2022 Roland Garros R2: [6] Alcarez vs. A. Ramos Viñolas

[bluetrain4]

ARV needed to guard the line. I don't think we're done yet with the ups and downs. What's the FO fifth set now - 10 point TB?

 

[ojo rojo]

Charlie's got serious wheels wow

 

[spottishwood]

Bamos!!!!!!!

 

[NeutralFan]

His lob on the line was equally ridiculous

 

[ArcspacE]

Clap for this man

shock horror you jumping the fanboi wagon again

 

[The Guru]

That was crazy. That's why he's next up only young guy to come up with Big3 level athleticism.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Ramos is such a mug


- Nadal, Egg, Z and Tsitsipas

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Back o

He will destroy Nadal again and send him into ‘injury mode’

Lol ok. You gonna jinx your own guy.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Epic match! Credit to both of them.

 

[Third Serve]

Back o


Lol ok. You gonna jinx your own guy.

his guy is Dimitrov, I’m afraid he doesn’t need jinxing to lose

 

[ArcspacE]

ARV is moonballing like it’s 2011

 

[iopzzza]

I have a feeling Carlos will turn this one.

 

[flyingboris]

haha yeah, @Kralingen is a fool, don't know why you guys take him seriously... lol... (seriously i'm not watching what is going on)

I'm thinking "that's kind of harsh", until I saw who posted it

 

[ArcspacE]

Back o


Lol ok. You gonna jinx your own guy.

Revere jinx ftw

 

[NeutralFan]

Nadal haters and fanbois please don't spoil this match thread lol

 

[The Fedfather]

Brutality and then that soft touch. Beautiful

 

[ojo rojo]

Why does ARV's face reminds me a turtle ?

He also looks a little bit like a baby flamingo

Tiny Charles will steam roll the baby pelican man now

Lulz

 

[Martin J]

This guy was meant to beat Djok in the semi

LOLLOLLLOLOLOL

It's a different match-up, though. Vinolas did choke, but prior to that he was cleaning the lines. Djokovic doesn't really play like that, certainly not on clay. Plus that lefty slice serve.

 

[The Guru]

What a match

 

[mike danny]

Defend like Nadal, hit your BH like Djokovic, attack the net and hit your FH like Fed. That's the strategy. It's so simple.

 

[bluetrain4]

Alacaraz going full Sinner after winning that game.

 

[ArcspacE]

It's a different match-up, though. Vinolas did choke, but prior to that he was cleaning the lines. Djokovic doesn't really play like that, certainly not on clay. Plus that lefty slice serve.

I still expect Alcaraz to have handled him in 4 at most

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alcaraz needs to take advantage here.

 

[onyxrose81]

Here comes the choke from ARV.

 

[ArcspacE]

Nadal haters and fanbois please don't spoil this match thread lol

I like Alcaraz

 

[Kralingen]

Funeral procession back on it seems. 0-40.

 

[-NN-]

That was crazy. That's why he's next up only young guy to come up with Big3 level athleticism.

Very impressive athlete, yes. He ain't no fake elite athlete like Dimitrov (lol - this guy was never a top level pure athlete).

 

[kishnabe]

Break him now.

 

[mike danny]

I still expect Alcaraz to have handled him in 4 at most

Dimi taking out the mugs though.

 

[I Am Finnish]

He is done

 

[MichaelNadal]

Now that is almost peak Nadal level of defense.

@MichaelNadal

One day we will watch epic tennis, eat epic food and watch epic YouTube videos

 

[Martin J]

I still expect Alcaraz to have handled him in 4 at most

Yeah, most of us expected that. Who knows, maybe such matches, where he had to dig as deep as it gets, help this young man in the future. Would love to see him play either Djokovic or Nadal here.

 

[ArcspacE]

Dimi taking out the mugs though.

Diego S next - already served him a brutal Bagel in Madrid

 

[Kralingen]

It's a different match-up, though. Vinolas did choke, but prior to that he was cleaning the lines. Djokovic doesn't really play like that, certainly not on clay. Plus that lefty slice serve.

If he ends up winning this I can’t wait for another week of explaining to idiots why being MP down to a lefty clay court grinder with a filthy slice serve doesn’t actually mean much for a potential SF.

 

[ArcspacE]

He is done

Stick a fork in him

 

[mike danny]

Very impressive athlete, yes. He ain't no fake elite athlete like Dimitrov (lol - this guy was never a top level pure athlete).

He still had the right combo of shotmaking and athleticism to be a consistent top player. Deserved it more than Nishikori and Raonic.

Haha, good one!

Don't come spreading your common sense in here, where the hell do you think you are?

 

[Third Serve]

This has been a patchy match for Carlos but I do have to admire his grit. I haven’t seen any nextgenner from the last 10 or so years with the kind of never-let-up attitude he has.

 

[killerboss]

Dimi taking out the mugs though.

Goes to show why you shouldn't get too excited about early round perfomances lol you know that mug has no chance to win the whole thing.

 

[tennis_pro]

I thought that was in, absolute corner

 

[mike danny]

One day we will watch epic tennis, eat epic food and watch epic YouTube videos

A shame we're on different continents

During the day we'd watch tennis and then play some Mario or something

 

[-NN-]

Dunno about deserved, that's a strange word to use. But I agree he had the tools to be a consistent top player, though it never quite happened like most imagined it would.

 

[iopzzza]

With this in and on's from Alcaraz he will lose to Rafa/Novak. They are not Ramos Vinollas.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Mario lol

 

[mike danny]

Diego S next - already served him a brutal Bagel in Madrid

Hopefully he takes him out. Has much more game than Diego.

 

[The Fedfather]

Damn, I really feel for ARV here. But maybe it's not over yet. He certainly has nothing to lose now

 

[D.Nalby12]

I repeat - Alcaraz is very tough nut to crack. Not just he came back from 0-3 down in decider - he also managed to break again.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Baecaraz in 5, he just wanted to give the haters hope

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alcaraz got this now. Gotta hold though.
