Day 12 is here

I think part of Alcaraz's issue is his sleeveless shirt.

Rafa rocked the singlet better. Hewitt’s 2005 AO run with them was badass too

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

I predict this match will finish at 3.45am

Zverev has improved his fitness since his ankle injury. He was so impressive during UC then has backed it up during this tournament. He did carry Germany through to winning the UC how the hail he played singles and doubles for the semi and final. WOW.
Congrat to Zheng she played great and I loved her post match interview, she is adorable.
Congrats to Hunter and Siniakova for winning their doubles match today onto the semis to play Mertens and Sheish for a spot in the final.
Random thoughts from today: Ukraine should leave the 16 year old junior alone and she shouldn't had too explain herself over the handshake incident. Its bullying.
Little Lei Lei to play adult ITF tournaments, WTF. Please just play juniors for another year. You don't need to grow up so quickly.
I'm sure have other random thoughts but can't think of them atm.

He found the secret ingredient that Novaks coaches use!!

And I thought the handahake was nice, it was her Rocky IV moment!!!!

 

[Chism]

Zverev 35 first serves and 31 have been in.

Over 90% is outrageous and cannot continue and if it does Carlos has little chance. This is Blue Moon type shit from the German.


Carlos wont give up though and if the serve stops hitting look out.

 

[Plugger35]

Alcaraz needs to leave the drop shot in the locker.

It isn't working for him.

 

[Munich]

How is forehand heaviness rated again exactly?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Lucky there Carlitos

 

[Mr Meow]

Zverev is on fire!

I hope he can keep this level as Alcaraz will surely raise his.

 

[Coasters7]

Alcaraz in big trouble. Not getting any power or depth in his shots and isn’t making Zverev move nearly enough

Agree on the handshake, her Russian opponent probably thought it was nice also. I didn't realise there was a written ageement on the non handshake.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Not seeing it the German is playing too good

 

[YeoShuey]

Trouble, trouble, trouble

 

[Plugger35]

Another break, Zverev is all over Alcaraz who is just scrambling to stay in it.

If anything, this shows that it is not the Ukrainian players causing the issues with the handshake. It is their country.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Alcaraz could cramp up again with this pressure.

You make some good comments Plugger but sometimes you state the obvious.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We want 5 sets anyway

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Still think Carlos can Lukeparkerisno1

 

[YeoShuey]

We want 5 sets anyway

Will be over in straights or 4.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

She did the wrong thing ,her coach should have told her as well, but she's just a kid so her apology should be enough.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Will be over in straights or 4.

Surely he can’t serve this well for another set

 

[LukeParkerno1]

She did the wrong thing ,her coach should have told her as well, but she's just a kid so her apology should be enough.

Wrong thing? It’s a handshake that’s it she’s a kid more than likely hasn’t lived there since she was 5 or whatever and trains and plays in the US or Europe (most do)

 

[YeoShuey]

Surely he can’t serve this well for another set

Done it all tournament. Really wouldn’t surprise me.
