz breaks Tsistipas immediately!

Popyrin has the serve and he also has a bit more range and tactical acumen than your average big server.

 

[junior74]

Alcaraz breaks Citybus. Will win the whole thing!!!

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Holy ****, Alcaraz breaks Tsistipas immediately!

Hallelujah

 

[ttwreader]

The kid looks really good.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Haha Evans losing it like he even has a real say here

 

[junior74]

Superb start from Alca. Already looking forward to the bathroom breaks.

 

[guga_fan]

Wow, Alcaraz playing very freely so far.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Praying Alcaraz stomps Tsitsipas

 

[ttwreader]

Wow!

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Lol Alcaraz answering my prayers

 

[Enceladus]

Wow, Alcaraz is beating Tsitsipas with hot shots on the start of this match!!

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Ah I’ll have to mute. Courier. Tsitsipas pronunciation.

 

[guga_fan]

Reminding me of the 6-0 set for Thiem against Nadal here. I don't think he will be able to keep this level of play, but it's already plenty impressive.

 

[ttwreader]

Best tennis of the day from Alcaraz.

 

[James P]

Mad Lad struggling a bit to close out this second set.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I feel confident Alcaraz will stay grounded with Fererro around

 

[TennisFan3]

Robocop....one of the greatest movies ever made.

Oh I've seen all the parts and love the movie. I just forgot the scene. Thanks.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Why is it hard to fathom? Alcaraz has been training his whole life to come out and do this. And it’s been done before by kids his age.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Mad lad closes out the 2nd set

 

[Enceladus]

Eurosport doesn't care about tennis anymore

Eurosport is pushing viewers to subscribe to the ES Player. I personally have an annual ES Player subscription with a 50% discount.

 

[Mark-Touch]

A little hiccup from Med.
All's good though.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

You won’t find Alcaraz daddy court side.

 

[TennisFan3]

Medvedev LUCKY to win set 2. Almost got broken on the last game. A lot of chinks in the world #2's armor.
However, he leads 6-0, 6-4.. Andujar to serve first in set 3.

 

[James P]

Medvedev LUCKY to win set 2. Almost got broken on the last game. A lot of chinks in the world #2's armor.

Yes, he almost lost the match there. Wow, very close call.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Alcaraz is here to STOMP

 

[Deleted member 771911]

There is something very satisfying about watching the real next gen beat whatever Seat-ciPaaas and friends are called

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Petchey in trouble here as Courier actually knows about tennis

 

[junior74]

Tsitsipas on with cheating already. It's been close to minute since the umpire called "time".

Should just get warnings for that nonsense. You drink and eat in the break, not when the umpire says time.

 

[James P]

Medvedev gets the third set break. Still watching on my laptop, but have to admit I'm transfixed by this Tsitsipas-Alcaraz match.

 

[junior74]

Tsitsipas is limping...

 

[Oval_Solid]

I’m happy with his success too. The discussion I was having is about the main draw WC being poorly used by the USTA. Sock is not going to rebuild his career starting at age 29 and he really didn’t do anything in singles even in his prime at USO to merit special treatment.

A minimum $75K check can fund a youthful talent a long way. Now, Sock got it and some of that cash winds up in the traitor Alex Bogomolov (his coach) bank account. If you’re not familiar with his story it’s a gem about the USTA getting fleeced by an immigrant talent coming here from Russia (a good thing), getting a spot in USTA player development (also good) and then after getting to top 40 (really good) he decided to go play for his native Russia (villainous thing) as a pro. Nice guy, no?

im not familiar with the story but how is this even an issue? if he isnt a citizen of a country (usa) how could he play for them even if he wanted to
for example if someone travel to spain to train at the nadal acadamy from another country then turn pro are they suppose to play for spain well no right they still play for their own country

 

[Enceladus]

Stef hit Djokosmash at Alcaraz's SP!!

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I think that set point sums it up.

 

[TennisFan3]

OMG OMG. What defense from Alcaraz on the stretch+Excellent defensive lob. Breaks Titspas and wins set 1. Amazing from the 18 yr old so far!

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Wow the hyperbole on my commentary

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Oh lord Evans a break up in set 4

 

[ttwreader]

Alcaraz broke Tsitsipas 3 times (and was broken 1) in set 1. Tsitsipas's 1st serve was not bad, 72% in.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Mto in the house!

 

[Mark-Touch]

Med is scary fast for a man of his size.
Just ran down two droppers no sweat.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Lol. Oh man Tstitsipas is going to get two real complexes if he loses this. One that his time already passed. Two that the crowd hate him.

 

[kevin qmto]

I know this is the singles thread, but there's no doubs thread. And I just have to say, Querrey/Johnson vs Arevalo/Middlekoop has the crowds more fired up than any other match I've seen so far. There's some bad blood brewing after some incidents involving readiness by the returners and the crowd is chanting USA after every point lol.

 

[ttwreader]

Alcaraz up a break right away 2nd set.

 

[kevin qmto]

And Johnson gives em a BEAN on match point to seal it LOL!

 

[James P]

Medvedev gets a double break lead in the third, serving for a 0, 4, and 2 scoreline next.

 

[Enceladus]

Tsitsipas-Alcaraz 3:6, 1:3

Alcaraz outsmarted Tsitsipas on the net thanks to great lob!

 

[Enceladus]

Wow, what a red hot shot from Alcaraz!!

 

[onyxrose81]

Med broken serving for the match.

 

[jhick]

And Johnson gives em a BEAN on match point to seal it LOL!

I'm watching the replay right now. Absolutely ridiculous call after Johnson served an ace and made him re-serve. I love Stevie's response to the chair "Just wait until I get aced the next time". And then goes on to ace him twice in a row!

 

[kevin qmto]

Med broken serving for the match.

a sacrifice that wont even faze him.
