He’s got a lot of mass to move, doesn’t he? [Applause] We have access to our friends at Hawkeye. And and one thing that would be worth keeping track of tonight is how many points are extended points? How many round? It’s probably a good thing cuz that return looked like it landed on the line and that would have been too tough to handle. Can he snap off this shot from behind the baseline? See this again. There’s a break. And it comes early for Carlos Alvarez. Davidid Ferrer. Exactly. Great career. played the wrong guy at the wrong time. No, Bob and him not necessarily the recipe. 134, but shorten the point. And first set six games to four. He’s playing the match he wants to play. Carlos Algarez taking the opening set from the 27y old Sasha Zerv does with regularity. That’s his average first serve percentage made. And you know how he does. He’s [Music] gobbling at the court. beat up. She [Music] I know the forehand is was the one that finished it, but the sliding backhand was the one that that gobbacked me in this rally. We’re not going to see it because he’s already done it earlier in the rally, but I This is a great inside in That’s a great shot. expressed sort of almost dismay about on his exit interview wheels on Opela. I mean, that is so so good for 6’1. Just gobbled up the court with a couple of steps and then had the dexterity to hit a nice slice down the line. This was impressive. My goodness. He could be hustling down and see where he goes. He should do it again in the output. 305. You asked about his volley skill set. Pretty darn good in that last one. Look at this technique. You uh you know a man name [Applause] the volleys, right? It’s so simple. Look at that. uses his body weight to really generate the pace on it and but intentionally left that short. That’s beautifully measured. Got it. Oh my goodness. Couple of big serves and big pass and it’s five. Propela playing the right way. Just going full throttle. Close the net. Massive wingspan. Just playing the wrong guy. That That is the wrong guy because he had the right answer. And then he comes, pumps his fist and then sticks the dagger in. Took a lot of coaching off the court. He needed that. Okay, thanks for asking. There we go. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] How do you volley that gym? Oh, you stick your racket in front of your body and then you wiggle your wrist. Apparently, that’s what he did. Okay, let’s watch. Look at the side spin he puts on that. That was a wild game and second games to find leads to Ces. What that actually tells us is that Alcarez is doing well as far as getting his racket on these serves. Lelka 14 15 [Music] 13. You look at Yannik Sinners and let’s compare center to Alcarez cuz why wouldn’t we? Of course, we’re going to be talking about them hopefully for the next decade as their rivalry continues to blossom. Oh boy, Alvarez working hard these last couple of points. Beauty number one. [Applause] And you same same same that was a I mean Zarzui you have to give her credit she fought for every point made so many points long that we know might be all we know that’s about 59. For those of you keeping track at home, that volley was not normal to take. There’s shaking involved. Unscientific. Oh yeah, they’ve come a long way since Susan Longland was drinking cognac, right? Yes. And remember when Serena Williams ordered an espresso, a double espresso? That’s That’s my kind of mid-match drink. Was that in Australia when she was jetlagged? I think like a Hopman cup, something like that. Was that good? No, it was great. It was great. It was standing ridiculous. It was very good. This get stung the crowd. They didn’t believe it either. They couldn’t believe that anyone’s going to make that shot, but guess who did? Caritos had his way with it. Thank you. Please [Applause] here. And where’s Alcarez going? Another football called. Here’s the chance now for the Spaniard. And the challenge for the American. Second serve. And it’s a miss again. Oh, ninth double fault. Thank you. Peace. match up guys. Reception 64 75 64.

  1. This was very impressive from Alcaraz. Opelka is a dangerous opponent to play in the 1st round of a slam. I hope Alcaraz can continue to serve like this throughout the tournament.

  2. I despise everyone fist pumping to show dominance. I find it arrogant and disrespectful to all concerned and a terrible model for youth

  3. Handshake at the end looked like father and son 😂 Congrats to Opelka for his effort. Gradually getting better. But as the commentator said: "He's playing the wrong guy…" Carlito haircut brings out his strong features. I'm not mad at it whatsoever! Great match! 👏

  4. All he needs is a few tats and he'll look like a gangbanger, with ICE stepping in to deport him 🙂

  5. Superb tennis from both. Expect nothing less from Carlito. But, Opelka is a player to keep an eye on. He has the potential to hurt a lot of the top seeds. Shame he lost out this time.

  6. His hairstyle = A mental demarcation from feelings for Raducanu. He wants to stay focused with a monk style.
