Round 3: Alcaraz vs Norrie

[UnderratedSlam]

Which pop artist are they playing? You know

Art sounds quite different from reggaeton and other trash.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Nadal was quite lame today, for his standards. Quite beatable for a player of Alcatraz's caliber.

If Nadal raises his level, then it will be tough, but otherwise Alcatraz is the favourite.

We shall see. Alcatraz’s best chance is for a tired nadal.

Seeing another set of tennis isn’t that bad. But Alcaraz better win, I can’t stand Norrie. Don’t know why really, you gotta give him credit for achieving as much as he has given his limited ceiling, but something about him just rubs me the wrong way.

That is coming for an Alcaraz fanboy!

this alcarez is Fake goods

Same here. Norrie is just plain unlikable, has a dour and unfriendly demenour, but you gotta respect his fighting spirit, sorely lacking in some players.

He’s gonna get destroyed tomorrow if he plays like this.

I thought it was just me. Seems there are three of us. There’s something about him that I can’t put my finger on.

 

[Nostradamus]

Rafa will take him apart like cheap transformer doll

 

[Harry_Wild]

LOL!

 

[UnderratedSlam]

0-40, he just doesn't give a damn.

Champ material through and through.

 

[ojo rojo]

Clutcharaz

 

[UnderratedSlam]

After Munar turned out to be such a flop, here's Alcatraz trying to fill in the big shoes of past Spanish greats.

There was nobody even close since Nadal.

 

[Rattie]

Norrie is still not over his illness, keeps coughing during changeover.

 

[Gt86]

Feliz cumpleanos Carlos!!!!!

I really hope Carlos wins on his birthday. Let's see how he plays today in his match with Cameron Norrie...

He is awful today. Terrible match. Almost 80UFES

 

[Gt86]

Alcaraz needs a break. His shot selection is that of a mentally tired player

 

[phl92]

Golden hands this boy

 

[Gt86]

I am even surer he'd prefer to win in two.

I don't want Nadal to play tomorrow as I feel he risks an injury.Slams are perfect for him as he gets a day off in between . alcaraz or norrie are not what he needs now

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Make alcaraz serve it out.

 

[Latetothegame]

Same here. Norrie is just plain unlikable, has a dour and unfriendly demenour, but you gotta respect his fighting spirit, sorely lacking in some players.

Hum, he is not a extrovert, I would not say he is unlikeable, he is a classic hard worker who quietly makes the most of his talents, he is not charismatic in personality I agree

 

[Gt86]

Make alcaraz serve it out.

Norrie FH has been way off. His BH has been superb

Nadal vs Alcatraz 2-1

Spoiler

H2H, after QF.

 

[aldeayeah]

Aw Cam told him "happy birthday" in the handshake. How wholesome.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

Even a dumb AC/DC song is like the chirping of birds compared to that earlier reggaeton crap.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Nadal vs Alcatraz 2-1

No, the young gun will get his revenge tomorrow. He’s ready.

 

[Legend of Borg]

Would this on-court birthday celebration have even happened if he lost this match?

 

[UnderratedSlam]

In the changing room, yes. That was the plan.

 

[Legend of Borg]

In the changing room, yes. That was the plan.

That makes sense.

I thought the same haha

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Don’t think so. We seen this time and time again.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

So relieved. That second set tiebreak was a heartbreaker for me. I am so pleased that Carlos won on his birthday!

I know that Carlos can win tomorrow but it won't be easy. The third time will be the charm. Vamos Carlos!

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

He lost last year and they did a cake presentation.

[ewiewp]

Even if not his favourite clay, the guy won this tournament 5 damn times and also recently AO at fast HC, the rest he can overcome with experience and superior mentality.

yeah I would bet on Rafa too.
But Rafa may need to pace himself too.
Madrid is not a good prep to RG. Rome is.
