2022 Wimbledon R16: [5] C. Alcaraz Garfia vs [10] J. Sinner

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Has either of these guys been on Centre Court before?

I don’t think so and it shows.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alcaraz looks like he’s playing fast.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Carlitos off his game thus far. Needs a reset and soon.

 

[RF-18]

Djokovic fans hoping for that W/O Djokovic-Sinner match that we all know will last 0 minutes...

I'm not hoping for anything. Both of these guys are good players.

 

[Genious at Work]

Completely disappointed. Hopefully Carlos can shape up. His serve not great, and it looks like he is having trouble keeping the ball above the net when returning Sinner's flat balls.

 

[TennisFan3]

Yeah I like alcaraz. However, the over hyping is laughable. The guy hasn’t proved anything yet haha.

He can't hit 4 shots in the court. Just spraying all over the court. Some of the forehands he is trying are LAUGHABLE.
Any steady player will beat him Especially over 5 sets.
Zverev did that at the French Open. Novak/Sinner will do it this Wimbledon.

 

[InsideOut900]

I feel like Alcaraz goes too big on his first serve. He has a bit of a braindead ball basher type approach on that shot. That's one part of his game that could potentially desert him when he's feeling the pressure on the big stage. I think he should sacrifice a few mphs for a greater first serve percentage and better placement. A guy his height ain't gonna be bombing in 135 mph first serves with a high enough level of consistency at the top level.

You can if you are Roddick.

 

[>17]

Naw man i think alcaraz has more talent than sinner. Sinner would lay an egg against novak.

djoel would embarrass alcaraz on grass

sinner could maybe win a set at least

 

[ibbi]

I wonder how many of those HOW IS DJOKOVIC GOING TO BEAT ALCARAZ people are watching Sinner toy with Alcaraz's serve right now?

 

[NoleFam]

First time for Carlos. Not sure about Sinner.

I don’t think so and it shows.

Yea Carlos seems a little unsettled. It's not bothering Sinner though. Lol

 

[prosperned]

I wonder how many of those HOW IS DJOKOVIC GOING TO BEAT ALCARAZ people are watching Sinner toy with Alcaraz's serve right now?

It’s been less than 20 minutes!

 

[RF-18]

I wonder how many of those HOW IS DJOKOVIC GOING TO BEAT ALCARAZ people are watching Sinner toy with Alcaraz's serve right now?

You have to say, he is returning those serves like Djokogassi.

[ojo rojo]

If this carries on too long there's going to be some seriously eggy faces around here

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Pathetic set by alcaraz.

 

[TennisFan3]

LOL - this is BLOWOUT. PATHETIC from Alcaraz.

Where is @Kralingen - he said Novak has no chance vs Alcaraz. LOL.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alcaraz looks like he’s playing fast . Too many mistakes.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Alcaraz almost lost to Struff, I am not worried yet

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Keep switching matches here on the coverage......argh. Mr. Sinner taking an early lead in the first set - has to stay ahead, IMO.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

LOL - this is BLOWOUT. PATHETIC from Alcaraz.

Where is @Kralingen - he said Novak has no chance vs Alcaraz. LOL.

It’s one set clown

 

[NoleFam]

This set's over. Carlos needs a bathroom break. Take a walk and reset.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

If this carries on too long there's going to be some seriously eggy faces around here

 

[zuluzazu]

LOL a walkover will hurt Djokovic more than Sinner in the QF. Who said slams do not have byes. QF will be a bye

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

LOL - this is BLOWOUT. PATHETIC from Alcaraz.

Where is @Kralingen - he said Novak has no chance vs Alcaraz. LOL.

He’s certainly gone quiet. Don’t worry he will come out his shell if Alcatraz fights back. Either that or start hyping Sinner or Nadal to hammer Djokovic haha

 

[ACE of Hearts]

djoel would embarrass alcaraz on grass

sinner could maybe win a set at least

Lol sinner would get destroyed by novak.

 

[prosperned]

Unfortunately nerves are getting Alcaraz. He’s been rattled by Sinner’s returning and CC.

He will raise his level but it might be too late with the way Sinner is running through this match

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

LOL a walkover will hurt Djokovic more than Sinner in the QF. Who said slams do not have byes. QF will be a bye

That’s a bit harsh on sinner. He’s playing very well. He won’t be easy for Novak at all if the match happens

 

[TennisFan3]

TTW is full of OVERREACTIONS. Alcaraz is supposed to be an ATG. A 20+ SLAM WINNER.

