Why does Roland-Garros' editing team think the world will end if they upload highlights more than 3 minutes long?

[@vultur311]

3 minutes is an optimal number. Not too long and not too short. Only wished I saw some double faults😢

[@AinSoph73]

Maybe a better question is why do you people rush to these videos to leave these comments within 30 minutes of posting when they do this for every match, every year. Are you dense?

For anyone who didn’t hear, Ruud was dealing with a stomach bug in this match and took medication for it, unfortunately it seems not to have been fully effective as he wasn’t able to move like he usually does.

[@Skjeggspir]

Yes, sadly the match was completely ruined by Ruud’s illness. Why make highlights without even mentioning something so decisive?

[@warp_skip]

Sad, you can tell cause he's not even trying to get to balls he can definitely reach usually

[@Skjeggspir]

@@warp_skip yes, 88% unreturned serves on the forehand side…isn’t it better to just withdraw instead? At least it becomes clear that something was wrong.

[@exus696]

Carlos will have to use dropshots to good use to unsettle Zverev. Zverev is a fantastic baseline player.

[@jm7804]

I picked Zverez a month ago and I'm sticking with my pick. I think it's his time, but he's going to have to dig deep to pull this one out.

[@tennisojisama87]

@@raghumanda2tanush496it depends on how it starts. We’ve seen in all their masters 1000 meetings Alcaraz has the edge, yet in the two he’s won in GS level alcaraz usually starts slow, and Zverev capitalizes by being aggressive. We saw that with Alcaraz’s slam inexperience in 2022 and then his slow start in Australia where Zverev dominated the first two sets.

[@jonhowe2960]

Classy of Ruud to keep distance from Z and the umpire at the end 👏🥵

[@RC-ld8oj]

As a type 1 diabetic tennis player myself, Zverev is at a MASSIVE disadvantage every time he plays. Every change in blood sugar levels negatively affects my mental and physical abilities on the court. I will literally not be able to hit if my blood sugar starts dropping. It sucks! And Im on an automated pod system. The fact Zverev is doing finger sticks and injections during hours long matches and able to play at that level is SUPERHUMAN. No non-diabetic will ever fully understand.

[@m.a.g.3920]

Yeah, he is a Hero honestly. I also have diabetes type 1 and I couldnt believed It when I knew about him having it. I don't play tennis but I surf which is a very demanding and exhausting sport and yeah, It affects me A LOT sometimes reaching dangerous points. I just cannot believe how he manages his Blood sugar not to reach +200 or hypoglycemia, all over 4-5 set matches, just unbelievable. By the way, I root for Alcaraz as I'm spanish but I would be Happy as a diabetic if Zverev wins.

[@juttaweise]

this comment should be pinned at the top of every match Zverev plays! Because people are not aware of this. I remember in one match he had trouble with this and he had to run out to get his insuline shot. That's when I learned about it. Thanks for posting this! ♥

[@m.a.g.3920]

@@juttaweise probably It wasnt an insulin shot (could be, tho)but glucagen (glucagon) which is used to lift your blood sugar to correct an hypoglycemia. Could also be an hyperglycemia due to nervousness or excess of carbs, but I think is less likely in those conditions.

[@Globeishoax]

Why don’t you drink Glucaffect shakes. It’s a natural way to maintain levels

[@RC-ld8oj]

@@Globeishoax Thanks for the suggestion but that’s something Type 2 diabetics drink to slow the absorption of carbohydrates. Type 1 lows and highs during exercise are a different, much more difficult to manage, phenomenon.

Too bad Ruud ate something that came back to bite him in this match otherwise we'd be looking at another French final with him for 3rd consecutive year. The way he was playing in the first set I thought for sure Zverev was going down. Too bad cuz that first set Ruud def looks stronger and better than he was last year against Djokovic. I don't see Ruud doing any damage at Wimbledon, he's lucky if he even makes the Qtrs. He might be a factor during the summer hardcourt season in U.S.

Zverev is too strong. The down the line backhand is a beast. Congrats to Zverev for making it to the finals.

[@In_my_own_mind]

Too strong. He hardly beat Ruud in the sets where he hardly moved. Ruud was acute sick. After crushing Zverev in the first set he suddenly started to struggle. He looked pale and his eyes were showing he didnt feel well. He could hardly move on the court.. He had gotten some stomach virus/food poisening. He wouldnt give up thats why he played through with a lot of pain. He was dizzy and it looked like he was about to faint several times. He was drained of energy. He tried if it helped with some medicines but it didnt. A healthy Ruud would have beaten Zverev as he did last year in the semis.
