Much better than Alcatraz from the very first point. Dont agree with that. Absolutely thought Alcaraz was finding his game and winning this at the start of the third 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marla Singer Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 The luck. Ruud is the last hope. Imagine a Djokovic vs Zverev final. I never thought I would root for Djokovic breaking the slam record but I may end up doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride4jc1222 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Philippoussis at 1999 Wimbledon was worse than Zverev last year or Carlos today. I'm a huge Sampras fan, but I have to admit that Mark was dominating him that day until the untimely injury. I'll always wonder what if Mark never gets injured that day.

The main question is: Does Carlos have the physical fitness to keep this intensity needed to beat Djoker for 5 hours in a GS? We got the answer… We’re witnessing 36-year-old Djoker is physically outlasting 20-year-old next great hope Of course I believe Carlos will keep improving his physical fitness and solve this one day.

He has to improve both his physical fitness and mental strength to have a chance against Djoker in a GS match next time. You know damn well Djoker will make sure the match will last at least 5 hours long. It will never be easy to beat him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Novak is different, but the match yesterday wasnt insanely physical or anything. Was a damn shame the match ended like that Anyway. Can Muchova wake up please.

pride4jc1222 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Regarding Carlos Alcaraz, only time will tell. For all we know, Carlos may have already peaked and in 20 years time, we may be looking back at the Djokovic match in the same light as Hewitt-Agassi in the 2002 US Open semifinals. Hewitt was 21 and already won 2 slams. Nobody would have thought that day that Hewitt would never win another slam.
