Dan That 7-0 second set tie break demolition job was peak Djokovic.
What a complete performance by Alcaraz. The long awaited clash with Djok should be something else
I watched Alcaraz last night, impressive stuff, he reminds me of Sampras for some reason, think its the aggression in his game.
This Rune kid looks just as good to me but what do I know.
LT42 Rune is tenacious little fucker…. There’s a few Slams in him.
This Rune v Ruud quarter final is a proper clay court/corner to corner slugfest.
Dan I’m bolloxed just watching them
LT42 It’s the most grueling surface IMHO.
Got a feeling Ruud could win the French Open this year…. Definitely the best clay court player in the semis.
Dan He hasn’t got the game or character to beat Djokovic or Alcaraz over five
alistair He hasn’t got the game or character
What match were you watching last night? Lol
alistair He was the runner up last year so he’s pretty clued up.
Dan hate to say I was right but it looks like Djokovic has got his number (like he does with everyone). History now being made
I was at a concert so didn’t watch but my point is that Ruud hasn’t beaten Djokovic or Alcaraz on tour yet despite several attempts and lost two slam finals when the going got tough last year. I may be wrong but I don’t see that changing here. That said, he’s a fine player, quick and agile round the court with a heavy forehand
alistair seems to remember Lendl being in Ruud’s situation a few times… he didn’t turn out too bad. Ruud v Alcatraz final woukd be excellent, but you can never tell in tennis? Maybe Zverev will win it?
Ridiculously high standard of tennis from both already. Could live up the hype
Looks like it.
Dan has Djok’s forehand got even better? Amazing to think he’s still improving in certain areas (serve too)
Dan some statement that. I have never seen a more aggressive Djokovic. He was relentless and just wore him down. think he will beat either of Ruud or Zverev on that performance
Superb match so far. Could go the distance @Dan
Let’s go Andy, he is in slightly better shape than me for same age.
Funky tough match that against Britain’s number 9
