2025 Indian wells ATP master's 1000 SF - (2) Carlos Alcaraz Garfia [SPN] v/s (13) Jack Draper [Great Britain]

[TheSlicer]

Drapey the bakee?

Draper has been baked apparently

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

How is he lucky? I mean, he has been winning big since he was 18... He has winning head to head against tiafoe... Sinner.... Two wimbledon finals won agaisnt djokovic... Just because he isnt a defensive player who focuses on not missing he isnt lucky, he goes for his shots and when he makes them, he normally wins, you dont call him unlucky when he loses, you oportunistic troll, now go tell him change his team after a 6-0 bagel...

Carlos could still very lose this match 1-6 2-6 in the third

 

[Gary Duane]

Sounds like you hate the truth.

We just hate your ignorant posts.

 

[TheSlicer]

Carlos could still very lose this match 1-6 2-6

Doesnt change a thing about what i said, this is the way he is, a different coach aint gonna erase those dips in level suddenly, thats inherent in him, he probably still gonna win more than 99 percent of the tour, you want him to be perfect but hes not, you got sinner for that, but then he doesnt play this brand of tennis, your choice

 

[McGradey]

Draper always struggling with health and conditioning issues it seems. Shame because he is very good.

 

[fafa]

Crucial game for Draper.

 

[flyingboris]

Emphatic start of the third set by Alcaraz

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

We just hate your ignorant posts.

Refute what I said then. His 2 slam wins last year were more LUCK than they were dominant. . Actually they were two of the weakest slam wins in the last 10-15 years

 

[tennisjedi]

Draper stops the bleeding.

 

[Vincent-C]

Let's go, Jack. One-set match now.

 

[Gary Duane]

Refute what I said then. His 2 slam wins last year were more LUCK than they were dominant. . Actually they were two of the weakest slam wins in the last 10-15 years

I don't attempt to refute idiots.

 

[McGradey]

No-one's going to refute your shiiiiiet because it's always trolling and you never converse in good faith lol.
Enjoy the match, I wonder who will get lucky today

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

I don't attempt to refute idiots.

Cause you can’t refute the facts. Thanks goodbye 3 guys had him on the ropes at both slams

 

[jimjam]

Refute what I said then. His 2 slam wins last year were more LUCK than they were dominant. . Actually they were two of the weakest slam wins in the last 10-15 years

I think that's an understatement. I think they were some of luckiest events in all of sporting history.

 

[fafa]

Time to retire Layani. Horrible mistake.

 

[albatros_forehand]

Never forget that Draper is a cheat (FAA match)

 

[Dropshot777]

Amazing umpire, very fair. For sure. Definitely

 

[Succession]

Can't stand that ultra cheater Draper

 

[jimjam]

Point won to point replay to point lost, thanks to two video reviews. this could get in his head

 

[Vincent-C]

Draper breaks. Yes

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

LOL Draper breaks the TTW love child

 

[nolefam_2024]

Raz too many dropshots

 

[GodlessEndeavor]

Strange that they didn't replay the point, given that the umpire called double bounce before Alcaraz hit the ball.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Someone please explain what was wrong. I had no volume but saw it all. What was the supposed problem?

 

[NaDjoFed]

The umpire makes the call before Alcaraz hits the ball. Weird decision not to repeat the point?

 

[jimjam]

Strange that they didn't replay the point, given that the umpire called double bounce before Alcaraz hit the ball.

umpire panicked for making the bad call in the first place and went the other extreme

 

[TheSlicer]

Well i think at the end was a fair call to give drapper that point but layanis scream could have had an impact on carlos point, if youre not 100% sure dont stop the point, you would think the best umpire in the world for years would know that

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Draper moves like crap. Carlos should bagel this bun on a surface like this. It goes to show Carlos needs to make changes

 

[NYTennisfan]

Sounds like you hate the truth. FACT tiafoe should have beat him at Wimbledon and he’s lucky he got by sinner or Zverev. Again. Neither slam was impressive at all. The last great impressive win he had was wiMbledon 2 years ago

I don't think you know what "fact".means and look at Sinner's opponents in his last two slams wins if you want to talk about luck.

 

[veelium]

Strange that they didn't replay the point, given that the umpire called double bounce before Alcaraz hit the ball.

Alcaraz said it didn't hinder him when he missed the ball. Better sportsmanship than Draper might deserve.
I imagine if Alcaraz said the call hindered him they would have replayed it.

It’s not sinners fault he so good on hards and Carlos can’t by grandad slow 40 year old Djoker on clay or hard

 

[MeatTornado]

Time for Carlos to kick it into gear. I really don't want a Draper/Rune final.

 

[jimjam]

Alcaraz said it didn't hinder him when he missed the ball. Better sportsmanship than Draper might deserve.
I imagine if Alcaraz said the call hindered him they would have replayed it.

I'm pretty sure I heard Draper say "he was nowhere near the ball" when asking for the 2nd video review. Which was clearly not true considering Carlos got a racket on the ball.

 

[albatros_forehand]

Well i think at the end was a fair call to give drapper that point but layanis scream could have had an impact on carlos point, if youre not 100% sure dont stop the point, you would think the best umpire in the world for years would know that

Sorry there is no “could have impact”. Empire speaks before player hitting the ball=replay the point

 

[GodlessEndeavor]

umpire panicked for making the bad call in the first place and went the other extreme

Yeah. If I were Alcaraz and thought there was the slightest chance I missed because of the bad call, I would have protested.

He might end up feeling pretty stupid about it if he loses the match because of that game.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Time for Carlos to kick it into gear. I really don't want a Draper/Rune final.

You will get it and most likely enjoy it.

 

[jimjam]

Imagine a 61-06-61 scoreline

 

[TheSlicer]

Sorry there is no “could have impact”. Empire speaks before player hitting the ball=replay the point

True

 

[flyingboris]

Amazing umpire, very fair. For sure. Definitely

I mean, if that was intentional to help Draper, that's some impressive four-dimensional chess.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Hard to believe but rune is now the favorite to win this title and maybe sweep the clay season. At least until sinner returns. Draper and Carlos are will lose if they keep this level up in the final

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

ATP scoreline.

 

[Jonas78]

Draper should have had BPs on that one, sloppy game from Carlo but he takes it

 

[McGradey]

Imagine if Alcaraz could hold serve easily on a consistent basis. He'd be some player. Already is right?

imagine if Diego Schwartzman was taller. if if if if ...

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Rune has got this I think. It may be the beginning of his run of slow court domination

 

[McGradey]

Be good for the lad to have his head in proportion to the rest of his body.

 

[GodlessEndeavor]

Someone please explain what was wrong. I had no volume but saw it all. What was the supposed problem?

The umpire wrongly called double bounce when Draper hit a shot. Alcaraz missed the next shot.

Draper asked for video review to prove it was a single bounce, then asked for another video review to prove he should win the point. He ended up winning the point after these two video reviews.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Rune has got this I think. It may be the beginning of his run of slow court domination

Why do you keep projecting?
Why not try to enjoy things as they're happening instead of always trying to predict the future?

Rune interjecting himself in the fold is exactly what the game of tennis needs. If not when end up with club footed penguins like Fritz in the finals or Ruud

 

[MeatTornado]

C'mon man, you can't rip a winner and then let out a roar only to put a drop shot into the net on game point.
