Did it extend into Paul’s shot? That’s the only thing that would cause a hindrance call. Grunting differently on different shots is 100% within the rules.That’s just cheating from Alcaraz. You either make your ridiculous noise/grunt on every shot or you don’t do it at all. You can’t just do it randomly mid rally. That’s what got Djokovic the hindrance violation at Wimbledon.
Prediction may still be correct ... Although I admit Paul is causing more trouble to Alcaraz than I expected. Let's hope Carlos finds his groove in this third set!Alcaraz in 3 if he's still finding his feet in Toronto, in straights if he is starting to feel more comfortable.
It's time for Carlos to find his groove, with Sinner and Medvedev likely to come in SF and F. Maybe this is the match where he will?
I just started watching again, and I've already seen Carlos on his a** twice. Better be more careful, one bad fall and you're out for weeks.
Really amazing!I haven't watched Paul play much before. How is he not a top 10 player? Amazing ground game.
he's a top 20 player and rising. Contrary to popular (ttw) belief, the world's top tennis players are pretty good - even those without 20 slams.I haven't watched Paul play much before. How is he not a top 10 player? Amazing ground game.

He's striking the ball better than players like Tsitsipas, Medvedev etc. I'm not seeing any obvious weakness.he's a top 20 player and rising. Contrary to popular (ttw) belief, the world's top tennis players are pretty good - even those without 20 slams.
Plus he's got the best racket twirl out of the top 50 at least.He's striking the ball better than players like Tsitsipas, Medvedev etc. I'm not seeing any obvious weakness.
Lol. It’s true, though! I’m gobsmacked!Tommy Paul making United States tennis great again
matches up well with the ratz - we knew that from last year.He's striking the ball better than players like Tsitsipas, Medvedev etc. I'm not seeing any obvious weakness.
He did!! Well played, Tommy. I've never seen him play as well as he did tonight.Now the big question: can Paul hold serve two more times?
One for each of his four personas: Tommy, Johnny, Bobby and Paul.The only thing more impressive than Tommy Paul's game is his roster of women. Looking like he can field an All Star team like Derek Jeter
