Alkie on a bender

[TT]

Not playing too well. Unable to play his game during breakpoints.
Returning further back than Nadal, while not having the capability to do
so... poor coaching by Ferrero.

This guy is not even close to Nadal's level on clay.

Has played great breakpoints against his own serve. But is that enough...

I think this shows what a high level these tennis studs play at. Novak
apparently had an off day at the finals of Wimbledon and Alcaraz
destroyed him. Then today Alcaraz, 16 years younger, had an off day and
Novak won in straight sets, on clay. GOAT

C'mon TT, no one ever said that anyone ever played like peak Nadal on clay.

But yes, Alcaraz return serve position was very ineffective and when he realized this he retreated even further to make it more ineffective.

Also his serve was two notches below his serving level in Wimbledon.

I said before that he can't keep running from one tournament to another winning them all.
He won FO and Wimbledon and got silver in Olympics, I think this was extraordinary.

Fair enough.
