The tide has changed for Catlos over the last 12 months, not just at the US Open. It is far easier on the way up to the top than to stay there. On the way up, every loss is a learning experience & every win propels you forward. Once you get to the top, expectations of yourself (others) change & there is more pressure. Any loss can feel like failure. Carlos is a smart young man with good people around him. I am confident he will acquire the mindset to continue to be a top player.

[@ladystarlightnyc]

I totally agree with your analysis on Alcaraz. I very much look forward to a more mature and controlled version of Alcaraz in the future. He's so amazing, but I find (what appears to be) his need for reassurance from his box and the crowd slightly irritating to be honest. Other players at his level don't have the extraordinary natural charisma that Alcaraz has, so they have had to learn how to self generate their emotional strength. I really think that Alcaraz just simply has never has to do this. I firmly believe he will figure it out.

[@Mzee1084]

I think he does need to learn to slow himself down a bit so he doesn't expend so much energy all the time when he doesn't need to.

I think it’s clear that this is the price you pay for playing the Olympics on clay right before the hard court swing. Novak always speaks like a champ he is. USO is always the grand slam with most upsets.

To win that metal in that match, on that court, against that opponent, after previous Olympic results, while having a career that literally put your country on the map.

Carlos is young; he'll learn. This is the passing of the torch. What's amazing is that from 2003 to 2023 - 21 years - the big 3 won almost 80% of all majors.

Alcaraz has won back to back Roland Garros and Wimbledon, silver medal at the olympics, so far man had a fantastic season, his loss at the us open dont surprise me at all packed schedule, switching 3 surffices in such short period of time, no surprise, there is still plenty of season left he won half the grand slam titles, that is fantastic season in my book. As for djokovic, he is 37 years old.... what are we talking about here 😂. Fact that he still plays at a high level is achivement in itself.

They tired. Alcaraz made 2 grand slam finals this year and won both. While also making the Olympic finals which he lost. Dudes 21 years old and is running around the court like Nadal used to which is tiring.

What happened to Djokovic (simply the GOAT): *recently* olimpic Champion at *37 years old* . What happened to Alcaraz (a brilliant new star): *recently* Roland Garros and Wimbledon Champion, and silver medal in Paris (Olimpic Games). This is what really happened to both of them. And finally *NO* match against an ATP Top 100 ranked player is exactly a piece of cake.

All true. Also, Alcaraz is 21. Because of Nadal, we think great players should be winning young (most don't). Djoker is 37. Because of Federer, we think great players should be winning when old (most don't). The Djoker generation benefitted from 10 years of weaker up-and-comers (Next Gen), but age comes for us all. 23-28 is physical prime, Sinner is now there, Alcaraz will be soon.

The problem I see with Alcaraz is the consistency of his game. I do not see him jet able to keep his high level during the season. He can play his best tennis and in the next tournament, his worst. I hope he improves in that aspect. Also I think he puts too much pressure on himself when people see him as favourite and that plays against him.

This is going to sound very strange, and out of left field, and of course I am just a remote fan with zero real information. But I think the problem of Carlos in this US Open had to do with his love life. I hear very little about his romantic entanglements, so this guess does not stem from rumors or suppositions. It’s just a feeling based on watching him. Nothing is quite so destabilizing to very young people as romance gone sideways. It can be very overwhelming when it happens. It can turn you upside down. It might even have been something transitory, that was happening to him that day or that week…perhaps even something an older more experienced person would not have been fazed by. Or it might have been something more elemental, more foundational. This is just a guess, just a feeling, and of course I might be wrong. But that’s my guess.
