2022 Roland Garros QF: [3] Alexander Zverev vs Carlos Alcaraz [6]

[Stratotanker]

Dark day for tennis. Ugh. Z is just terrible for the sport.

 

[JaxTeller]

Zverev's BH is an all time great BH.. there should be no doubt about it..

 

[Sudacafan]

Christ zverev is a mental midget.

Lucky mental midget.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Zverev been disrespected and like to see him stick it to his haters and the crowd!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Once again, never compare Tiny Carl to 05 RAFA ever again, or you go straight to TTW jail.

I'd rather go to horny jail.

 

[MeatTornado]

Alcaraz lost this, but he is murdering the tour by next year. This is an out right big 3 level player. No false alarms this time.

That very much remains to be seen

 

[UnforcedTerror]

Vamoooooooooooooos!!

Beautiful scenes

 

[zvelf]

Incredible tiebreaker. Zverev conquers his demons and wins!

 

[Cantconvert2MP]

Chainz beating all odds

Zordon prevail again

 

[TennisFan3]

Novak will THRASH this Zverev in the SF.

 

[Federev]

Once again, never compare Tiny Carl to 05 RAFA ever again, or you go straight to TTW jail.

Yes and yes and yes

 

[ttwreader]

Good for Zed, first time ever beats a top 10 opponent at a major.

 

[NatF]

Zverev showed a lot of maturity there. Fair play to him. He's still a plonker though.

No one left to root for that has a realistic chance of winning now

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Extra motivation in the second match for both guys considering they know zverev’s game all too well.

 

[junior74]

Young Tennis Messiah off to prepare for Wimbledon

 

[Rattie]

Zverev only won because Carlos was rubbish for two sets.

 

[Hamnavoe]

Zzzzz. I've seen this script a million times before. The ATP need better writers.

What a mug.

Super performance from the genetic freak. Astonishing hitting off the backhand side.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Typical Zedrot, breaks and then immediately gets broken back serving for the match. Tell me we aren’t watching crap tennis @Lleytonstation

We are.

 

[Sudacafan]

That was clutch by Zverev. Fair play to him.

Alcaraz normal self wouldn’t have allowed it, but Z had his merits always.

 

[MeatTornado]

Relationship over with Zed Top 10 win memes

Zed Top 5 wins are my new best friend

 

[DSH]

Zverev's best win over best of 5 sets, I think. And he finally beats a top 10 player in a major.

We will see Zverev without chains now, who can stop him?

 

[ArcspacE]

Novak will THRASH this Zverev in the SF.

Possibly a bagel too

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Suree. Happy for Djokovic if he wins against Nadal and has to face Zverev and not Alcaraz

Zverev will a very tough opponent for Djokovic or Nadal. I just prefer Zverev to win and sick of the alcaraz love in.

 

[D.Nalby12]

First top 10 win in Slams for Zverev. He really earned it. He was better player overall but it's Carlos' fighting spirit kept match going for long.

 

[killerboss]

Nothing funnier than watching best of 3 set specialists trying to play best of 5. Commentary was disappointing I thought. Come on Tim, you need to do better next match.

 

[mike danny]

The Alcaraz hype needs to die. Bad loss.

 

[zuluzazu]

Novak will THRASH this Zverev in the SF.

LOL Novak to win his first slam without losing a set

 

[wangs78]

Nice to see Zverev play to his potential today!

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Damn what a BH winner, got to congrat Zverev here, great fourth set

 

[Bubcay]

Congratulations to Zverev on his first ever top 10 win. Gotta hand it to Alcaraz , so positive, never surrender attitude...

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Zverev showed a lot of maturity there. Fair play to him. He's still a plonker though.

No one left to root for that has a realistic chance of winning now

I wished carlitos had played better from the start. Frankly he didn’t deserve this match. Z was just better than him today.

 

[junior74]

Like him or not - that was a special performance by Zed!

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Bare in mind if Zverev does the unthinkable and wins the French Open he will become world number 1.

Alcaraz is the real deal and I'm happy that we have a superstar on our hands.

 

[ForehandCross]

What that’s??? Alcaraz is taking over? Take that! Really happy for Zverev!!!

He is, this was my first time watching him, and I can bet everything I have he is dominating the tour in few months time. If he had he not mugged around in first couple of sets, this would be an easy win for him.

 

[Nostradamus]

Zverev will a very tough opponent for Djokovic or Nadal. I just prefer Zverev to win and sick of the alcaraz love in.

lol, he will just choke against Rafa or novak.

 

[The Guru]

Unbelievable level in the 4th. TB was amazing. Thought Carlos had it at 6-5. Now it falls to the old legends to save tennis.

 

[The Blond Blur]

Zverev showed a lot of maturity there. Fair play to him. He's still a plonker though.

No one left to root for that has a realistic chance of winning now

 

[Nadal15thslam]

The Alcaraz hype needs to die. Bad loss.

He only lost beacause he started the match bad and found his level too late.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Finally Zverev's balls don't shrink. Congrats Alcarez. You broke the streak

 

[I Am Finnish]

 

[ChaelAZ]

About time for Zverev. to get a decent win. He needed this to prove a point, especially being eclipsed so quickly by the young newcomer, and Alcz wasn't up to usual snuff.

Bummer, but another deep run to solidfy Alcz as a real deal. More to come for sure.

Zverev will mug it up next round though.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Novak will THRASH this Zverev in the SF.

You gonna jinx your guy.

 

[ForehandCross]

That very much remains to be seen

In terms of level, not in terms of greatness.

 

[ibbi]

Once again, never compare Tiny Carl to 05 RAFA ever again, or you go straight to TTW jail.

Hey, he did better than this:

 

[BlueB]

Wow! What a match!
When it looked that Z would win in straights, I was ready to say something stupid, like: "takes out Alcatrash", but the boy had fight in him.
Well done Goldy, you've got monkey of your back. First slam top 10 victory, I guess?

 

[canta_Brian]

Now its over , we either have 21 or 22 cuz zverev folds like a cheap suit in the finals

Um, if Zverev makes the final no 21 or 22

[Sudacafan]

Alcaraz was not as clutch as normal. Just was Z needed.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Zverev needs to his up his level against Nole. Nole isn't gonna get himself in a 2 set hole

 

[ACE of Hearts]

About time for Zverev. to get a decent win. He needed this to prove a point, especially being eclipsed so quickly by the young newcomer, and Alcz wasn't up to usual snuff.

Bummer, but another deep run to solidfy Alcz as a real deal. More to come for sure.

Zverev will mug it up next round though.

Novak and Nadal know zverev’s game all too well. Better returners than carlitos at the moment.
