Everyone loves Alcaraz's insane power hitting, but what really impressed me was his defense. Towards the end Tiafoe was not getting any free points. On multiple occasions he hit a 130 mph serve, a massive +1, and a deft drop-volley, only for Alcaraz to come screeching in for the pass. Alcaraz might have the world record for most sliding in a hard-court match.

[@Bountiful_Events]

It shows the quality of this match and the sinner match that the extended highlights were so long.

[@mikethebeginner]

I’ve been watching tennis for 50+ years and let me just say that this is tennis skill at a VERY high level. One thing Frances could learn is when he’s way out of position, don’t hit it with so much pace-hit more of a floater to give himself time to get back in position. The reaction time of Alcaraz combined with such magical racquet skill is almost otherworldly.

[@sw_golf]

Insane 4th set from Tiafoe

[@GottuboiBeachVolleyball]

The lob accuracy hits by that kid were ridiculous. They both played phenomenal rallies. Carlos Alcaraz remind me of Michael Chang.

[@superjarri]

Tiafoe could take the match if he were more consistend with his serve. He has an amazing forehand as well. The thing is Alcaraz keeps improving tournament after tournament. At his current level he can win everything but he keeps growing, and that's scary.

[@MrClebophd]

Tiafoe looked both mentally and physically exhausted in the final set. He also had a dip in performance in the third set. With experience, and possibly more physical conditioning, Tiafoe will be a challenger for every grand slam, except perhaps the Paris clay.

[@superjarri]

@@MrClebophd I Agree, those are the main reasons why his serve fell of a cliff. You don't forget how to serve. He even went down to a 20% first services, which is totally unacceptable for a pro player. Despite that, he has de quality and tools to win, for sure.

It was the same with Sinner. Had he served better he would have won in 4 sets

Tiafoe put up a far better fight against Alcaraz than Ruud (and I like Ruud's style of play and sportsmanship). I don't know about Sinner tho...

[@Melody-kv6dm]

What about Sinner? He appeared to me the only player right now that can challenge Alcaraz of all the players out there now. He almost won but for Alcaraz's mental strength and self-belief

[@BillyBob-xi9ih]

Depends on how you look at it, I mean Ruud did win a set 6-2, and Tiafoe got breadsticked in a set

[@ROYAL_REBEL]

Tiafoe is strong & solid. Alcaraz is more agile & has more stamina than Tiafoe, & that makes him a well rounded player.

[@akgo2684]

Alcaraz is amazing

[@batmon696]

Oh Alcaraz...love the guy and his game is huge. The next big thing. He just NEEDS to convert more break points and more efficiently. I know that is a lot to ask and he is only 19, but plz bring your A-game tomorrow!

[@Alboravin]

Yep! I think this is the last major improvement left for him along with a more consistent first serve and a better adaptation to grass courts for Wimbledon. He just needs to not overthink it and not get cute on some of these break points. Improve the shot selection and maintain focus better on the crucial points, and play with more margin of error when necessary. He doesn’t have to go for 100% all the time on those shots that would have been a winner to earn him a successful break of serve. Once he figures that out, and just goes for 80% to avoid the unforced error and bag a crucial winner, it’s going to be scary to play against him. I think it will all come together with time and we’ll see something even more special than what we’re seeing now, in 2-3 years when he’s 21/22 and entering his prime.

[@carsoncheeley2983]

@@Alboravin I feel like he should keep playing those low percentage shots, just like federer did throughout his career; that’s in part what made his game so beautiful.

[@-chua6889]

I think both sides has learned many things in this encounter. IMO should be chosen as one of classic matches in US Open. I like Tiafoe's return game against Alcaraz's serve as his return response time is short as he stands nearer to front, perhaps Tiafoe can read Alcaraz's serve well. As usual Alcaraz presented athletic nature and great defense, and seems Alcaraz made some favorable mind progress on the pressure of the crowd, although still made some errors during some crucial points. So many winning points from both sides. I can say either side deserved the win. Quite a match.

Carlos practically is this the Federer/Nadal hybrid and got a dose of Delpotro power

[@batmon696]

I'd also add Djoker's flexibility, clutchness, and return ability

[@levronyames6680]

Alcaraz is himself, not any hybrid of the Big 3. He has completely unique characteristics like the abundance of use of the drop shots (no Big 3 player uses the drop shot as much as Alcaraz). Yeah in some aspects he may remember the Big 3 (defense and mental strength of Nadal, powerful strkes and aggresive game of Federer, flexibility of Novak, etc.) but he has unique characteristics.

[@joshheinink]

He is every goat in 1

[@z1az285]

Once in a generation talent. His backhand is different from Djokovic but his sliding BH crosscourt passes on clay, once on grass is eerily reminiscent of Novak. His grip is semi western, more in the Nadal mold and forehand has more topspin, but when he flattens it out definitely looks like Federer. But I also think he attacks the net more than Federer does. Definitely more natural than Roger was at 19. His touch on drop shots and lobs though is surreal. Can't teach this. It's a gift. Plus he is an incredible athlete.

[@steelermia]

[@jonathanlim7091]

Frances tried his best, but in the end Alcaraz had more athleticism and hit with more margins than Frances. What could Frances had done better? For one, the first serve % at 47% is much too low and I wonder what would have been the score line had the first serve % been 60% with the 70% points won on first serve being maintained. This is only a what if.

[@jontakaki503]

Alcaraz might be impressive, but it wasn't with ease he reached the final. Several 5 sets matches that could have gone either way goes to show he has a long way to go to be a dominant force. A Sampras, Federer or Nadal at their peak would have dismissed a Tiafoe or Sinner in straight sets. He's only 19, so let's hope he does indeed have a long way to go and lots of room for improvement. Tennis hasn't had a new Nadal or Federer in 20 years!! The new gen has been boring to watch, so let's hope we get Alcaraz and the emergence of a true rival in the next couple years, that we haven't heard of yet.

[@levronyames6680]
