Alcaraz is just too good!
That might explain why I’ve suddenly been left watching a results round upMajor blackout on the video feeds from Miami, all courts dark... is it still visible in the US?
No, still seeing Bagnis being demolished by Carlos on the US stream.Major blackout on the video feeds from Miami, all courts dark... is it still visible in the US?
Totally agree. They do the same thing with Big 3 first round matches at the slams, and then they wonder why casual fans have no idea who the #10 ranked player in the world is.I know they want to put the star players on TV, but this is like watching someone kick a puppy. I’d rather see a competitive match of two mid-ranked players.
Yeah, mine went dark for a while there too. Back now though.Major blackout on the video feeds from Miami, all courts dark... is it still visible in the US?
He's incredible. Unless he loses interest, he should win this tournament without dropping a set.Carlos is playing incredible! Superb tennis.
I think it’s exciting for tennis that we finally have the guy that is now good enough to challenge and maybe dethrone djokodal. We been waiting for it and he’s arrived. As it will be interesting to see how Djokovic and Nadal try deal with this big problem they have. It’s going to make every tournament coming up more interesting and unpredictable.He's incredible. Unless he loses interest, he should win this tournament without dropping a set.
Lets be honest, unless djokodal are in top form, they should lose to alcaraz, he is too fast and hits too hard, the pity is that they are too old and they are not going to compete directly against carlos at least for too long, this year at slams i hope that we get some good matches at leastI think it’s exciting for tennis that we finally have the guy that is now good enough to challenge and maybe dethrone djokodal.

I just hope he doesn't overplay until RG. He needs to take some tournament off, whether it's MC, Barcelona, Madrid or Rome. He needs to sit out MC and be as fresh as possible in June. He can't really tank Miami since he's defending 1000 points there.Alcaraz proving once more why he’s the man to beat in tennis right now. A very empathic win again!
Yeah this is true. It’s likely they might not be able to handle alcaraz peak level as they past their bests. However, they are legends of the sport so can never be discounted. I see some close battles still until alcaraz truly takes over and start regularly beating them.Lets be honest, unless djokodal are in top form, they should lose to alcaraz, he is too fast and hits too hard, the pity is that they are too old and they are not going to compete directly against carlos at least for too long, this year at slams i hope that we get some good matches at least
It seems like you were more impressed by Carlos than Holger after watching them in person at Indian Wells. Not a surprise. Time to change your avatar?I just hope he doesn't overplay until RG.

What kind of form do you think Djokovic was in at the AO especially in the last few rounds? Top form?Lets be honest, unless djokodal are in top form, they should lose to alcaraz, he is too fast and hits too hard, the pity is that they are too old and they are not going to compete directly against carlos at least for too long, this year at slams i hope that we get some good matches at least
I agree. If he smart he can maybe do similar to last year. In the sense of playing MC, Barcelona, Madrid and maybe skip or tank Rome to save energy for RG. We will see but no doubt himself, Ferrero and his team will have a smart plan so he peaks at right time.I just hope he doesn't overplay until RG.

Rune practices like a demon 5-6 hours every day (look at his legs or his social media).Rune's going to wilt in the heat and run out of gas in the 3rd or 4th round, maybe earlier. Guy needs some fitness.
Yes, but then he lost in dubai, anything less than final rounds of aus open is gonna stand little chance against alcaraz on paper, nadal we dont know what form to expect, it could be great or could be poor, but still, peak for peak, today, i see alcaraz peak higher than djokovic, but you know anythingcould happen, i feel like if we are gonna have some disputed matches between the two its got to be this year, next year it could be too lateWhat kind of form do you think Djokovic was in at the AO especially in the last few rounds? Top form?

He didn't peak for RG last year. Though admittedly his injury was an accident on the court, I'm not really sold on his team's planning.I agree. If he smart he can maybe do similar to last year.

and lost TB 2:7At 5:3 Cressy to serve for the 2nd set to stay in the match, and he was broken to love, embarrassingly bad for S/V Cressy!![]()
Watch Rune-Fucosvics instead. 4-4 in the second, Holger took the first set.Zverev vs Taro Daniel match to begin. Should I do another thing?
You must be in heaven now.Watch Rune-Fucosvics instead.
No big fan of Fucsovics. Love Holger though!You must be in heaven now.
Taro teasing us with some juicy #ABZ potentialomg please give us this bagel
Such a fun practice session. Loved the flair on display from both
Weird that Tennis Channel is showing Zverev blowing out Taro Daniel while the higher ranked young star Rune is late in a tough set. I am watching the Rune match on TC+.
I was watching Rune and casually looking at the scoreboard saw 5-0 and assumed it was Zverev up. Oops.
