that second serve return. Argh. Now twelve min

 

[kskate2]

what the heck was that shot?

 

[tented]

You’ve gotta be kidding! What a point to set up MP#3

 

[kskate2]

mp 3

 

[Federberg]

what a point!!

 

[kskate2]

an error on the last 2 mp's

 

[tented]

9th deuce. Wow …

 

[tented]

Wow, and now a TB. This is nuts.

 

[kskate2]

finally a hold from Tommy. Charlie w/ more failed BP's

 

[kskate2]

followed by two early errors in the TB. Tommy 3-0

 

[tented]

These body serves are killing Alcaraz.

 

[Fiero425]

down 3-1 in the 2nd. Looks like an early trip to NY for Stanimal

Who TF is Max Purcell? I had to look him up to make sure he wasn't a son of Mel Purcell! Mel's Swedish with a Southern drawl after Georgia Bulldog days playing college tennis in the 70's! It appears Max is Australian so no relation!

 

[kskate2]

These body serves are killing Alcaraz.

he should be ready for them, but he's not adjusting well at all. More errors. 5-0

 

[tented]

5-0 — looks like we’re going 3, short of a near miracle.

EDIT: 6-0 at the changeover.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Tommy 5-0 WTH Alcaraz?.............this match has already done my head in

 

[kskate2]

and a bagel in the TB. Looks like Chuck needs those carbs.

 

[tented]

Not. One. Point in the TB.

 

[Kieran]

Jean Paul Sartre once said, ‘hell is other people’. I don’t think he intentionally forgot to include the word tennis in there somewhere too..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That was a disgraceful TB Alcaraz, not winning a single point,
Cant keep using the excuse of the wind
Players have to adjust their games accordingly

 

[kskate2]

Not. One. Point in the TB.

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
