2023 US Open SF: Alcaraz vs. Medvedev

[tented]

What a great first point on M’s serve.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a point Charly taking the baseline away from Meddy

 

[Moxie]

Oh, Carlos!

 

[tented]

I can’t believe Medvedev is already 27.

 

[Moxie]

OMG, I did think he was 25.

 

[tented]

Charly eliciting DFs with his return position inside the baseline.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

T a good tactic

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddy has 3 DFs akready

 

[Moxie]

He's already feeling the pressure.

 

[tented]

This is turning into a long game.

 

[Moxie]

He knows he has to have a good serving night, so he's going for it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Finnally Meddy holds he found his 1st serve which will be crucial for Meddy

 

[Moxie]

He gets through.

 

[tented]

There it is — the drop shot.

 

[tented]

I hope Ben Shelton is watching to learn when/how to deploy that shot.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

T Agree Ben could learn a lot from Charly also the disguise he has on drop shots

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There is the all court game of Charly

 

[tented]

There’s such a natural assuredness with Charly. You’d almost swear he was born with the ability to play this level.

 

[tented]

I got distracted — was that another DF?

 

[Moxie]

No..into the net. Unless I was distracted by Jon Bon Jovi.
