AwakenBeerus needs to take a break from all the predicting and let us enjoy the game in peace. I don't need someone telling me what's gonna happen next-I just wanna watch and see for myself.

Alcaraz has set a benchmark, with others like Federer, which sets an example on true sportsmanship. He looked Rublev in the eyes and was genuine about his praise.

Hmmm what’s your basis for true sportsmanship? Federer was a great player, and that’s about it. I don’t think I would consider him any other way! What benchmark has Alcaraz set lol? There is so much hype these days for everything. Only 3 GOATS exist as far as mens tennis is concerned Roger, Rafael and Novak and that’s it. To match them someone needs to be born or someone who’s still less than 5 yrs old already going at it with a tennis raquet

[@ehsanmokhtar5018]

The crowds there are bias. I understand Alcaraz will always be a favorite in any tournaments, but the crowds were so unfair during Alcaraz's matches. They are almost one sided towards Alcaraz. Especially during Alcaraz - Struff match. They almost did not cheer at all when Struff won points. It would be nice if they could be a little nicer and cheer where it is due. It makes me wanting Alcaraz to lose matches

[@AbraXas-bi9ux]

Madrid crowd is famous to be very biased. i was there last year and it felt to be like in a fascist football arena. with shoutings like Viva España etc. i mean, in no other country you see that at a tennis event…

[@IrfanZuberi1980]

Mighty impressed with the way Rublev held it together after dropping the first set… years of rigorous practice and some mental maturity finally seems to be paying off dividends! 😊 TBH, I expected Cerundolo to brush aside Fritz on clay… considering he’ll play Rublev next, seems unlikely that he’ll have a better result than reaching the semis!

[@alborzajeli768]

Well done Rublev, that's what he can do when he works on his mental game and simply keeps his cool throughout! And congrats to Taylor as well, very impressive win and hitting in general! Good to see him improving on clay too :) he just needs to work on his explosiveness/pace a little as he still looks incredibly vulnerable to drop-shots, but aside from that everything else is looking solid a hell!

[@junkdogsan7068]

01:23 bro Rublev fighting to maintain composed, good for him

[@Cfitz240]

This was a showcase of Alcaraz's biggest weakness -- an impatience that causes him to go for low-percentage plays too early. @2:22 an off-balance drop-shot going entirely against his body's momentum; @2:48 an insane top-spin forehand trying to paint the side-line against his body's momentum; @5:40, this half-hearted rush to the net when staying at the baseline would have set him up for a power forehand. Opponents with a powerful counter-punch (most notably Sinner, but in this case Rublev) just wait for his bad decision and capitalize on it, then press advantage when he loses his confidence in those crazy shots. On the contrary, his patience in the rally at @4:49, lulling Rublev into a backhand rally before opting for the inside-out drop-shot, shows excellent poise. Alc, statistically, does so well in long rallies -- especially in clutch points, he has to develop that patience.

About time you posted the Fritz highlight. Were you keeping it a secret? You wouldn’t even know the guy was in the tournament.

[@diegofrancescocalvisi6935]

Congratulations to Rublev and Fritz! Nonetheless, I think that actual tennis is becoming a survival game. Every tennis player is undergoing physical exhaustion and deterioration, and dominance is dictated more than ever by avoiding injuries. The finalists of the week lose the following weeks in the first rounds. For this reason, I think that was somehow to be expected the Rublev's victory against Carlitos after Rublev being disastrous for one month, that Tsitsipas and Ruud compete for two titles and then get eliminated by second-line players in Madrid, that Sinner gets crippled by injuries and Félix Auger-Aliassime reaches the semifinal after numerous losses, etc.

[@HoaPhatVTNN]

Ancaraz là một tay vợt trẻ mạnh mẽ, có tiềm năng của Tây ban nha, và kế vị Nadal trong tương lai. Nhưng anh ấy có yếu điểm là, mỗi khi bị cuốn vào lối đánh nhanh của đối thủ thì anh ấy luôn bị thua. Anh ấy cần làm chủ bằng cách chơi chậm lại để phát huy được những đường bóng uy lực, chính xác và bất ngờ thì mới có thể làm chủ cuộc chơi và thắng đối thủ được. Đồng thời khi đối thủ giao bóng mạnh và nhanh, vì đứng gần sân nên anh ấy không có đủ thời gian đỡ giao bóng. anh ấy nên đưng xa như Nadal để có đủ thời gian đỡ giao bóng.

[@Olgod2004]

I will say, although Taylor Fritz’s draw isn’t exactly insanely high in quality, aside from the in form cerundelo, he has been hitting the ball very good this tournament. Maybe he is returning to his form? Or at the very least, making the necessary steps to improve again.
