2023 US Open SF: Alcaraz vs. Medvedev

[Moxie]

I get a pass for having to fight with my bloody stream at the same time. LOL.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

M can you watch it live on tv

 

[the AntiPusher]

Not like JC

 

[tented]

Well … that certainly makes things interesting.

 

[Moxie]

OK, we definitely have a match.

 

[nehmeth]

That was a relatively easy set. If Charlie can keep this up, I believe Med will fold.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay hopefully Charly will stop giving Meddy pace which he feeds off, bring him forward more often, mix up his shots slice etc

 

[the AntiPusher]

Meddy is tougher than Sasha and the big hair dude

 

[mrzz]

Alcaraz' touch volleys are pretty good, I'll give you that.

 

[Moxie]

@nehmeth If Medvedev folds being 2 sets to love up, he's really going to need a sports psychologist to recover.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

AP anyone is tougher than Sahsa lol

 

[tented]

Lol, so true, MM!

 

[Moxie]

@mrzz You are pretty hard to impress!

 

[mrzz]

Off course, I am a Federer fan

 

[nehmeth]

Mox, when someone ups their game so Daniil can’t play his? He starts to mess up. Oz 22 - he had the match and Rafa fought back..

 

[Moxie]

I know what you mean, but he did keep fighting. What I mean is that if he "folds" it would be really bad. He didn't fold in the Oz match. He just lost.

 

[nehmeth]

Folding in that the accuracy goes, the nerves kick in the ufe’s increase. I don’t mean he goes into a fetal ball at the service line.

 

[Moxie]

Yes, but he did fight to the end. That is NOT folding.

 

[nehmeth]

 

[Moxie]

He also didn't "fold" when he lost to Rafa in the USO final in 2017, I think it was. He fought to the end.
