Shelton is going to regret letting that tiebreak get away.

Dang. I feel bad breaking from tennis to watch The Gentlemen based of your tales.

Brutal. Felt like he really needed that one to give himself a chance.

Great serve as well.

That 5-3 point where Alcaraz returned the 142 mph serve was such a big return.

Alcaraz is 25-0 when winning the first set at the US Open.

This match is over. He’s just gonna control points, move Ben all over the court, and wear him down.

Shelton is playing awesome. Alcaraz is just too good at everything right now. Very entertaining match.

This reminds me of the Rodrick/Fed match at Wimbledon. You were just dealing with a next level where nothing you do is good enough.

I'm still not used to Carlitos looking like an actual Spaniard with the shaggy hair and scruffy beard.

I have a strong feeling we are going to see a completely different Alcaraz from that 2nd set the rest of the way.

Wow this is wild. The prematch money line was Alcaraz -421. If this goes 5 sets they could be playing 3am local time tennis

Are we going to see an American in the final of the US Open?

Carlos looks lost right now, dropped 9 straight games, and now 11 of 13.

Ben playing very well, and Carlos level is just not close right now in this match. Some very poor mistakes and bad shots.
