2024 Wimbledon Quarter Final matchup - [3] Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (SPN) v/s [12] Thomas John Robert Paul (USA)

[ibbi]

Haha, sick volley! They both enjoyed that

The slow motion shot of Alcaraz's reaction

 

[NeutralFan]

Carlos breaks , I knew that's the only way he was going to break lol.

 

[zagor]

Don't wanna speak too soon but thank goodness Djokovic's knee issue and clean-up was the mildest and best possible scenario.

This clash of generations may have plenty more time yet to produce some memorable classics.

Let's hope so. It's probably not a big window but yeah we may squeeze out a few more.

 

[Hitman]

I’m legit outta here if Djoker gets #8. Cba with a world in which he has the same number of Wimbledons as Fed and more than PETE. I will devote myself entirely to complaining about Liverpool FC

Raz will save tennis for you.

 

[Oceans II]

Tommy is too rushed. Should compose himself before second serve.

 

[Vincent-C]

Meddy'll get it done, then.

 

[ibbi]

Paul's collapse in this match has been truly stunning. How a guy who was playing that well in that first set and a bit is now playing this bad without any significant sign of a physical issue or your opponent grinding you down? Makes no sense.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alcaraz right now is more consistent than sinner.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Dude had a champion mentality from the start, he basically won 2 slams witch B-/C+ game but he didn't face Novak in them.

He'll need to raise his level here if he wants to defend the title. Right now I'd bet on Novak winning #8.

If he faces novak there’s no doubt he has to play better in all facets. Serve well.

I am in a world were Djokovic is not my guy and tennis needs new winners or the Carlos train to keep going but also slightly in another world were I want the all time record breakdown on here

 

[abmk]

excellent point!

 

[FeroBango]

See this deserves an ear-cupping.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Carlos is literal insanity. He just knows how to ramp it up when he's going for the kill.

 

[ibbi]

Those titanic forehands into that dinky little touch at net. Sublime.

 

[Hitman]

Only he can pull off this kind of madness.

 

[FeroBango]

Only he can pull off this kind of madness.

Greatness honestly.

 

[MeatTornado]

Alright, let's put the match away right here, please.

 

[Hitman]

Greatness honestly.

No question.

 

[FeroBango]

Movement so good he can play with both conventional grass footwork and do a Djokovic.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This match is 3 hours old. Alcaraz will have two days off i believe.

 

[ibbi]

Okay, the level is improving a little at last. Great volley from Paul there. Somehow the guys gets to it.

 

[NeutralFan]

Carlos needs some brain and strategy to play crucial points and he will be fine , his game is awesome and talent is oozing

 

[ibbi]

That forehand and that overhead from the back of the court from Paul. God damn.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Sayonara Paul

 

[flyingboris]

Tommy must be tired, he's no longer applauding Carlos' shots.

 

[FeroBango]

Indoor backhand masterclass. Both topspinning and undercutting like a veteran, this 21-yo.

 

[Hitman]

This match is 3 hours old. Alcaraz will have two days off i believe.

Yes, so will Medvedev who will welcome it more after four hours today.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Okay, the level is improving a little at last. Great volley from Paul there. Somehow the guys gets to it.

Improving a lot, Alcaraz hit ludicrous speed with his level from whatever that was last set.

 

[roysid]

Whos the guy in blue sweater in alcarazs box.
He reminds me of Mark Ruffalo

 

[NeutralFan]

Carlos is now bullying Paul lol

 

[Night Slasher]

If he faces novak there’s no doubt he has to play better in all facets. Serve well.

He has a youth on his side (and with that comes agility, speed and explosiveness) and it's a huge advantage, the one that will be a deciding factor if they meet in the finals I believe.

 

[Kralingen]

Praying for sunny skies on Friday. He will beat Medvedev if the match is played outdoors. I am confident in that, at the very least.

 

[FeroBango]

What a level he's operating at. One of the highest peaks in Tennis.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I think Carlos will defend his title there, even if he can make some dumb mistakes, am not sure even Djokovic (who didn't really face a strong opponent so far) will be able to keep up with that much intensity for several hours, we'll see.

I have the same feeling!

 

[Pheasant]

Carlitos is putting down the hammer now. He's completely outplaying Tommy in all aspects of the game.

Here's hoping for a Djoker/Alcaraz final. Now that would be a barn-burner. I wouldn't know how to call that one.

 

[-NN-]

The mix-ups from Alcaraz. It's joyous.

 

[mehdimike]

The point at 30-0 was a great one from Carlos.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Greatness honestly.

Alcaraz is inevitable

 

[FeroBango]

Raz has figured out indoor Tennis?

 

[NeutralFan]

What a FH winner and they compared this guy to freaking Hewitt???

 

[jl809]

Raz will save tennis for you.

I’m not sure. He’d have more of a chance than Sinner would have for sure though

Here's hoping for a Djoker/Alcaraz final. Now that would be a barn-burner. I wouldn't know how to call that one.

Alcaraz would win in 4 or 5 sets. He will outlast Djokovic physically again.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

He has a youth on his side (and with that comes agility, speed and explosiveness) and it's a huge advantage, the one that will be a deciding factor if they meet in the finals I believe.

Maybe but the old guard still has a punchers chance. He would make him earn it for sure.

 

[FeroBango]

The mix-ups from Alcaraz. It's joyous.

Such a beautiful player. Most old-school modern day player.

 

[Hitman]

Praying for sunny skies on Friday. He will beat Medvedev if the match is played outdoors. I am confident in that, at the very least.

But will you watch?

 

[jl809]

It is so impressive how Alcaraz levels up like crazy in 4th and 5th sets. He gets better and better throughout matches

 

[mehdimike]

The mix-ups from Alcaraz. It's joyous.

That was some variety for sure. Topspin, flat strokes, slice.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alcaraz would win in 4 or 5 sets. He will outlast Djokovic physically again.

Don’t sleep on your guy trust him. I didn’t think fed had much of a chance at Wimbledon in 2019 and had a chance to serve it out.

That's his dad.

Alcaraz will down Djokovic if they make final! Relax! Lol
