One game Alcaraz, one game Draper, one game Lahyani

Making Alcaraz move like a windshield wiper without taking risks, this is the key against him, percentage tennis, the Spaniard, unlike some clichés, is accustomed to tolerance in the exchange.

If he loses RG, he will arrive at Wimbledon with an insurmountable amount of pressure, knowing he failed at RG, USO, AO and the Olympics and I think he loses there too.

Djokovic hit him off the court in AO, totally the opposite playing style.

I would agree that losing RG would put a lot of pressure on him.
But I personally wouldn't count out someone of the pedigree of Alcaraz to make magic and win a slam when you least expect it, the way he bounced back after losing RG 2023 to win W 2023.

Once the ump opens his mouth to make that “not up” call while Charlie is running for the ball and it turns out the call was wrong you play the point over.

Draper is not Djokovic.
Why does Draper have to take big risks when the point is given to him by Alcaraz who makes all these unforced errors?
The important thing is to make him move.

I'm just say that there are different ways to beat him, Alcaraz can be hit off the court also.

Draper gifts with errors in return.
It was the right opportunity to kill this match for good.

Draper is the real deal

I actually think Draper is the next 2000s person to win a slam. I fancy his chances at Wimbledon in the next 5 years to win 1 of them
yeah I know which is why the ump should wait to go to video after point is played out. that way if it was double bounce point ends there or if it was good then the point was played out to see who won that point and you don't have to replay the point which would be unfair to the player who originally won the point. Alcarez said the umps call didn't bother him which was good sportsmanship

Draper looks like he has slams in him from his talent, but not sure he will be the next player from the 2000s, he is still inconsistent and suffers from injuries often.

He's fighting to keep his title defense alive now....

Draper playing well but Alcaraz just isn't the player he used to be before the Gold Medal loss to Djokovic. It's been a steady regression since.

Well done Draper. His form looked ominous the whole tournament.

Great Jack!
First 1000 final and best ranking at number 8.
Four-sided match but in the end the most deserving one won.
Alcaraz always worse with his inconsistency.

Alcaraz needs a new coach badly. This is the wake up call season for Alcaraz

Lots to chew on for Alcaraz' coaching team. From the walkabouts in the first set to several bad decisions in the third.

I think he wins one of the next 5 Wimbledons. He’s gonna be a champion. Bookmark this message
