[@FATCAP]

Alcaraz is the new Federer Sinner is the new Djokovic Who will be the next Nadal?😮

[@SkySushii]

​​@@FATCAPObviously each player is unique and we saw how the Federer comparisons affected Dimitrov at times, but as fans we can't help a little fun. For me, I saw Alcaraz as the new Nadal for his passionate never-say-die personality and sheer speed on the court. (But really he has elements of all of the Big 3's tennis) Sinner was most Federer-like due to his calm demeanor and much improved serve (completely different play styles though, which is closer to Djokovic) And for a while Rune kinda filled the Djokovic role as the guy who arrived after the other two, good backhand and return, not afraid to work up the crowd... Hope he re-finds the form he started showing end of 2022 and through 2023

[@bpure2560]

@luisendymion9080 I don't think Draper was playing his best tennis due to lack of match practice and pre AO tournaments due to injury in the pre season. I think that's why he was taken to 5 sets 3 matches in a row.

[@bpure2560]

[@tiffanydesousagoncalves3419]

I would describe Carlos Alcaraz as a poetic player. Very graceful, technical almost like a dance but a sort of style that is classic like ballet. i see the delicate but i also feel the power and the strength. He is certainly an all-rounder, a complete player as they say, and I have a feeling he will outlast most of the youngins around his age. Vamos Carlitos!

[@luisendymion9080]

This shows a lot in his net game. Not only volleys well, but also aesthetically which is a plus for the eyes and probably for the body. And those half-volleys... man what a sight It's also true he's had many injuries already.

I said before. Jack has put in a great effort this week but he's been lucky that his last two matches were at night. I'm not sure he'd have even got to this stage if they'd been in the heat of day. We still don't know how well he can handle the heat when he is not exhausted like today. Still, he is a fighter and deserves credit for making it to this match.

[@calussy8040]

Yep, thats still the worry with Draper for me, once he gets over the heat exhaustion problems I think he will become a strong top 10 player, but maybe that's just my British bias.

Alcaraz needs to raise the level for QF. He is playing incredible when the score is favourable, but when the match get tense, as for closing the first set he start to make a lot of errors, that of course you cant see in highlights. I dont know if it is confidence or if he try to be more conservative and he start doing strange errors for his level.. but hope he can fix it for the next match

[@al1976-v7m]

Yeah he can get emotional, and the time violation by the umpire rattled him for a while.

What’s noticeable is Gwen Draper is stretched, he’s happy to return it to the centre of the court and this allows Alcaraz to dominate. He needs to work on getting the ball back in play but with more on it. Easy to say, not so easy to do but without it, Alcaraz can play within himself and control the rally.

Sin embargo Nole siempre es un rival durísimo, para Carlos, para Sinner o para cualquiera. Sinner tiene a Rune y De Minaur/Shelton y Alcaraz a Nole y Zverev (a un nivel brutal también).
