[Deleted member 762343]

I doubt my takes are even as extreme as @StrongRule and @TennisFan3. But as a new user here you better pay respect a bit to @ACE of Hearts, one of the veterans of TTW.

Carlos should have already broken this game.

@Lleytonstation

Tiny Carlos is SLAYING, as always

I had a massive tapestry in my first apartment that was basically this season's Adidas shirt in tapestry form.

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

Sebi has no plan B at all. You just can't keep going for broke every time like that lol

He hits too flat oof that FH wing. No variation there. Also looks a step or two too slow to keep pace with Alcaraz

 

[arvind13]

Carlos should have already broken this game.

especially since kodra isn't serving like pete sampras

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I doff my cap to Korda. ''He had to be that good to hold'' And he was. So praise be.

 

[Sudacafan]

Good hold for Korda.
Alvarez will serve for the second set. In my opinion, successfully.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I'm like Skip. I ain't a fanboy. I call what I see.

 

[bluetrain4]

Good hold. I think Alcaraz will hold, but at least Seb can serve first in the third set. Plus, you never know.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Great hold from Sebi.

 

[Kralingen]

While that was strong from Korda, it is quite telling that the biggest moments from him this match have been saving himself from going down a double break. lol.

Like I said. Match is NID.

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

Korda will save himself getting breadsticked. That might be the extent of his achievement here today.

smh

 

[Sudacafan]

Any volunteers here to watch the Khachanov-Norrie match? I feel pity for the lack of attention to that match.

Like I said I doubt Sebi could break Carlitos if this keeps going... and he has had only one BP so far lol

 

[Poisoned Slice]

But yeah, delaying the inevitable. Might have been annoyed earlier because I want to watch Obi-Wan tonight. The match has been entertaining enough. Tennis is back.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

The people who created this Adidas's shirt should give to me everything in their bank accounts, I don't create anything but so at least I didn't create this crap

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

Anyone else watching this on tennis channel and seeing the infuriating ads in the middle of the game??

Argggh

 

[bluetrain4]

Margin, Seb. Margin.

You mean Chuck Norris vs Liam Hemsworth?

 

[Sudacafan]

Alvarez might not be Pete Sampras, but he has some s&v.

 

[arvind13]

Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 6-4

 

[Rosstour]

I am beginning to see it with Sebi. He has a really easy groundstroke motion, the beginnings of what could end up being a high level serve, the athleticism and the languid but clean style.

I have underestimated him.

"languid" is the word I would use. I enjoy watching him

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

Margin, Seb. Margin.

Should've become a golfer like his sisters

 

[Sambuccashake]

S&V on clay?

 

[Jonesy]

How did Korda managed to beat Alcaraz before? Guy looks to be just a servebot.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Serve and volley from Carlitos!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Saved all those break points and then gives away the set like that. Wow. I take back my previous doff.

 

[bluetrain4]

While few players regularly serve and volley like the old days - there seems to be better volleys, net play, forecourt play overall than just a few years ago. Or not?

 

[Deleted member 762343]

ARV, you had one job.

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

"languid" is the word I would use. I enjoy watching him

I'm not enjoying watching him today

 

[Sudacafan]

You mean Chuck Norris vs Liam Hemsworth?

Thanks for introducing me to that Hemsworth. Only knew about Norris because of my age bracket.

The British bettor probably went all in on Sir Cameron, so I guess he's watching

 

[Sudacafan]

Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 6-4

As expected.

 

[dapchai]

Pts won so far: 62 from Sebi vs 68 from Carlitos, but returning pts won: 16 from Sebi vs 26 from Carlos (lol)

 

[BeatlesFan]

You have people in the thread saying Korda will be an RG champion in the future. I sure don't see it. I like him, but I am not that impressed with his movement or mentality.

 

[Sudacafan]

Yes, together with his beloved penguins.

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

Good hold for Korda.
Alvarez will serve for the second set. In my opinion, successfully.

Alvarez sounds more distinguished

 

[Sudacafan]

Alvarez sounds more distinguished

I don’t know. There are millions of them.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Poor Tweener attempt, he had enough time to hit that legit.

 

[bluetrain4]

Carlos could have won those two sets by bigger margins, but still workmanlike. Flip side, Seb made some bad errors at bad times.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I don’t know. There are millions of them.

Man Utd are linked with Alvarez.

Oh great, which one?

 

[stringertom]

Where are the Carlos's haters now??

In their parents’ basements recharging their hater batteries. Careful with those lithium ion knockoff brands that blow up and start nasty fires.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Carlos now 2/12 on BP's, Federer-like numbers.

 

[-NN-]

Set 2 didn't feel particularly close when you consider its narrative but in points it was only 37-35 to Carlitos.

 

[bluetrain4]

Here's a chance

 

[ark_28]

Korda isn’t playing bad just a poor game in each set has cost him if he can get up an early break this set then this match could still have mileage

 

[dapchai]

Set 2 didn't feel particularly close when you consider its narrative but in points it was only 37-35 to Carlitos.

But he won much more returning pts than Sebi I think.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Let's go Korda. Have to take the chance.

Nope.
