[@antoniomoncada1833]

Not too long ago Carlos said that he would have loved to play against Roger Federer at least once in his life. I think today he got a little taste of what playing Roger Federer would feel like. Grigor's style is the closest thing to Roger we have on tour now and today he was godlike. He moved so smoothly, was aggressive every time he had the chance to, but yet very elegant. I love both of them, but it feels so good watching Grigor expressing this level of tennis.

This was an incredible match on many levels. First Dimitrov truly played out of his mind. It was unbelievable. But when Alcaraz was down a break in the second set at 1-4, it seemed like something really clicked, and suddenly, in true Alcaraz fashion, he raised his level (I mean it was like he got a video game style power up!) and just minutes later it was 4-4. I was certain Alcaraz would cruise to victory. The fact that Dimitrov held him off after the start of a comeback like that was truly unbelievable. And Alcaraz was absolutely right that his only mistake was not making what we change he made at 1-4 earlier in the match.

[@fabriziomanni6890]

The biggest limitation for many fans, and even the journalists themselves, is that they don't understand that the performances of various players depend heavily on the level and characteristics of the opponents they face, the level of play of both players in that match, and especially the type of surface on which they play. The cement surface at Indian Wells, for example, enhances Carlos's playing characteristics; it's a slower synthetic/cement compared to others, where the ball bounces higher. However, when playing on faster or much faster synthetics, a player like Carlos struggles greatly against players like Jannik Sinner, Nole, Medvedev, and even Zverev. It depends a lot on the surfaces they play on: some surfaces favor certain players, and so on. It's a very simple concept, but it seems to elude even the journalists who interview the champions.
