And I even said shitzy might get a set… just can’t see it. Dude is a monster who will STILL improve. That’s scary.

He’s playing like secretariat in the Belmont.

I'm not watching, but is Alcarez beating Tsitsipas like Nadal used to beat Federer at the French?

It's gonna be Carlos vs Novak in the semi.

You just figured this out????

This is a special performance by Alcaraz.

Djokovic / Alcaraz will be the match of the year so far

I honestly believe the one-handed backhand is headed towards extinction like the serve and volley. I just don't think you can win big in today's game with a one-handed BH. It's too much of a liability in longer baseline rallies.

Holy frickballs. Nobody is beating Alcy.

I've been preaching this for years regarding the one-handed backhand. It's an inferior product.
I'm still on the fence about the serve and volley. I know there are no current examples of players using it, but I see no conceptual reason why it couldn't work. At the very least as an arsenal in a player's toolset.

Modified for completeness.

It's nice to finally have a new generational talent in the sport. It's been like a whole generation since we've had one of those.

The biggest problem is the return of serve. A one-handed backhand ROS will just never ever be as good as the best two-handed ROS.

Maxime Cressy utilizes it. I believe he's the only player in the top 50 who does though. It's a dead style of play in today's game. You can use it every once in a while. Djokovic actually uses serve and volley quite a bit. You just can't build your game around it. Players rackets and string technology are too good. You will just be a sitting duck at the net getting passed every single time.
