Meanwhile Liam Hemsworth has finished Chuck Norris up @Sudacafan

Of course, he is 50 years younger.

 

[GhostOfNKDM]

What a way to finish the match. Thorough dismantling and statement match from Carlos.

Hope he keeps this up all the way!

 

[Winners or Errors]

Good old-fashioned beatdown. Carlitos needed this kind of match. On to the next round.

 

[bluetrain4]

Great performance. He just ground him down. It's not even Alcaraz's highest level. But, he stayed focused, worked through a few dicey moments and just kept the foot on the gas. We saw the "escape" matches players have to win to be champions in the last round, and now we're seeing the rather mundane workmanlike matches they need to win.

He prolly will once Nadal gets beaten this RG.

 

[Sudacafan]

Korda needs to develop his brain.

Any recommendations about how to do that?

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Wasn't confident going into this match after that incredible comeback against Vinolas and with their recent Monte Carlo meeting in mind as well. Pleasantly surprised which has been the case with Carlos quite a few times recently.

And the tournament as a whole is progressing well. Rafa looks alright so far, Novak is ready, as it stands Sascha and Carlos are doing their part too. The other half of the draw hasn't disappointed either. Very excited for the second week.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Whoa, what a beatdown! Juice Boy back to his usual devastating self.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Great job.

Lazy from Korda. Poor way to get broken.

This goose is officially cooked.

Little update. I haven't played the game since last time I spoke about it. I'm trying to get Coby White in as the other point guard. I'm not going after any of the superstar point guards because they will be looking for a superstar in return and that means either me or Davis. No way I can let that happen.

I miss the days of the memory cards. At least if the computer gm does mess up the trade then I could go back. Now there is no going back.

On the bright side, with Radek as his coach, Seb should have no trouble scoring chicks.

 

[Oval_Solid]

his english is already better than rafas

 

[zvelf]

I'm surprised by the deniers of Alcaraz's potential. Barring injury, he will win double digit majors in the current field.

 

[ibbi]

He should play worldle.

Sebi "the small cat slayer" then?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Alcaraz would not let him play.

 

[bluetrain4]

Time to realize people, Korda is just Walmart Zverev.

Lol. I prefer using "Great Value" (the Walmart store brand) when indicating lesser of the same thing. But same idea.

 

[Sudacafan]

Alcaraz will even have it easier than the Big Three, as there’s nobody at his level now except for the last few years of Djokodal, who will not play until 40.

 

[BeatlesFan]

This match sort of reminded me of the Fed-Roddick 2001-2003 rivalry, where Roddick won one match but was totally outclassed from Roger in all the other early contests. Alcaraz is almost 3 years younger than Korda, but clearly is the dominant presence on court and (at this point), by far the better player. Sebi has a lot to work on, hopefully Worm can help him with some of things he's clearly lacking.

Still inferior to Fernando Alonso's.

 

[TheNachoMan]

@Aabye5 your boy disappointed me, bud.

The first one is on the house. He'll have to earn the second.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Korda has a long way to go before he is eligible for the Walmart hall of fame.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Djokovic fan.

Hey, @Lleytonstation is a Fed fan. It’s a universal thing.

Have you ever seen Zverev in his prime?

 

[bluetrain4]

On the bright side, with Radek as his coach, Seb should have no trouble scoring chicks.

Ha. I'd think the opposite. With Radek on Seb's team, all the chicks will be drawn into Stepanek's orbit.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Have you ever seen Zverev in his prime?

I don’t think that exists.

 

[Aabye5]

@Aabye5 your boy disappointed me, bud.

Yes, he was so busy focusing on his forehand, that he forgot his bread-and-butter. Just wish he had stayed with him the 3rd.

Anyways, congrats Alcaraz fans.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

I don’t think that exists.

What about his display at WTF 2018, Tokyo Olympics, and WTF 2021?

 

[ibbi]

Ha. I'd think the opposite. With Radek on Seb's team, all the chicks will be drawn into Stepanek's orbit.

Good point!

How many double digit winners are there in Open Era

 

[Sudacafan]

Have you ever seen Zverev in his prime?

2017?

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

9 of us predicted Alcaraz in 3:

• arvind13
• AnOctorokForDinner
• Carax
• Vamos Rafa Nadal
• King BB
• Hupre
• RG GOD
• CannonBoom92
• JaxTeller

So incredibly happy!!!!!! Carlitos moves on to the round of 16! I really needed for him to have an easy win to day and he did! He didn't get broken at all too!

 

[Sudacafan]

his english is already better than rafas

That is not much to say.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

don't need him. we have @ACE of Hearts for that.

When did i say the word suck? He’s playing ok

 

[Technology Ruined Tennis]

Korda's doomed.

Fed never named any pets PETE.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Pretty pathetic showing from Korda when just a few days ago some mug takes Alcarez to the edge.. Don't be Roddick dude.

Would they be the recently deleted deliberate_something?

 

[zvelf]

How many double digit winners are there in Open Era

The full context of my statement is "he will win double digit majors in the current field." How often has the Open Era had the quality of the current field?

 

[FRV4]

Yo what's up guys. I'm looking to watch the Alcaraz Korda match, but I don't see it on the schedule anywhere. Every court says "play concluded". I'm getting kinda worried. I took the day off work for this.

The match ended several hours ago - Carlos won! Perhaps you can find a rebroadcast of it?

When did Roddick ever put up that kind of showing?

 

[Kralingen]

When did Roddick ever put up that kind of showing?

At the French? Never. I think he took 9 games off Monfils once. Lol.

Yeah, wasn't thinking about his record at the French. Oops.

Peak Roddick RG 2005 2R
Against José Acasuso. José what?

Same guy that troubled Federer in 09 RG

Yep, 2R. Del Potro troubled Fed too in SF.
Haas too, everyone, really.
Federer beat everybody coming across though.

Federer won though.

There is that other 09 match where Del Potro troubled Federer and Fed kept going to his FH
Or maybe he couldn't do better
At Us Open

Wonder what would happen if Del Po was a 2 slam winner that year
