2023 Miami Open masters 1000 R32 :- Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (Spain) v/s Dusan Lajovic (Serbia)

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

LOL. Well lajovic is doing better than Medvedev

 

[Rattie]

And suddenly Carlos starts spraying errors for no apparent reason

 

[Federev]

And suddenly Carlos starts spraying errors for no apparent reason

What in the world?

Did his drinking buddy place a bet on a certain score?

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Can Lajovic take it to a third?

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

Can Lajovic take it to a third?

Imagine if Lajovic pulls off an epic comeback and wins the match.

 

[Federev]

Carlos literally making Lajovic look like a club player.

Carlos suddenly making Carlos look like a club player.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Wow. Carlos got some bad debts in Vegas or something? LOL

 

[MeatTornado]

Took an hour and 15 minutes, but we finally got a match on our hands.

 

[Sudacafan]

Alcaraz did not close the match yet because we thought it was finished.

I don’t know if I should be glad.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Carlos going full blown Zverev US open mode here this set

 

[Federev]

Alcaraz did not close the match yet because we thought it was finished.

Alacaraz feeling all the pressure from Jim Courier’s fawning.

 

[Legend of Borg]

He got broken but it still feels like the outcome of the match is on his racket.

 

[Slicehand]

He has had tons of UEs just this set.

Have you heard of the winners/errors ratio? Thats what you have to look at, besides, you cant extrapolate his unforced against one player to predict his outcome against a different player, doesnt work like that

 

[Kralingen]

This is a carbon copy of their Rio match

Yes when you go for winners left and right you miss more than usual. But against someone like Novak on hard and grass one break could be lethal.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Carlos has to play way better than this if he wants at to win this title. He was let off the hook this match with those dumbo errors

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Carlos has to play way better than this if he wants at to win this title. He was let off the hook this match with those dumbo errors

He will raise his level like he did in Indian wells!

Sinner needs to start serving like a man and blow this Spanish, grunting mouth breather off the court

 

[Slicehand]

not everyone plays super high percentage, if you want him to have the same errors in average than nadal and novak, thats not his style of play, for a 19 year old i think its not bad, he has beaten rafa and djoker before, he can do it, its just normal that after winning a set 6-0 you disconect a little, if he just played like the first set everytime without missing, there shouldnt even be tournaments, just give him all the trophies, theres no contest

 

[Sephiroth]

When you're starting to dismantle opponents with bagels it's a clear sign of all-time great, superstar quality.

Bro is only 19 still lmao

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

seriously? THIS match got a thread?

If he keeps winning the big points, the points where everyone usually gets tight, then there's an x factor. That's a talent only the greats are seemingly born with.
He needs to play nadal and Djokovic more to have more exposure and adapt to their games. Otherwise if he just faces them in slams, it may work in the old 2s favor and continue their dominance at slams.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Alcaraz keeps winning and winning. There is good chance he will prove better than any OF big 3s when you compare them at same age.

 

[Picmun]

Alcaraz keeps winning and winning. There is good chance he will prove better than any OF big 3s when you compare them at same age.

Ridiculous TTW hype comment. Yes he can play, but there's nothing to say he won't be another Thiem, Dimitrov or any two a penny latest TTW " gonna win 400 Slams " Fan Boy heart throb.
To say he's better than Fedalovic at any age is utterly ridiculous subjective BS.
Djoke or Nadal or any other capable player may well wipe the floor with him as Murray already did.
Surely if Andy can beat him so easily he must be Rubbish no ?

Lets see Alcaraz win more than 3 slams etc. before we start talking tripe.

Carlos was barely 18 years old when he played Murray at IW.

He is now the world #1, YE #1, and a Slam winner. That's a damn sight better than Thiem or Dimitrov ever did.

At only 19 years old he is doing unprecedented things.

Yes yes he's the greatest of all time - blah blah - LOL !
And you profess to know something about tennis!
He might be the Goat, he might win 40 slams - He also might just as likely be the next one slam wonder.
Even you don't know either way. But TTW hype merchants never seem to care about eggie faces.

Murray beat Alcaras with a Metal hip - That's unprecedented too ! And No, Fedalovic have NEVER EVER done anything like that !

Your arguments are specious, Becker won Wimbledon at 17 now very sadly he's in Jail. Predict that smart ass !
Boris is out know, but I think you might get my point.

Let see shall we, before we anoint the undoubtedly talented Teen - Let's hope he's not talented like Dimitrov/ Raoinc/Nishikory etc etc etc shall we ? All tipped as multi slammers in their "time" ( When did any of these "greats" have a time ?? )
Or will you tell me in the midst of the TTW hyper frenzy that surrounded Dim that you saw him as the journeyman he is ??

I miss the great @Nuclearwarheadsinner and the later @Nuclearwarhead. Funny guy, but he saw early on that the
undoubtedly talented Sinner would always also just be an also ran. And admitted as much in a splendid meltdown !
He was fuuny !
The esteemed @Meles greatly missed poaster of TWW predicted great things for Thiem, sadly it seems the German has been robbed by injury.

Alcaraz is just the latest in long line of TTW hype boys, he's not the first and he won't be last - I don't expect a Fedal like career from him. Although who knows - Not you certainly.

Hype is fine but often nonsensical.
Come back to me when he's plus 10 slams and I'll tell you he's still not ready to tie Fedals shoes laces
Lets face it, if you want to quote the convenient statistics he'll be less than half way there !

There is much more evidence to suggest that he is an ATG who will win 10+ Slams than there is evidence to suggest he is a one Slam wonder who will flame out

Heh Heh thank you - I like to make sure. @Kralingen got most upset earlier, most unseemly and abusive, had the temerity to suggest I twisted HIS words....Who would dare I'd say.....
