[Deleted member 758560]

I feel this is going to five sets. At the end Zverev wins.

zebrev is perfect at tb here btw 5-0 iirc

three and out

 

[jl809]

I really hope Zved loses this lol

 

[neytron]

meddy loves watching it

They will be fine even if it comes to 5 sets.

 

[Mike Sams]

mike sams came back, not bad

When Zverev plays like this, just curious to see what the tennis world is saying about him.

 

[nolefam_2024]

I really hope Zved loses this lol

Why
No more heroics from spaniards here

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Zverev holds.

 

[FeroBango]

Dae that second serve aggressive return just hasn't worked for you all month long.

 

[Krish872007]

Zverev still has the momentum to be honest - other than that 1 game he's been resilient on serve

 

[junior74]

Come on Zed.

Hahaha, wunderbar!

Zverev shouldn’t have choked when serving for it. He might still win but you can’t give opponents like alcaraz any hope.

 

[Mike Sams]

It's interesting that Zverev just doesn't treat tennis as a priority. Against lower ranked players, he's in 5 setters. And when he's in kill mode, he just wipes guys out. Wonder why he doesn't just play like this from the beginning and make his life easier.

It's not always a choke. Sometimes the opponent hits some great risky shots.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Alcaraz showing more confidence now. He was given an unexpected lifeline.

 

[TheSlicer]

It would really be a miracle if Carlos wins this set, zverev level hastn drop enough and his level hastn gone Up enough, zverev still so solid on serve, 79%

 

[Krish872007]

I've not seen Alcaraz chirp at the umpire before.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

No way Chokemeister can ever close it.

This one is as finnish as eating kalakukko fish pie in a sauna.

Completely a lie

In his best matches he played five sets and lost

Like USO 20 final
RG 21 semis

He is not that good. Tennis is his priority

 

[Terenigma]

No-one should ever underestimate how much of a mental game tennis really is.

I can't think of another sport that requires you to be as fit in EVERY area of the body. Obviously Physical and flexible but eyes need to be top tier, you need to be smart and know what shot to hit and when AND you need to be able to handle pressure. It's such a demanding sport in every area!

 

[NYTennisfan]

Zverev looks like he will outlast Alcaraz even if Alcaraz wins this set.

This match could be over for Alcaraz, he is fighting a losing battle, today Zverev won't lose.

Correct. This is over

 

[Dwell]

Dae that second serve aggressive return just hasn't worked for you all month long.

He thinks he's Sinner but his forgets his arms are too tiny.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

It's not always a choke. Sometimes the opponent hits some great risky shots.

He missed a couple of first serves or chance for aces. Had he served like he did the other games, alcaraz would not get them shots to hit.

 

[dking68]

What a rascal Zverev is
When serving for the match, he forgets putting in first serves

Choker. He’ll never win a slam

 

[FeroBango]

It would really be a miracle if Carlos wins this set, zverev level hastn drop enough and his leven hastn gone Up enough, zverev still so solid on serve, 79%

Yep. He's at the mercy of Zverev.

 

[Nate7-5]

For all the gamblers: now it's the time to bet on Alcaraz

Nope, the time was before the 5-3 game

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Zverev has to win the tiebreak or he loses in 5!

 

[Subway Tennis]

I’m worried about how Carlitos is going to win a TB when Zverev is serving so well. I guess we will see.

 

[Terenigma]

This TB is going to be intense! Cmon Zverev!

 

[Krish872007]

TB time - advantage Zverev...

 

[weakera]

Zverev only ever lost from 2-0 in the USO Final

 

[Mustard]

A big tiebreak. If Alcaraz wins it, I wouldn't be surprised if he won sets 4 and 5 pretty comfortably.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Alcaraz looking bae af

 

[Mike Sams]

People forget that Zverev is an Olympic gold medalist!

 

[Krish872007]

Zverev has to win the tiebreak or he loses in 5!

At RG 2022 he recovered from dropping the 3rd set to win in 4

 

[EdMcMush]

Zverev only ever lost from 2-0 in the USO Final

he was also up a break in the third set as well

 

[NeutralFan]

I’m worried about how Carlitos is going to win a TB when Zverev is serving so well. I guess we will see.

If Z chokes?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Alcaraz set it up and made a loose error. Bad choice there.

 

[FeroBango]

Tennis IQ issues again, you see.

 

[Razer]

Zverev has to win the tiebreak or he loses in 5!

Nothing like that, even if Zverev loses this set he will take the match.

Alcaraz has dug too deep a hole for himself, there is no coming out of this.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Zverev still has the momentum to be honest - other than that 1 game he's been resilient on serve

LOLOLOL. No.

Zverev is in a panic and his shorts are getting browner by the second.

 

[Mike Sams]

Drop shots can kill you if you don't do em right!

 

[Tshooter]

That dropshot.

 

[fmadej]

Zverev actually withstood that, wow

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Great defence by Zverev. Passive might do it if alcaraz keeps missing. We will see

 

[Pheasant]

Carlos back to back unforced errors. Wow.

 

[Mustard]

he was also up a break in the third set as well

And served for it in the fifth set.

 

[Krish872007]

Great shot tolerance from Zverev, minibreak to him

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

At RG 2022 he recovered from dropping the 3rd set to win in 4

I think the mental demons woukd be too much if he doesn’t convert here.

 

[Mike Sams]

Z off the baseline is impenetrable tonight!
