First time French Open CHAMPION Carlos Alcaraz reflects on his magical win 🏆

[@josedelgado4790]

I became a full-time tennis watcher/fan because of this kid. He made me excited for this sport again, congrats kid you deserve it.

[@peace4myheart]

You mean Nadal, Federer, or Djokovic didn't excite you before??? Both Nadal and Djokovic are still playing, though it might be Nadal's last year.

[@iamdee2615]

Same here, if he’s not in the tournament I am relax lol... I feel anxious watching him play and at the same time I meditate... and pray for him lol

[@suchencys]

@@peace4myheart big3 is not all about tennis and people can have their own preferences, I think it is quite personal, isn't it? I became a tennis fan because of Andrew Agassi and I've been watching tons of tennis matches since then, but I am a fan of Andy Murray. I don't think it is something that shall be questioned, cuz it is just my pick.

I’m a Sinner fan first but Carlitos is such a likeable guy and such a deserving winner 🏆 congrats!!!

[@STRAWYB]

The honesty of Carlos Alcatraz is refreshing. He speaks his dreams and said what he thinks and wants. He speaks his future into being.

[@olivoil2002]

Alcaraz is so likeable, he and Sinner made me excited for the post-Big Three era after the dreadful Zverev/Thiem US Open final back in 2020. 3 GS at barely 21 is incredible and there will be many more to come. 🇪🇸🏆👏

[@bananablood2031]

Zverev/Thiem/Tsitsipas/Medvedev "new gen" era was quite disappointing tbh, but yeah, now with Sinner and Alcaraz, wow!!

Very charismatic, humble young man. What a great example for our kids.

Why can’t some people just be happy for Alcaraz for winning his third grand slam titles. Instead they just pick on him and compare him with other great players and say he can never be as great as those great players.

[@brendajohnson5525]

That’s because these people are jealous and bitter and can’t stop worshiping the past.

[@curaticac5391]

He gives his fans palpitations and heartache 😉! Bravo, Carlitos!!!

[@CarmenBanks-vt4yt]

Yah, I get so excited when he wins & certainly disappointed when he loses, more so when he gets injured. I am an avid tennis fan and among the women's side, I ever love is Steffi Graf, & from the men's side throughout the years it is Carlos Alcaraz I find so endearing both as a player & individual young man. I am a senior, lady from Philippines and have lived in UK for many years it is where I started to love watching international tennis matches, ATP & Grand Slams.

[@marilyn-io4sy]

Carlos is the best. He’s so humble and enjoys the game so much and makes all of us enjoy it right along with him with his smiles and laughter. I don’t miss a match that he plays. He is so good for tennis and we are so lucky to have him in this sport.

[@radharaghavan177]

Congrats Carlos 🇪🇸 💪 An All-Time great tennis player already at 21 years of age age.

[@ivoplsek]

if he does not get injured and his body holds up (we never know), you are looking probably at someone who will be very very high in the historical rankings once he is done. At the age of 21 years, already now, he's overshadowed some of the legends of the sport.

[@streetspirit956]

Is he going to have the longevity of the big 3 though? I would suggest probably not given how often he has been injured already.

[@ivoplsek]

@@streetspirit956 yeah, I tend to agree. That is a big question mark. But still he has already now more grand slams than Michael Chang, Hewitt, Roddick, Ivanisevic, Kafelnikov, Nastase...etc. etc. you get my point. He's already achieved, in tennis terms, a lot. He's on par now with Murray, Gustavo Kuerten and Arthur Ashe. And these have already legendary status in the sport (Murray will get there once he retires).

[@curtosdetreino]

im quite sure after he confirmed his serve after 1-1 in the 5th he looked at ferrero and muttered 'ahora', and he really did break zverev's serve, that was awesome

[@sportsview247]

Well deserved... he's "King of the DropShot" for me and that's one reason he is so good on all surfaces... he's fearless and confident in his style...he mixes it up and takes control of the tempo and flow of the match.

[@CarmenBanks-vt4yt]

Also, his lobs are astonishing!

[@gregoirep188]

Seeing the big 3 slowly retire, I was afraid it would leave space to some less interesting, inspiring players at the top - and I would be gradually less interested in this sport. Surely Carlos and Jannik are not the only ones fueling it, but the two of them are already enough to keep the flame of this sport burning in my heart. Thank you!

I used to be a big Zverev fan but no more. It was his abilities on clay for such a tall player that got me excited about him. It must've taken so much work to get to that level, but I'm happy Carlos won. Zverev puts me off.

I knew he would have a great when first saw a point he played in early 2022 but never thought he would be amazing so soon. John Mcenroe said after Alcaraz won against Korda in the 3rd round that he could win the tournament he was right. I like the way he played against Korda and Felix not making too many unforced errors and hitting ball good and felt he could win the whole thing.

Hmm? I listen to the whole interview to get Carlos take on the blown call at a critical moment in the match. I guess they must have been instructed that question is off limits. I wanted to see if he believes that hawkeye should have been used. You really have no idea how that could have impacted the last set. It drives me crazy that this is the only major tournament that refuses to use it. Carlos is phenomenal, no doubt, and probably wins the match anyway. But why not make sure the calls are correct. Both players work incredibly hard to get to the final, it's just unfortunate. Hoping they change that in the future!!

AO is another story, more likely that one is for Sinner. And Wimbledon too. I think he has good opportunity at the USO

[@brendajohnson5525]

@@usermatisse Carlos won Wimbledon last year. What makes you think he won't defend it? Do you assign slams to players? You have no idea who will win.

[@usermatisse]

@@pauljohnson6019 naah that one will be won by Sinner. It was clear at the RG, with a sinner at 70% because coming from 3 weeks of 0 training because of the hip issue he manage to bring Alcaraz on his fav surface to 5th set and to risk to win in 3 or 4. True that also Alcaraz had an issue to his arm, but he trained the rest of the body in those 4 weeks, while Sinner had a complete stop from doctors because of the hip and because of an influenza, so basically he lost 3kg of muscle mass. Of course we'll never know how would have gone with Sinner not coming back from an injury, but if you watched the semi, it was pretty clear that physically Sinner wasn't ok (like for example in Australia) from 4th set onwards, which is for sure due to the injury he got through. Without that he would have served much better and well, maybe he would have lost anyway, but it would have been much tighter. Anyway, Alcaraz is so talented, it would be if they win 2 slams each this year

[@usermatisse]

@@brendajohnson5525 it is difficult, very difficult to defend a title two times in a row, statistically speaking as well. We'll see in less than a month, anyway the winner is either Alcaraz or Sinner, no others in my opinion. On a court so quick like Wimbledon, in my opinion Sinner will win this time. From last year he did incredible improvements on serve, and all fundamentals
