The Carreno Busta one well deserved the first place. The tweener just when the clock reaches 3 hours, the fact that it was a match point, De Minaur's reaction...everything was there. But Alcaraz's behind-the-back should have been ranked higher IMO.

[@vep233]

It’s not THAT incredible truly… all others deserve to be above IMO (Garcia’s point is way too high in the ranking though)

[@remnant24]

The order is the reverse of what it should be pretty much. Probably whoever put this together thinks 10 = best.

[@comeonnow78]

Nah bro, behind the back shot has been done before (still very impressive) + it wasn’t an important point particularly compared to PCB winning the match with a tweener.

[@itdenelll]

That tweener and clock sych was way too real.

[@glyberajones4031]

Really ?? Most top players would have put the smash away

[@wickedpawn5437]

3 of the 10 top points by Alcaraz, all won by him. We'll never see a match winning point like Carreno's hotdog. Historic US Open.

[@rafarequeni822]

It's more accidental than anything... Alcaraz runs to his right, the ball goes to his back and he improvises. It's nice, but it's not that different to a lucky net cord.

[@hammadkashif7358]

Yeah fr lol

[@cddb5408]

@Romain Mj It's probably because although it was a useful shot it wasn't a direct winner. He needed another shot to win the point so the skilful shots that were also winners will be ranked higher.

YUP ....he's young AND understands the game .....and most importantly ....HAS THE LEGS!!! GREAT VIDEO SUMMARY OF THESE INCREDIBLE RALLIES!!!! The FIRST video of Alcaraz, I had watched and thought that was amazing ....then the others .....WOW. ALL were truly levitating ....except for the Kyrgios ....only because it's Kyrgios. I'm not going to give ANY credit to ANY player who has such a poor and disdain attitude. Just can't give any applause to this guy no matter what he does on the court ...or off the court. HOWEVER, I have never been able to get a grip of the fact that the ball does NOT have to over the net. Just so long as it drops into the opponents side is all that is required. The 6th clip is the example of this. .

[@hg82met]

Alcaraz's behind-the-back shot, placed number 10, was really the point of the tournament.

[@jsalinasbarros]

It's a fast reaction that sinner couldn't handle in his favour; the top 5 are more elaborated (and strategic) than a lucky shot.

[@just2share]

@@jsalinasbarros not just lucky... I think except Kyrgios none else would of save that ball, hitting it behind the back.

[@obscurereference6298]

if you think any of those points aren't worthy of being here then you got some issues man. Caring about the order of them in this spot is pretty weak.

[@jsalinasbarros]

@@just2share I know man, it's awesome still; all i was saying, take a look at the shot, the ball goes right in the center...that is the main difference with the other points, more challenging and calculated.

[@theintentionalist]

Just to have the right grip, footwork, and leap all in the right position and height then the recover and explode to a sliding Novak two-hander was extraordinary. It's not just the speed, his anticipation is mutant-like.

So many fantastic moments, and a lot of them are Alcaraz! He was brilliant here! Though that Carreno Busta match point has to be one of the best things I've ever seen! 🤩

[@ruzakrist7315]

There should be way more points included in this top 10 form the Sinner - Alcaraz match. That was one of the best matches in the last 50 years.

[@robertsterner2145]

The entire match was a highlight reel. The Borg-McEnroe and Federer-Nadal Wimbledon matches were probably better because the stakes were higher, but they weren't better by much.(Just remembered a great Aussie Open final, too. But Alcaraz-Sinner was still top 5)

Anyone who has played tennis knows that you can not hit the ball that far of the net in a such an unorthodox way as Alcaraz does in #10 and expect anything decent but he even managed to win the point, that point deserved #1

[@carla55555]

This US Open was amazing!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@gmmgmmg]

[@davidedisilvestro3255]

To me the n.5 should be n.1 by Alcaraz. Tiafoe with the first backhand recovery down the line has the point in his hands. I just can't believe Carlos reached that ball. Maybe the point of the career so far

[@albertocanadacarril4175]

Totally agree

[@comeonnow78]

[@viksinha5410]

I was starting to lose interest in tennis over the last 2 years because I was really disappointed in Medvedev Zverev and Tsitsipas, who have repeatedly allowed themselves to be bullied by 35-year-olds. But after watching Sinner, Ruud, and Alcaraz this tournament, I think that tennis is in safe hands (I hope I didn't jinx it).

[@spooky1304]

Bullied..?

[@heimda1]

Aha, just don't let Novak play, wait until Rafael finally suffers from injuries and cannot show his tennis and you will see new champions :)

[@pomerlain8924]

@@spooky1304 The fact that Tsitsipas couldn't bury a 34-year-old Djokovic in the 21 FO final with a two set lead and then got a bagel from him in this year's Rome final. The fact that Medvedev couldn't put away a 35-year-old Nadal up 2-sets and having 3-2 15-40 in the third and not converting. The fact that Zverev might not even be injured if he could have closed out the first set TB in his FO SF against a recently turned 36-year-old Nadal up 6-3 and then served out the second set at 5-3, or if he could have held his nerve against Djokovic in last year's USO SF. They can all beat Nadal and Djokovic in best of 3 formats in Masters events. But when it's on the line in best of 5 majors, they gag hard.

By your rationale, the likes of Boris Becker, Martina Hingis and Sharapova were losers.

@@remnant24 Did not call them losers. That was you being presumptuous. Sharapova and Becker were great talents but nobody considers that the Becker era or the Sharapova era. It was the Sampras and Serena era. Tennis always has an elite player when it’s going well. The outlier was having 4 elite players at the same time. But right now it is definitely a transitional period, and for that reason it really never stopped by the Serena era until she officially retired.

@@remnant24 The ladies younger generations? Who? Barty took over for like a year or 2 and then she retired. Osaka is lazy and she is so inconsistent.
