2023 Roland Garros R32: [1] Carlos Alcaraz Garfia vs Denis Viktorovich Shapovalov [26]

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Lol Shapo

 

[Hitman]

What the heck was Denis?

Broken again.

 

[abmk]

Shapo just missing hitting the billboards with his BH shank.
4-0 Alcaraz

 

[Jonesy]

Just triple bagel him already. It would be well deserved.

 

[sometennisdot]

Worst service game this RG so far?

 

[guga_fan]

Shapovalov is very bad so far, which makes sense considering his results lately. The score line might even be worse than when he plays Med.

 

[ojo rojo]

Lol jumping backhand shank. He sucks

 

[Kralingen]

ROFLMAO at that service game.

Yeah, he is completely broken, in all facets. 1 swinging UE, comedic miss. 2 drop shots which Carlos is able to track down with shocking speed and dexterity.

And then, on BP, the cherry on top - a wild swinging BH that lands in the 5th row.

This match is over before it even started.

 

[Hitman]

Worst service game this RG so far?

No question.

 

[ibbi]

Lol Shapo

Perfect time to pull out the jumping backhand. GIGANTIC tennis I.Q.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Shapo really needs to lose that leaping BH shot.

 

[The Blond Blur]

I’m all here for Tiny Carl giving El Shapo a good straight sets thrashing

He’s such a likable brat.

 

[abmk]

to think Shapo was the guy who broke through as an 18 yo beating Nadal in Canada masters 17.
disappointed me by losing all 3 sets towards business end in USO 17 vs PCB when I watched it at Ashe.
nowadays not even disappointed as I stopped having expectations.

 

[guga_fan]

No question.

Djok did lose a game with 3 DFs just earlier

 

[Benf15harp]

Minutes before shapo joins Jack Sock on pickleball tour….. 75.

We all crap on Med for AO 22, but I think it has been memory holed just how badly Shapovalov mugged up the 5th set in the QF vs. Rafa that year.

He could barely keep a ball in play, making amateur misses and completely boiling over. Vs. a very ailing, heatstroke-laden Nadal.

 

[Hitman]

Djok did lose a game with 3 DFs just earlier

Yes, but there was wind playing part there. The nonsense shot selection from Shapo there was just plain stupid.

 

[Krish0608]

Why do people still expect anything out of Shapovalov? He's quite frankly, a terrible tennis player.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Carlos eating up the one handers like RAFA did. Scary stuff.

true to an extent. I haven't forgotten though. If we treat Shapo and Med equally, Shapo in 5th set was worse. But then we expect less from Shapo than from Med. so ....

 

[abmk]

At the net

Alcaraz 8/10
Shapo 1/7

 

[Hitman]

5-0. Alcaraz in a hurry, and Shapo helping him on.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

5-0 alcaraz. Shaps is waving the white flag already.

 

[ojo rojo]

This might be the good tennis for the first time today

Well, at least from one participant smh

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

5-0. Alcaraz in a hurry, and Shapo helping him on.

Yeah. Even Taro Daniel played much better than shaps. It’s sad to see a guy who had so much promise a few years back just fade away like this.

 

[TheNachoMan]

But can Carlos drop sick rhymes and beats like Shapo?

 

[BeatlesFan]

5-0 alcaraz. Shaps is waving the white flag already.

Carlos is just going to continue to pound Shapo's BH until he coughs up the UE.

I was hoping for a more competitive match.... oh well.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Welp - Carlos Alcaraz is asserting control.....Shapo gonna have to find another gear or two if he wants to make this interesting.

 

[Razer]

Yuck...Shapo is such a big loser .... he should quit tennis and just go away

 

[Kralingen]

Carlos is just twisting the knife here.

That is an insane passing shot, off a very decent approach shot from Shaps.

He really is pushing for the bagel. Cruel, almost. This is like watching an assassin coldly dissect a body.

 

[abmk]

2 points away from the bagel.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Yeah that’s all he needs to do tonight. He’s so much better than shaps it’s not even funny. It’s sad to see what shaps has become after a lot of people had expectations for him.

 

[Hood_Man]

Alcaraz is a joy to watch.

 

[The Blond Blur]

 

[The Guru]

Watching this its getting pretty hard to imagine that anyone besides Carlos is holding the trophy next Sunday

 

[Spin Diesel]

That‘s actually crazy big second serves from Shapo. And Alcaraz killing those returns!

 

[ojo rojo]

Carlos feeding Shapo a Yiddish snack

 

[TheNachoMan]

If Djokovic somehow wins against Alcaraz, I never want to hear about weak eras again. Would take a stunning performance.

 

[Deleted member 629564]

When you expected Shapo to give a fight.
And then saw 0-5 on the board.

 

[Spin Diesel]

Was that tennisnerd?

 

[Hitman]

wow....he won a game

 

[Kralingen]

Well, he won a game at least. Big cheers from the crowd.

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

El Crapo avoids getting bagelled by Tiny.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Shaps gets off the board and milks the applause haha!

 

[nolefam_2024]

Shapovalov was always Verdasco 2.0
A fiasco

 

[The Blond Blur]

 

[ojo rojo]

Carlos feeding Shapo a Yiddish snack

Ok make it a French one

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Carlos drop shot working a treat!

 

[Jonesy]

Noooo!!! That delicious bagel is gone... at least we will get some bread

 

[The Guru]

Sucks that Shapo seems to have accepted his fate to forever be meh. Too bad. Hopefully he signs Magnus Norman at some point.
