[Vamos Carlos Alcaraz]

What a disappointing ending ):

Tsitsipas backhand looked better than usual in this match? Better follow-through and finish.

I didn’t miss Thiem’s fake grunt. Gross.

Best grunt in the game IMO.

Tsitsipas is slowly becoming very humble at the end of the matches. He was very subdued with celebration today. He was equally humble vs Carlos.
Loving this change.

I am not a Tsitsipas fan, but all credit to him for slowly becoming more classy at the net after defeat. He also reigned in any celebration, probably out of deference to Thiem. If Tsitsipas can grow up on court (and fire the Dad), he still could win some majors. He's always fit, almost never do you see him dragging at the end of matches.

Not always fit. Remember the FO final and the AO 2021 SF.

Tstsipas almost loses to a guy that hasn’t done anything in years and way off form. That’s crappYPass in a nutshell. He’s the easiest finals opponent you can ask for.

Yes very subdued at the end of the match. Everyone should appreciate this change.

Thiem's grunt is the sexiest on tour
by far

I’m not saying he’s a saint. He did have some major anger issues early on in his career, but I don’t believe he’s ever been a bad person. Sure he’s had a few outbursts early on in his career. But he’s worked on it, grown and matured so much now. It’s evident if you’re not a hater. You’ll never see Tsitsipas indulge in racket or ball abuse now. Just goes about his business in a calm, focused manner, win or lose. Now guess what people are talking about in this forum now that they can’t find excuses to hate. “I don’t like the way he walks”. Lmao.

I thought, on the contrary, that he lost part of his early passion, the flame, so to say, that was at the core and made his game so fascinating (and winning). Hope he's lost just some and it's still there and shows.
