[@carrauntoohil86]

Zverev deserved that tonight. In the middle of the third set he was at 85% on first serves which is an insane stat. He didn't really give Alcaraz a chance to get into the match for a long time. Gonna be a great match against Medvedev, two competitive semi finals to look forward to.

[@castorix31]

Yes, but Alcaraz played really bad (many unforced errors, bad first serves, ...)

[@carrauntoohil86]

​@@castorix31both things are true, but Zverev put Alcaraz under big pressure those first two sets so he probably forced the errors. Maybe Alcaraz should have tried to stay in the rallies a little longer rather than going for too many winners, but in all honesty Zverev didn't let him get a look at a second serve for nearly 3 sets.

[@wimzswimz9843]

Unfortunately, he was chocked at 5-2 on 3rd set but ended up 6-7. Fortunately, he didn't disappoint me on 4th set. Anyway, thanks from djokovic cuz zverev has helped djokovic extend his world no. 1 while alcaraz can't take over djokovic's spot cuz it's been alcaraz's turn to defend so many points until french open 2024

[@afuabohulu1012]

I'm surprised they were doing that. Because I knew it could go anyway. Zverev has been serving amazingly. I'm happy he won. Alcaraz is young and needs to find a way outside being happy on the court because it won't always go that way. He needs to find his precision and tactics even when he's not happy

[@shraddhajoshi05]

It indeed was one of the best matches I've ever seen Zverev play. He really was great today 🎉😌

Sad for Alcaraz but i'm happy for Zverev, he can play really good and he deserve to win one slam (or more) minimum in his career

[@thabangaugustinehlalele]

So the Australian open media edited out the chat free free Palestine just before the interview. Talk about freedom of speech from the so call progressive country.

[@AD-nq2nz]

@@thabangaugustinehlalele What a terrible take. Palestine has nothing to do with the AO so why would the AO media include it in one of their interviews? If someone yelled discriminatory slurs before the interview, would you still suggest the AO media keep it in? If not, you've contradicted yourself because that's "limiting freedom of speech." Grow up.

[@wimzswimz9843]

But, i'm glad cuz alcaraz won't take over djokovic's position next week until french open 2024 cuz djokovic has passed through his hard journey to defend many points of champion of both adelaide 250 and australia open. Now it's alacaraz's turn to defend many points next week until french open 2024

[@thabangaugustinehlalele]

@@AD-nq2nz the chant free Palestine is not a discriminatory slur. It is a phrase used to show solidarity with oppressed people of Palestine. So your little analogy is flawed. Palestine has little to do with a lot of things. In case it flew over your head they live under apartheid and blockade. My comment yes reference Palestine but that is just an inside incident the crust of the matter is free speech. Which when convenient the western society will champion but when it is not, the very western society will remind people no right is absolutely. As your unfortunate comment proves.😉

[@Chrismay-qp4xj]

​@@thabangaugustinehlalelethe area actually belongs to the Jews. Palestinians were actually just Roman settlers. And if Israel doesn't defeat these religious terrorists then climate change will. so there is no reason to shout free palestine

[@imalwaysright]

I was going for Carlos, but Im happy for Zverev (maybe even more so). He dominated that match, withstood Carlo's comback, and still kept fighting and running around the court in spite of his fatigue and blisters. Then he rocks up to give another great interview, like he always does. Congratulations Sascha!

[@MoinMeister_187]

Spot on, couldnt have said it better myself. Alcaraz was the resounding favourite coming into the match but what Sascha served and played was unbelievable (yes carlos was maybe a bit stunned but that happens). What an effort to keep on fighting after losing that 3rd set having served for the match beforehand. Complete warrior

[@gracielac.p.reiser4320]

True,, he always gives great and natural interviews!!

[@saics]

I was also rooting for Carlos, but his opponent outplays him, then all the credit to Zverev. I hope Carlos gains more maturity. It seems he is more into entertaining the crowd or making spectacular plays than doing the simple boring things to win

[@andrealves4751]

So happy for Zverev! He played so well for 3 sets until the 5-3 in the 3set, he should have won in 3 sets. If he plays like he played until his serve got broken he can win Australian Open. Carlos is amazing but people they have to calm down because he doesn't have a great serve and leaves him vulnerable against players like Zverev or Medved. Right now Sinner is a better plater and problem solver than Carlos who play with his heart and not much with his head.

[@chuckfriebe843]

Plus, Carlos’ coach was missing. That’s the only way he wins is to look at his box and get advice from Ferrer. If he played before coaching was allowed, he wouldn’t be as successful as he is because he’d have to figure things out himself. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[@manscharmmsn9414]

Very well said Sverev ❤

[@HaleG9]

Finally!

[@imalwaysright]

Zverev is right yet again about the Aussie crowd - it's the best tennis crowd. It's the small number of loud bogans, hooligans, and fake tennis fans/trolls that have given the AO crowd a bad name.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

I really think they should stop asking players about their injuries during the interviews. It can give their opponents some information for their upcoming match. For example, if it’s his feet, I’d want to make him run. Right wrist? Let’s hit more forehands. Keep it quiet!
