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

[MeatTornado]

An early break would definitely calm my nerves a bit.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Alcaraz looking sharp!

 

[ibbi]

Tommy gives up two break points and saves them both well.

 

[ibbi]

Holy hell, that point. No idea how Paul got that forehand back. Alcaraz's reactions from there were incredible.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Paul Alcaraz looking like match of the day

 

[NeutralFan]

I am watching Tommy play first time against Carlos, Carlos is mugging break points lol

 

[MeatTornado]

Tommy gives up two break points and saves them both well.

Played very aggressively on all of them. Not showing any nerves right now.

 

[TheSlicer]

Oh boy today he took extra large coffe,he went out theres to put on a show, come on carlos

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Huge hold for Paul! Fair play as Alcaraz threw everything there!

 

[ibbi]

If Paul escapes from this it'll be pretty impressive.

 

[Hitman]

Nice first game here

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

What a hold from TP.

 

[ibbi]

You would think there would be some period of adjustment for Paul playing under the roof as I think he's been outside the whole tournament, so if that was it he'll be pretty happy.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Paul lucking out already

 

[TheSlicer]

Man really, you cant throw away 4 BP with how patchy you have been throughout the tournament, lets see if at least he keeps Up the level

 

[ibbi]

Good start from Shorty C.

 

[NeutralFan]

Paul lucking out already

More like Federaz showing up on break points lol

 

[tudwell]

Carlos really teeing off on the Paul second serve.

 

[kevin qmto]

In the last cutaway to the player box, someone right behind them was wearing a 1994 US Open sweater for some reason. A level of retroness I can approve of. Anyone else notice that?

 

[Hitman]

What a rally! LOL

 

[MeatTornado]

Ridiculous forehands

 

[Hitman]

Ridiculous forehands

From both.

 

[ibbi]

Outrageous hitting out here right now. No easing into this one.

 

[ibbi]

Incredible get from Carlos, terrible volley from Tommy.

 

[MeatTornado]

Paul needs to play every point like its BP.

 

[Hitman]

What a shot to break!! Holy crap!

 

[TheSlicer]

Carlos is flying, just watch the choosen one

 

[MeatTornado]

Painting the baseline, but probably not on purpose.

 

[pirhaksar]

Raz in 3, this is no contest!

 

[ibbi]

Alcaraz avoids getting Federeresque on break points.

 

[abmk]

Nice rally with a very good finishing CC FH winner from Alcaraz to break.

 

[NeutralFan]

Carlos breaks, tommy looks a good fighter but proving to be a lightweight

 

[kevin qmto]

Cmon Tommy wake up.

 

[kevin qmto]

Carlos breaks, tommy looks a good fighter but proving to be a lightweight

Jesus what a take when it’s 1 break into a BO5 and Tommy’s already beaten Alcaraz twice before…

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alcaraz‘a serve is absolute garbage.

 

[abmk]

Tommy Paul with a brilliant BH DTL pass. 3 breakback points.

 

[ibbi]

The defensive tennis so far is crazy.

 

[Tano]

Is this the first GS confrontation between the two?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This is why I feel novak has a very good chance of winning wimbledon. Still has one of the best serves remaining.

 

[Hitman]

Too much tennis action right now.

 

[Vincent-C]

Is this the first GS confrontation between the two?

Yes.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nice opening to the match!

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

What the hell was that BH passing from Paul, left me bamboozled.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Is this the first GS confrontation between the two?

Yep, the 4 previous were hard court masters I believe

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Let’s see if carlitos can hold with his flawed serve.

 

[NeutralFan]

Jesus what a take when it’s 1 break into a BO5 and Tommy’s already beaten Alcaraz twice before…

Calm down son, keep your take to yourself. First time they're meeting in slam

 

[40Deuce]

A very confident start from Tommy. Was broken then broke right back.

 

[TennisFan3]

Let’s see if carlitos can hold with his flawed serve.

He's just NOT playing well.

 

[NeutralFan]

Let’s see if carlitos can hold with his flawed serve.

His coach is useless , Carlos needs some brain especially on break points.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

He's just NOT playing well.

Trash tennis
