2025 Roland Garros QF - [2] Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (SPN) v/s [12] Thomas John Robert Paul (USA)

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

They both sending messages to each other.

The tour is sending a message of how bad it is too LOL

 

[Alcawrath]

You never know what's going to happen, but I want to see this level of Alcaraz against Sinner in the final. It would be an absolute fireworks show...

 

[JMR]

Wow, Paul is awful. Just cannon fodder so far. He can't get his first serve in even though it's a pretty lame service.

 

[Hitman]

It is clear Sinner and Alcaraz are right now battling for dominance and supremacy over the tour.

It sinner who has to bring it more though. Alcaraz has his number at moment so the Italian has to work how to change the tide of the rivalry.

Sinner has a way of making everyone play worse against him… his relentless depth and excellent weight of shot means no one can just tee off against him like this. He’s so solid and so good at ball striking.

But Raz certainly has the level to beat Sinner , no doubt in my mind.

 

[Rogibear]

So does anyone give mugsetti a chance in the semi lol

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Beatings.

True. Old Jurassic Djokovic, Zverev are trying to hang on to their coat tails. Same with musetti! Haha

 

[Rattie]

Tommy seemed flat from the outset. No energy at the moment.

 

[Legend of Borg]

Don't worry neutral fans, Charlie slump incoming very soon to make it fun.

Might end up being a 4 setter.

Well yeah he's beaten him 4 times in a row so there shouldn't be any doubt that he has the level to beat sinner

 

[Kralingen]

Shall we credit Ferrero here or is that all Raz?

Ideally a proper coach focuses him and brings this level out of him every match. It’s very possible. Ferrero is doing a bare minimum job today. A Moya or Norman could take him to unforeseen heights.

 

[Lozo1016]

So, how much of this can we blame on Paul's abdominal situation?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

The tour is sending a message of how bad it is too LOL

They just can’t live with either! Haha

 

[Move]

Wow, Paul is awful. Just cannon fodder so far. He can't get his first serve in even though it's a pretty lame service.

He has abdominal issue ? From the Fucsovic match ?

@Hitman @Djokovic_is_the_best#1
Do you think if if Sinner reaches Alcaraz in final he should employ an all-attack game plan? Like hitting bazookas off both wings, going DTL and so on or he should continue his measured yet powerful game, at least for a set?

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

competitive quarters. Bagels

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Alcaraz ain't messing around today.

Peak Alcaraz

 

[NYTennisfan]

It is clear Sinner and Alcaraz are right now battling for dominance and supremacy over the tour.

It's the Big 2 era, been that way for a while now

 

[Lozo1016]

Patrick McEnroe just said on the broadcast that the Knicks let go of Tom Thibodeau? Wow.

It will be fascinating to see what he tries. He can try it but he needs a few game plans up his sleeve. Nothing has worked prior so we will see what happens.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Gonna be a day of pride parade if Paul can do the impossible and win a game.

 

[Hitman]

Alcaraz has gone full Rambo here

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

It's the Big 2 era, been that way for a while now

Very true!

 

[Carax]

Is that Muller?

Yes. I think it was about a second leg against Besiktas, but I'm not sure.

 

[FRV4]

It's the Big 2 era, been that way for a while now

yeah Sinner Alcaraz showdown would be incredible, and seems like what we're gonna get. I prob won't even watch that match though. If Djokovic beats Sinner in the semis it's big 3 again. Even if Djokovic beats Sinner in the semis and then loses to Alcaraz, he'll have bought his tour career some life with a win vs Sinner.

I think a mixture of both. You need more layers to your game to beat Alcaraz in a big final.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

I could only imagine how many RGs Nadal would win today. 30 in a row? LOL

 

[Rattie]

That speed is ridiculous!

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Neither Alcaraz nor Sinner are human, I’m convinced.

 

[Legend of Borg]

That was a ridiculous get.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This is incredible!!

 

[Hitman]

Bagel!!!!

6-0

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Alcaraz will not be gotten to. Yes, he might lose a match, but there will be no seductive dinners.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Alcaraz is ridiculous today, absolutely ridiculous

 

[Move]

A bit of Roddick vs Federer vibes here

 

[Oval_Solid]

welp that was fast

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Bagel delivered! Sensational!

 

[Pheasant]

Wow!!!!

 

[Juice4080]

I’m not expecting anyone to actually take down Sincaraz, but damn is it too much to ask for someone to not completely roll over and die out there? Show some fight, at least.

 

[dking68]

The question is not whether or not he can’t beat him. But who will feel the pressure more in that final? Or in that case, who will have more expectations on their shoulder in that final. I find that in their matches, the underdog seems to prevail most of the time

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Neither Alcaraz nor Sinner are human, I’m convinced.

They make Djokovic seem human right now! Haha

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

I know clay courts aren’t prevalent here in America but you don’t have to suck this bad Paul

 

[tennisjedi]

Carlos delivers a delicious bagel.

In Bublik we trust ...

I wouldn’t say anything bro as Djokovic could be on the end of this soon. Sinner/Alcaraz are something else right now.

 

[GRASScaraz]

So does anyone give mugsetti a chance in the semi lol

Lorenzo to expose Carlitos false dawn

 

[NaDjoFed]

What a first set for Carlos. Demolition mode

 

[NoleFam]

This looks like it will be another dud like last night.