Dude - hasn't made beyond the QF. He is getting dominated by a player like Sinner. Lots of folks said Alcaraz is FAVORITE vs Novak. LOL.

Tiny Carlos has a LOT to learn. He has talent and the tools, but he is NOT steady and doesn't make the right decisions at all. We don't even know if he will EVER win a slam.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alcaraz almost lost to Struff, I am not worried yet

Alcaraz is playing too fast. He needs to settle down. Is he slicing the ball at all? Give him something different.

 

[Genious at Work]

This is awful. Wow.

 

[dapchai]

That’s a bit harsh on sinner. He’s playing very well. He won’t be easy for Novak at all if the match happens

Djoko will eat him for breakfast, lunch and dinner should they meet in the QF.

 

[ibbi]

It’s been less than 20 minutes!

Well, I didn't say it's game, set and match, just that he does, in fact, have a serve you can attack.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

That’s a bit harsh on sinner. He’s playing very well. He won’t be easy for Novak at all if the match happens

He would lay an egg against novak. Trust me.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

TTW is full of OVERREACTIONS. Alcaraz is supposed to be an ATG. A 20+ SLAM WINNER.

Dude - hasn't made beyond the QF. He is getting MAULED by a MUG like Sinner. Lots of folks said Alcaraz is FAVORITE vs Novak. LOL.

Tiny Carlos has a LOT to learn. He has talent and the tools, but he is NOT steady and doesn't make the right decisions at all. We don't even know if he will EVER win a slam.

YOU, talking about OVERREACTION ?
Give me a BREAK

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

“Best young player in 20 years” blah blah BS. Most overrated for sure. Hewitt was better than this dude

 

[ojo rojo]

Incoming?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

“Best young player in 20 years” blah blah BS. Most overrated for sure. Hewitt was better than this dude

 

[TennisFan3]

Errors, Errors and MORE errors from Alcaraz. His forehand is totally spraying all over the court. Gets BREASTICKED. Humiliating.

 

[Tennfan123]

Who had Sinner taking the first set 6-1?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

“Best young player in 20 years” blah blah BS. Most overrated for sure. Hewitt was better than this dude

He’s 19 you clown lol

 

[dapchai]

Receiving pts won so far: Sinner 9, Alcaraz 8. And the latter managed to get broken twice in a row...

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

He would lay an egg against novak. Trust me.

On this evidence he looks more likely to challenge Novak than young alcaraz. Sinner is serving well and adapted to centre court well. Still time for alcaraz to find his game.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

I expect alcaraz to settle down and start to play better.

 

[Mivic]

You can if you are Roddick.

Roddick had an incredibly lively arm (like a once in a generation type situation) so bombing down big serves without sacrificing accuracy looked like it came very naturally to him whereas Alcaraz always looks like he's over reaching without a great deal of regard for precision on that shot. Pretty sure Roddick also had a good few inches on Alcaraz. I don't think Alcaraz has the type of physical attributes required to reproduce that that level of serving anywhere near consistently enough at elite level.

 

[NoleFam]

I've been hard on Sinner but he looks like a future Wimbledon winner out there right now. High level stuff.

 

[prosperned]

That was embarrassing from Alcaraz at 30-30.

He got back into the rally miraculously and has Sinner under pressure but tries a winner from nowhere.

This is the difference between the Djoko/Nadal’s off this world. You have to stay in that rally as your opponent is visibly under pressure. Just keep pushing and you’ll get the error. But he’s too aggressive

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Didn't see that coming 6-1 first set Sinner.....Carlos Alcaraz just needs to reset and sin no more.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Sinner is looking good and will lose in 4 or 5

 

[TennisFan3]

He’s 19 you clown lol

That's what you can resort to. Calling Names and insulting other TTW posters.
Please keep the discussion on Tennis. Stop with these innuendo and insults.

Yes - Carlos is 19. He will get better and may win a lot of slams. But right now, we don't know that, and people say he is ATG or favorite vs Novak - have NO BASIS.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

It helps the opponent when your opponent is laying an egg. Alcaraz is laying an egg here.
