The Real Deal! Carlos Alcaraz vs Mackenzie McDonald - 2022 Western & Southern Open

[@wearetemporary]

What a great angle. I love watching tennis shot this way.

[@botanistmartian3954]

Thanks for the editing and wonderful angle! cheers to another quality video.

[@francissilva9822]

this is a much more enjoyable angle to watch tennis. Really get to see the different heights of shots

[@BasPronk]

Yes, when are the networks finally going to get it?

[@SportFlow]

no, it is too low. The television broadcast is 1000x better than this fan video

FANTASTIC video! I wish all matches were filmed at this level.

[@SportFlow]

you mean 1 consumer camera, no close up shots, no replays, no reactions, no side shots, no stats, no slow motions. That's how you want it?

[@tennisyouhou2191]

@@tennisyouhou2191 you settle for little

[@tennisyouhou2191]

@@SportFlow for me, all I want is realistic. I wanna just watch pros tennis at my height, no slow motions cuz I can analyze without it, no stats cuz i can note stats if I want, no replays because I don't like what I already saw lol. I know it's weird but I'm ok with it ^^

[@SportFlow]

​@@tennisyouhou2191 Ok, sorry if I've sounded a bit rude. Now I have understood you.

[@vethum]

Thanks for 4K60fps highlights from this court position. Looks absolutely stunning on wall-sized screen inside Apple Vision Pro. It almost feels like I'm in the stands watching this. 8K60fps would look even better. I can't believe tennis fans put up with 1080p25fps highlights from official channels.

[@notpickleball]

McDonald has great technique fundamentals -- but as the match shows, fundamentals can only take you so far against Alcaraz.

[@bobbyearles4230]

I was thinking the same thing. Mackie did almost nothing wrong. But Alcaraz is just on a different level.

[@alexpiper1115]

Alcaraz is fun to watch but players who want to improve can learn a lot from watching Mackie - particularly his footwork and court positioning is always in such a way that he gives himself options on the court. I love watching him play and his hands are magic at net.

[@bobbyearles4230]

@@alexpiper1115 great point. He really maximizes his ability. Some of the best footwork on the tour.

[@ryanmathewfriedman]

McDonald is an outstanding all-around player. Plays smart and with a lot of variety. Great to watch. Unfortunately he doesn't have any particular big weapon, which I think is what keeps him out of the top 30.

[@cavaleermountaineer3839]

There's a reason we call them "winners". It's the name of the game. Consistency is a stepping stone...

[@styleandsubstance2866]

Just love this angle - appreciate your work! Alcaraz is so exciting to watch

[@Koliflower]

Dude it's insane how a guy with a game as clean and quick as McDonald's still just gets powered off of the court by Alcaraz. I feel like you can definitely see the inspiration of Nadal behind Alcaraz's game. He seems mentally strong and has the ground strokes to go along with it. Honestly, he's quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

[@kakashihatake1029]

Hate to be that guy but I believe this is called glory seeking

[@Koliflower]

@@kakashihatake1029 Might be a little bit I'll admit. Probably just more that I'm such a huge rafa fan that I want to see another young tough spaniard take over the tour lol.

[@pawshands9706]

lus he possesses Roger's insatiable aggression. And always looking to come in. Not even Rafa nor Nole are that good at net

[@IronFudge]

Amazing how Carlos hits with so much spin and also power.

[@absolutelynothingtoseehere]

All the top people do.

[@beaudjangles]

Thanks for sharing this. Love this angle. I found myself thinking I might be able to have a small rally if it was a second serve maybe 10% of the time. Definitely easier to gauge at this viewing angle.

Carlitos es un fenómeno, fue a ganar el us open y lo ganó. Tuvo una seguidilla de batallas épicas en que estuvo al borde de la eliminación pero cumplió su objetivo. A menos que sufra algún contratiempo será protagonista por un buen tiempo...

[@jhl4430]

Great video! awesome angle to watch how players generating their power. Btw, Alcaraz is obviously on another level in this game!

[@whatamidoing855]

Awesome stuff

[@mikelee6894]

mackie is a really good player but alcaraz's power is next level

[@eLDYGames]

McDonald has such amazing feel around the net its insane. Still needs a lot more work if he wishes to beat Alcaraz.

Really like this angle. Much better than paid TV. I wonder why TV looks so slow

[@SportFlow]

oh dear, let's change multimillion dollar tv broadcast (15+ cameras) for just one static shot. Makes total sense.

[@scottzhou7182]

@@SportFlow 15+ cameras and yet birds eye view might as well be a game of pong. Anyone who appreciates tennis can appreciate having atleast more ground level footage overall, it's literally just cause harder to show sponsors they still run a birds eye view the majority of the time

@@blahkayonaFriday not gonna lie I completely disagree. Time and time again produces amazing matches in almost all tournaments. I mean us open he had 4 crazy games in a row. One of which being one of the best matches ever at us open

[@KarmaticEvolution]

@@ethanhicks5092 The quality of play is just not the same.

[@armleg8374]

In fairness, he is still only 19 years old. Nadal definitely became a world-beater very early in his career, but Federer and Djokovic were in their early- to mid-twenties before they started producing their best tennis. Will Alcaraz measure up to them? I don’t know, but I think it is too early to call him a disappointment

[@poten.nis0409]

[@hindAhaitaf]

Yo me gusta mucho el fútbol de tenis

[@joanisapro]

McDonald has the flattest forehand ever

[@MichaelSienkiewicz]

I think it really kills him because he gets pulled wide, hits a flat laser, and then doesn't have time to recover. He also can't take the ball as early as he could with more top. His flat backhand return on those kickers was great though -- it works really well there.

[@07TBoneMarcus]

McDonald was just worn out in the second set. Alcarez was in complete control.

[@vSnippi]

who was playing on centre court? surely a world No1 should technically have Centre court priority.

[@John67100]

he wasn't #1 as this moment lol

[@fraudeamplio1]

Would be better bit upper

[@morsinvicta2848]

Lmao Alcarez only 19 years old? Think his parents mixed some steroids in the milk because the dude looks 30.

[@Zac_Conti_Invests]

I think Mac just had the wrong game plan. He seemed to be wanting to keep the court closed. Which, i get, it's Alcaraz. But, in doing so, he wasn't able to keep the middle balls deep enough. Alcaraz would just open it on his own. I bet next time we see them play he will open the court up more and especially get into more bh to bh crosscourt rallies.

[@Nerdzombiedisco]

Jeezuz. Mac is top tier ex college...but Alcaraz is a beast.

[@pyromusic9]

Genio. Mackie is just too passive in rallies with Carlos. He's a very solid player but he doesn't have a mode where he's unbeatable like Federer. Hopefully Carlos can get close or beat Roger's record for most consecutive weeks at Number 1. Sick of these fluke number ones like Medvedev
