Maravilloso,enhorabueno
Not a tennis expert. Just comparing the footwork between Shevchenko and Alcaraz. I can see Shevchenko
1. Doesn’t consistently split step. May have caused some reaction lag.
2. Didn’t recover fast after service.
Alcaraz exploited these with direction changes, and deep service returns near Shevchenko feet. Can see Shevchenko struggled to react fast to direction changes, or deep service returns.
Guess split steps and fast service recoveries are key. Just my observations.
Great game from both nonetheless. Respect.
Aburrido ver Alcaraz. Cómo extraño a Roger. Nadal Murray nole eso si que era ver tennis
The moaning on both sides is so funny when it gets intense.
Stop putting every matchpoint
english comentators are full of shit
Carlos sounds like a small dog when he serves😂😂😂
Carloto bravo bravo bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹
What a humble sport man who said "thank you" to his opponent when shaking hands at the net, he is the one and the only one I have ever seen so far….players easily get self-proud when they got a higher and higher career level, but no matter how far Alcaraz goes, he always stays at his sportsmanship and humble manner!!
Carlos Alcaraz! The best!🎉
You are the best ,Carlitos
..
he related to Valentina Shevchenko?
Carlos bringing great aggression into returning the 2nd serves. Think we'll see more of that this tournament. Good effort by Shevchenko.
Good Job my hero ❤❤❤❤❤
5:15 VAMOOOS CARLITOOS!!!
It is Australian open, where is the useless female commentators ?
Alcaraz serve grunts always so zesty 😂😂
Sasha, just heat the ball where THERE IS NO player, and you'll get success..
Alcaraz es el mejor!!!!❤
Alcaraz likes to nerf himself mid game to enjoy the battle a lil bit more
Pitty praise : "such a beautiful shot.." NO IT WASNT! You feelin sorry… Bravo Carlos!!! ❤❤❤😊
Are these sped up?
Djokovic goat
1:43 "Apologizes for missing return"
What does this even mean? I still don't understand what he apologized for.
