2026 Australian Open

[YeoShuey]

Anyone ever seen someone lose as badly as Zverev does?

This guy losing 5th sets is like clockwork

Him and Medvedev. The best at it

 

[Acinath]

Apparently 3rd longest match in AO history?

 

[Plugger35]

It will be hard for the next semi final or the final to beat that for a match.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Man that’s a tough loss. Just couldn’t hit the big serves when he really needed to. Held off the first 5 (maybe more) break point chances in the fifth and looked like he might just hold on

The pickle juice kicked in just early enough for him to get home

 

[Chism]

That's a really poor post

Do you say this to Fadge in any main board thread as well or just cherry pick your sadness post wise??

 

[d-mac3276]

What an epic

 

[kaiserchief13]

Nice choke Zverev

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Alcaraz is a mentality monster. He was a made for the big time.

His aggressive shotmaking in the last couple of games was unbelievable.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Well done Carlos!!!

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Alcaraz the youngest player to reach all 4 slams, surpassing Courier’s record of all people.

 

[myblueroan]

22!

 

[Chism]

Well done Carlos.

 

[Mr Meow]

Love you, Carlos!!!

That one goes down in the history books.

Forget Federer v Safin in 2005.
Forget Roddick v El Aynaoui in 2003.
Forget Rafa v Verdasco in 2009.
Forget Rafa v Novak in 2012.
Forget Rafa v Roger in 2017.


This one eclipses them all. The wounded Alcaraz has one of the greatest escapes of all time.

Awesome effort by Carlos and delighted he got over the line. Cramping/exhaustion rather than wounded seemed to be the obstacle. He still had great power etc where injured players simply don't.

5 hours on court... You feel that this was Alcaraz's final.

If one of the other two win in straight sets, he's cooked in the final.

Who's Fadge

I'll be rooting for him in the final but will be a tough ask

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Thats surprising

He was before my time and knew he’d won a few grand slams here and French. Didn’t realise he made them all and so young

It wont be Joker that beats him that is for sure.

I hope not.

He’s young and it’s only cramp. He’ll be fine Sunday

 

[satty]

Incredible win by Alcaraz.

5 set classic.

And boy did this aus open ever need a 5 set thriller.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

22!

22 grand slams probably

 

[largebus]

Last i looked it was 5-4 Zevrev serving for the match. I get home and **** me Carlos has won
Did zverev choke again?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

And boy did this aus open ever need a 5 set thriller.

I think it's been a decent AO

 

[YeoShuey]

He’s young and it’s only cramp. He’ll be fine Sunday

It was a 5 hour match.... Those match hours count. It's not a question of he'll be fine, it is a question of recovery.
