What Carlos Just Did At Wimbledon Was Truly Ridiculous...

I break down Carlos Alcaraz's incredible 2024 Wimbledon title defense. I analyze his matches from the tricky first round against Mark Lajal to his straight-sets victory over Novak Djokovic in the final. We'll explore fascinating new stats like "In Attack" and "Shot Quality" that Wimbledon introduced this year, and discuss how Alcaraz's performance compares to his 2023 run. How do you think this second Wimbledon title will impact Carlitos' quest to regain the world number one ranking? And what does his dominant win over Djokovic tell us about the changing of the guard in men's tennis?

It's crazy to see how difficult Alcaraz's draw was compared to Novak's.

[@Flitampare]

He has all the talent, its joyful to watch, its a great guy on and off the court, and he has the mentality of a true champion. We are so lucky to witness the begining of Alcaraz legacy.

Crazy thing is that Alcaraz has never lost a grand slam match when up either 2-0 or 2-1. If anyone wants to beat Alcaraz in a match, they better not let him get that lead or it is basically over for them.

Alcaraz never loses in 3 or 5 sets since he became a top player. All his losses are in 4 sets and they usually follow the same pattern, opponent wins the first two sets, Alcaraz wins the 3rd set and the opponent closes it out in 4 sets.

I stopped watching tennis back in 1995. I wish I hadn’t. Anyway, 3 years ago I decided to give it another try. It was during Indian Wells, and Carlitos was around 20 in the world. I watched him play, and was hooked back in the game. Now I watch almost every ATP 500 and above and a lot of WTA too. He brings so much joy, and so much incredible play to the game, that there is never a boring match with him.

The moment he reduces the unforced errors he will be almost unbeatable . At the moment what truly separates this guy from the pack is the astonishing record on long 5 set matches , virtually he wins them all . Let's hope for a good autumn training schedule that will allow him to reach the Australian open on peak condition to achieve the mind blowing record of a career Grand slam at the age of 21

[@TraeBeneck]

He's definitely been improving in this metric. Most matches this tournament he was hitting nearly double the winners compared to errors. I think his forearm injury forcing him to reign it in a little bit might've been the best thing that could've happened to him

[@bhagirathpriyavrat821]

Carlos is looking ridiculously good in the best of 5s of grand slams but I wonder if he might struggle in the best of 3s during the Olympics since he has looked inconsistent throughout both the Roland Garros and Wimbledon but managing to get it together by the 4th or 5th set.

[@m.a.g.3920]

Very valid point. So, how do you measure a player: by best of 3 or best of 5? You know the answer. Too bad Olympics is best of 3.

[@iannovak5223]

@@iamheful It's a funny quip to make in retrospect, but LITERALLY no one thought Novak would win 24 majors when he was 19-20-21, even until he was 30. Nobody even thought Rafa would catch up and surpass Federer. Maybe you started watching Tennis in 2017 or sum shi, I watched the Rafa and Novak come up. I'm telling you no one thought Novak had it in him to win 24. Not even his most ardent fans.

[@jrodartec]

Firstly, thank you for this content, specially for the great wimbledon recap on the first half of the video. I respectfully disagree with the analysis on the second half of the video. I believe there is an easier storyline that explains Carlos's dominance in the finals, without so much "stats picking": Djoko net strategy didn't work out, and while he insisted on that strategy for almost 2 whole sets, Carlos developed a huge lead. After Djoko adapted, Carlos was already winning by a large margin, had momentum, and more physicality - but the 3rd set was disputed nonetheless. Djoko had a bad knee and a defeating strategy (that he insisted on for too long). Carlos was whole and effective. All the stats you showed are not causes, but consequences of this scenario. That is only my opinion anyway, so take it with a considerable grain of salt! Thanks and have all a great day!

[@dumitriuradu8481]

[@mikethebeginner]

7:42 This illustrates why the "in attack" stat is meaningless.

[@ifeanyiikpegbu6465]

Attack can be initiated from anywhere on the court, not just a specified area like the stat presumes

[@azsl31]

Alcaraz has always been the outlier in this stat. The reason is that his shot making ability is good he doesn’t need to sustain an attack since he can usually get it done with just one or two shots. Add to that that his defense is so good that his opponents stay on attack longer since they will often struggle to finish the point.

[@MartinJohnZ]

You could definately pull off Lajal's hairstyle. Maybe try on a wig for a couple of days and see how your friends and family react. But I genuinely believe that if you walk the walk, AND you talk the talk, you can absolutely wick the wick, jig the jig, and wig the wig!

[@Courtside_Tennis]

Thanks for the tips!

[@StudyingManually]

Longevity should not be a criterion for the GOAT debate. Alcaraz should officially be the best player in history!

[@creativestudio101]

He's in my book... The only reason I watch tennis now is cause of Alcaraz. He makes tennis fun again, like Federer.

[@gebmanini6465]

As a fan of Carlitos and the new gen in general, I still think that the biggest reason for the Wimbledon result being what it was was Novak’s lack of playing ability. In the first two sets we saw absolutely zero body language and motivation- he just looked oddly flat and subdued. The third was slightly better and we saw glimpses of what could have been from Novak- at this point though, alcaraz was on a run and was locked in. If Novak wanted to win the match he needed to get into the zone MUCH earlier to catch alcaraz cold. Also, his knee made it so that his movement was hindered and he had to play a hyper aggressive style, going for unconvincing net approaches and risky redirection- in the end, this made it easy pickings for alcarz’s defence and athleticism.

[@joser1853]

Also, Novak had an easy as hell draw. He shouldn't even had gotten to the finals. Put someone like Med or Sinner on the semis and he wouldn't have made it.

[@HyperionRed]

The only thing I'd like to mention: Medvedev isn't really a young star anymore. He's 28 and I'd say he's more like an established top player (I get that he may be young compared to Rafa or Djokovic). Great video!
