RG2024 QF: Carlos Alcaraz[3] v Stefanos Tsitsipas[9]

[Hitman]

This is the key match for the Greek, he gets past Raz, he will like his chances for the title.

 

[Pheasant]

Legend has it that Tsitsipas paid Marat Safin to bring Alcaraz to one of his wild parties that had lots of booze and girls there. Now granted, I created that legend.

Showtime! Let's go Alcaraz!

 

[MeatTornado]

Is it weird that I have zero recollection of them playing at the exact same stage last year?

 

[ibbi]

If Tsitsipas has abandoned his beloved in the mixed just to go out and get his ass kicked up and down the street by Young Charles in straight sets that will be a pretty bad look.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

BP Alcaraz already

No, it was so one-sidedly uneventful that it would be amazing if you did.

 

[Hitman]

Tsitsipas probably blocked it out also.

 

[Kralingen]

ROFLMAO. So the intrigue on this one lasted exactly one game. Same old Stefanos. Bad errors and then Alcaraz demolishes him from the baseline.

Broken already.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What a start from Alcaraz!

[tennisjedi]

Early break for Carlitos!

 

[jl809]

Hahahahaa

 

[BeatlesFan]

Carlitos breaks to open the match. Keep it up!

 

[ojo rojo]

Lulz

 

[TheSlicer]

Well...

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This could be a repeat of last year if Tsitsipas isn’t careful

 

[TheSlicer]

Is it weird that I have zero recollection of them playing at the exact same stage last year?

It was a fast match

Post COVID, everything's blurred.

 

[The Guru]

Anyone else kinda wanna see Stefanos vs Zverev in the final. Would be fun to see how each guy handled the occasion. Not gonna happen with the form Carlos is in but would've been cool.

 

[InsideOut900]

Tsitsipas's stonks lasting a good 2 mins into the match, lol

 

[NatF]

Looks like the same old story.

 

[Hitman]

With Dimitrov losing today and Djokovic retiring, there are only 20 somethings left in the tournament....

 

[GodlessEndeavor]

Just watching the Eurosport build-up to the match. Honestly, Stef doesn't seem to have a single ounce of humility. The levels of cringe never fail to amaze.
Carlos, kick his arse please

I didn't watch any recent quotes from Tsitsipas, but his excuses for losing matches and poor takes on his opponents are absolutely cringeworthy.

 

[Kralingen]

And now Stefanos is in peak form, depositing a shanked backhand into the sky for an error. I think that one hit the Eiffel Tower? Pathetic, as usual.

 

[Rattie]

Constantly targeting Tsitsipas’s backhand

 

[ultimathule]

That was easy

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

Looks like Karl started where he left off last year. Pus looking helpless as usual.

 

[ojo rojo]

Shankipas in da house

You might remember Tsitsipas blaming melatonin for the loss.

 

[dapchai]

It's no longer morning but Carl is eating Tsits's BH for breakfast

[Pheasant]

Wow! Alcaraz is out of the gates fast. Tsistipas has lost 7 straight points since leading 30-15 in the first game of the match.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Tsitsipas is ready to get destroyed today?

 

[InsuranceMan]

Man what a gift to the game Alcaraz is. So lucky to have him.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Amazing movement from Alcaraz there

 

[Hitman]

I wonder what was the secret game plan was....

Cool in US Open 2020 kind of way maybe. Their semifinal a couple of years ago was bad enough on that front.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Greek god on the board!

 

[nolefam_2024]

I wonder what was the secret game plan was....

He can try many things. Serve and volley. Attacking Raz fh in rallies. Hitting bhdtl. A lot a lot.

Let's see.

 

[Hitman]

Massive FH from Tsitsipas!

 

[Terenigma]

If Tsitsipas has abandoned his beloved in the mixed just to go out and get his ass kicked up and down the street by Young Charles in straight sets that will be a pretty bad look.

Right decision either way and it she doesn't understand then she's awful. Even if he gets beaten here, this was a chance for him this year and squandering it for doubles is the bigger mistake.

 

[KantenKlaar]

Greek plagiarist in the bumblebee kit.

Yellow is not his color

 

[Peter97]

Alcaraz better do the job here. I will never forgive that Greek mug for gifting Djokovic his second RG title. 2-0 sets up and he couldn't close it out. Hope he never wins a Slam.

 

[jss]

Stefanos successfully un-bageled himself

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Lovely FH from Tsitsipas

 

[Rattie]

Strong forehands from Tsitsipas.

 

[1hander]

Alcaraz with 100% first serves so far.

 

[ojo rojo]

Alcaraz first serve percentage: 100#
Lol

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Alcaraz with an impressive start

Alcaraz first serve percentage: 100#
Lol

Good! It was a bit off in his last match. Much better in R3
