Cincinnati Masters 2023, Ohio, US - ATP Masters 1000

That was a disgraceful TB Alcaraz, not winning a single point,

Such is life. It often happens when a player gets released from jail, he goes on a spree. Disgraceful is too strong a word.

Carlos should still win this match, but he’s playing nothing but final sets lately..

Wind is really playing a big part, but it is windy for both players. Terrible TB from Alcaraz.

But this is where it gets mental for Charlie. He has to remember who he is. #1 seed w/ 2 slam titles to his name. He has to start playing like he remembers his name and put that second set away. Let's see if he's ready to pull up his big boy pants

Or forget who his opponent is. The hoodoo isn’t that strong yet. They’ve only played 3 matches, and Carlos beat him in Miami. He can focus here and put Tommy Paul away.

He has to, or the oracles will tell us Tommy Paul will win the USO..

Charlie up a break, which means it’s time to get broken,

This is really a surprise, Stan played some vintage tennis against Tiafoe, tought he got this.

Well he is the No 1 player? his play of late on HC has been a lot to be desired, quite frankly, I am sticking with disgraceful, I expect more of him

Agree, though this tournament has been full of surprises Don, seeds going out in their 2nd round matches etc

Even great players have an off day. Disgraceful is too strong. It’s not like he’s tanking it..

I never said he was tanking, you know me he would get my Wrath if he did, also he dosent have to play like a highlight reel every match

As much as people're cheering Carlos on, it's a wonder he isn't heading to NY w/ all those UFE's & brks of serve blown to close the match out!

Yep. Kind of hard to forget a guy who's taken up residency in the front quadrant of your head.

He’s getting this shit out of the way brother. He’ll peak in NYC…that’s the plan anyway..

Tommys not fully in his head. Carlos had struggled against everyone since Wimbledon…

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I did pick Paul going on current form, ? but...................................

Tommys not fully in his head. Carlos had struggled against everyone since Wimbledon…

But not like he’s struggled against Tommy.

true. how many matches has he played since the grass? I know he won two matches on the clay at the Hopman cup.

 

[kskate2]

here we go again. an adventure on serve

His play in Toronto left a lot to be desired,

I thought Sinner was and would continue to be his main rival and protagonist! The constant 'fist clench" after every point won is so annoying!
