2022 Wimbledon R32: [5] C. Alcaraz Garfia vs [32] O. Otte

[Mivic]

Let's be real Alcaraz actually looks dangerous here. Him and Djokovic look to be by far the best two players left in the draw currently.

 

[Krish0608]

One thing is for sure, Djokovic definitely has the tougher draw

 

[Kralingen]

No clue how Djokovic even takes a set against this level. Alcaraz turns points around with just one shot.

 

[zuluzazu]

It's true. His serve is the weakest part of his game, and that's lessened on clay, as is the generally aggressive way he likes to play.

LOL sorry. I was watching cricket simultaneously and thus wrote batting by mistake

 

[ojo rojo]

He really has got great feel Carlito. Rare to see from the youngsters. Lovely to watch

 

[Josh Lyman]

ESPN commentators discussing how many slams Alcarez might win was entertaining:
Darren Cahill: 6-12
James Blake: 9
Jason Goodall: Double digits
Cliff Drysdale: 20

 

[NeutralFan]

Lol already on that bandwagon after the nauseating hype . I just choose pain knowingly

I can't be his fan but tennis needs him to win some slams asap. Will be fun cheering against him and making new weak era thread

The trollfest in this thread got a few chuckles out of me NGL.

It's like a bunch of anti-strongrules running around all at once.

I love you too

Oscar Otte only lost to Berrettini (Stuttgart) and Medvedev (Halle) on grass this season, both times in the SF, he is actually a good grass player

 

[Krish0608]

Here’s what I feel about Alcaraz. I feel he’s at his best when nobody expects anything from him. He’s able to play free and cut loose. But when he’s one of the favorites, I feel the pressure gets to him. Of course the sample size is too small for me to make that claim, but the French Open brainfart was telling. However it’s great for tennis if the next ATG is truly upon us after decades of just seeing pretenders

 

[Mivic]

Otte is a mug though.

Many said this was the match Alcaraz would struggle in

Nope, it's actually Alcaraz who have been given toughest draw. Serve bots after serve bots then Djokovic and in final Nadal.

He will be under little pressure against Djoko given everyone has declared Djoko the winner of this tournament already

Alcaraz definitely has a much tougher draw. But I’m just comparing the Djokodal draws. Neither of them would want to have somebody like Alcaraz in their quarter.

 

[Kralingen]

Meanwhile he looks set to avoid big John next round. Carlos’ pigeon Sinner going 2-0 up.

Crash course guys. Djokovic Alcaraz. 3-0 Carlos.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Wow!!! How is this kid so so comfortable on grass. Looks like he was born to play on grass. He will surely win CYGS in the future when he does not have to contend with Djokodal and needs to deal with mugs

well he’s playing no ground game Otis

 

[NeutralFan]

Let's see if Alcaraz reaches there, he still has to face son John, he won't be easy.

Edit- it's Sinner mug likely to be his opponent.

The first two sets against Zverev were not good for his standards, the fourt set was great from both and credit for the German there, but Alcaraz paid the price for starting slow in that match

 

[prosperned]

Alcaraz cannot be rushed on. He always returns to your feet on attempted S&V. I don’t know how he does it.

He’s returning better than Djoko

 

[DariaGT]

Oscar Otter both smelly creatures now this guy is like these 2 in 1.

When Zverev serves like he served that day there is literally nobody on the tour that can handle him. You're talking about someone who beat Nadal, rolled back out the next day and beat Djokovic in 3 tight sets, and then went out the next day and destroyed Zverev, and he did this all in an arena full of people chanting his name as champion of both Miami and Barcelona. There is literally nothing to suggest occasion gets to him.

I think he will learn a lot from that FO disaster and be better prepared to manage himself in such situations. He beat himself that day.

 

[Deleted member 792641]

@Kralingen and @prosperned the best duo since the Bryan Brothers

 

[prosperned]

I can’t believe how easy it is for Alcaraz to create offence on a deep central ball.

 

[Krish0608]

I still think Novak’s big match experience might prove to be decisive. Will definitely be a banger of a match.

 

[ojo rojo]

Crash course guys. Djokovic Alcaraz. 3-0 Carlos.

It's the match we all want to see. Not necessarily the score tho. Some of us want to see the good tennis

Even better.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Hope we get djokovic vs alcaraz. I worry about alcaraz laying an egg against sinner.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Alcaraz is playing incredible tennis

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

How well is Sinner playing on grass? I'd say he has no chance against Carlos but maybe I am underrating him

 

[ojo rojo]

I've never seen anything like it

Honestly I will just be blessed to see the match. People are only now jumping on the bandwagon after saying tiny Carlitos can’t serve and has no chance on grass. They should’ve started paying attention earlier when he was serving an average 125mps and 30 aces in his first round.

We’re going to be in for some amazing rallies and shot making in a Djoko vs Alcaraz match. Can’t wait to see how Djoko fares against his first tough grass opponent in 3 years

 

[ibbi]

Hope we get djokovic vs alcaraz. I worry about alcaraz laying an egg against sinner.

They had a really good match in Bercy last year. It should be a hell of a rivalry going forward, and it'll be pretty cool if we get the first major chapter of it here. Think Carlito will have more to throw at Sinner than Isner does though.

 

[NeutralFan]

Hope we get djokovic vs alcaraz. I worry about alcaraz laying an egg against sinner.

Don't make me laugh, i lost whatever lil respect i had for Sinner when he was crushed brutally against Tsitispas at AO. Sinner is very definition of mug.

 

[NatF]

Let's be real Alcaraz actually looks dangerous here. Him and Djokovic look to be by far the best two players left in the draw currently.

And both as far away from Nadal as possible.

 

[Genious at Work]

Alcaraz is playing so good it's hard to even say what his best surface is anymore. What a beast.

 

[Kralingen]

Carlos is a day over 19 and he's treating one of the top grass courters like a qualifier

a casual breadstick capped with a massive 130mph ace. not even broken a sweat.

this kid is so good. Novak has ZERO chance.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Baelos to carve Djokovic up like 1993 Razor Ramon

 

[Deleted member 765728]

Tio >>>>>> Srdjan.

 

[prosperned]

Puff two sets done less than an hour. What a joke

 

[ibbi]

They should’ve started paying attention earlier when he was serving an average 125mps and 30 aces in his first round.

His average was 120mph, not 125, that's a big difference, and even at 120mph average, and with 30 aces, he almost lost the god damn match to a broken down old shell of a man. Do you not see how ridiculously over the top you are being?

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

If Carlos looked in my eyes and smiled at me, I dunno what I would do

 

[Genious at Work]

And both as far away from Nadal as possible.

@vive le beau jeu ! for his Godfaker poster.

 

[Krish0608]

That’s one of the best sets you’ll ever see from anybody. Hats off Alcaraz!

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Well he can’t do any worse than otte LOL. This dude is terrible

125 down the T! Good enough for me.

 

[MichaelNadal]

I know what id do

 

[NatF]

Can Alcaraz save tennis? He's giving me a glimmer of hope.
