Frances played the best match of the year and one of the best matches of his career. He played so cleanly and focused. Kudos to Alcaraz for withstanding the pressure. Frances took two sets from Carlos. The most from any other opponent Carlitos faced in 2024 Wimbledon including Novak whom he beat in straight sets in the final. Frances played great. Just look at the stats.

[@milanavujicic6854]

No, he didn't, he made a lot of mistakes that cost him an almost won match.

[@cole7726]

​@@milanavujicic6854 What match this year was better than this from Tiafoe

[@fernandoatun]

Tiafoe played well until the tie brake on the 4th . From there onwards Alcaraz imposed and lowered performance…

[@Mc-kk4fd]

Tiafoe is a great player but today it was alcaraz who did very bad until the tie break, much worst than his usual.

[@pureffm]

@@milanavujicic6854 Not true. Tiafoe ended with 39 winners to 30 unforced. For a 5 set match, that only 6 unforced per set! He did 10, 6, 4, 4 and 6. So he played at a great level. But he ran out of gas in the 5th. It is hard to maintain that intensity over 5 sets. It is just that Carlos started serving much better!

[@kieranrankie203]

Alcaraz is now 12-1 in fifth set deciders. What an absolute beast! He didn't play so well today but really stepped up his game at 6-6 in the 4th when it mattered.

Especially with Djokovic and Nadal, they often had to dig in to win... mainly because they were playing against each other, Fed and Murray. 2012 AO final comes to mind, as well as Djokovic's several comebacks against Fed (USO Fed's match point on serve, Wimbledon 2019)

Yes, respect but WHEN is he going to pull through when it really matters - or will he always be a "Top 20" player - was really hoping he could be the next US star...that actually wins a grand slam.
