Who would have thought watching this match that Carlitos would be the USO champion and World no 1 the very next year? He has blown all expectations out of the water. VAMOS
What comes up must come down never forget that I wanna see how he’ll be after 10 years while playing so harsh and unsustainably thereby really risking getting serious injuries…
I was at this match and I'm a HUGE Tsitsipas fan, and I sat there in the stands watching Carlos and his INCREDIBLE athletic ability and all around game and I couldn't cheer against this guy. He's going to be a MEGA star over the next 20 years if he stays healthy!!
Stefanos is not always the most gracious when he loses, but I really appreciated his gesture here. In his own words..."I've never seen anything like this" sums it all and he was appreciative and acknowledged Alcaraz with a smile at the net. Stefanos played a great match, Alcaraz was on another level in sets 1,3,5
his only weakness is his height. He appears as 6.1 but he is 5.11 at most. That's an inconvenient when playing other top players. He will have to be really fast and extraordinarily precise.
I remember watching this match so well because, even though I'd seen Carlos play in a few matches before this, I wanted to watch Tsitsipas because, whatever issues I might have with his bathroom breaks, etc., I nonetheless like his style of play. By the end of the match, I'd become a full-on Carlitos convert--he obviously had things he had to work on in his game, but the power, speed, and intelligence of his play was something so rare and exciting. And when you watch him volley or move corner to corner, his movement is pure elegance.
This kid is going to be another GOAT. He has the fighting spirit of Nadal, the aggressive forehand of Federer and the solid backhand of Djokovic. What a complete package
@@pureffm Indeed, I hope he takes care of his fitness. The tour is so physical nowadays. He has all the weapons and time on his side. If anything, I think he will play best on faster surfaces than clay but he will also play well on it. His coach said clay is not his best surface.
I don’t really see Sampras or Federer in him. His serve is too small to be Sampras and his game looks too laborious to be Federer. Great player though.
@@turnerturnerturner He obviously plays a very aggressive offensive game and he's not afraid of coming to the net. He's definitely more comparable to Federer than Nadal or Djokovic. Just because he doesn't make it look as easy as Federer doesn't mean the style of play isn't comparable.
@@turnerturnerturner Also, a pro player on tour saying their forehand is similar to another player's is obviously different from a youtube mug commenter saying their forehand is similar to a player's, get real.
In addition to the Big Three: Novak, Nadal, Federer, this teenager from Spain certainly gave Tsitsipas the run for his money. Another tennis golden child in 2021.
my guy it's too early to say that. they say this about all the teens and then look what ends up happening. just let it happen instead of trying to predict. don't ruin this one please. when people do this they add tons of pressure to the player and nothing ever happens, so stop.
@@alligatorsarefire In the world of tennis, anything is certainly possible. Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, Bianca Andreescu (Womens), Thiem, Zverev, Tsitsipas (Mens) are players who became stars and beat the top three. Also, my comments are not written in stones and they were well within TH-cam's Community Guidelines. Nothing wrong here lol.
@@tshavfengvang7831 in the world of tennis, well i guess only people who know anything about tennis would know, every young teenager is ruinked because so many people say things like this. And yes, I know the players you have mentioned. But some of these players you have mentioned still haven't achieved much. Like bianca won a grandslam adn still hasn't done anything since. Zverev tsitsipas haven't won a slam. lol -_-
@@alligatorsarefire I don't think you understand my comment section "To give someone the run for the money" means to beat or upset someone in a match. I hope you know what a rookie is. I never said anything about a grand slam title. Lol.
I’ll never forget this match. It was my first day working at the tennis channel, and I had little to no knowledge about tennis. Saw this incredible match and just knew Alcarez was that dude. My favorite player now. He’ll win a grand slam this year no doubt
His power game is amazing with less faults even djokovic, nadal don’t hit with so much power their trajectory of ball is bouncy which gives time to hit and this kid got variation and power which is deadly.
Call me crazy,but this guy's going to be the GOAT. No tennis player has impressed me as much as this guy has when he is the zone. The stamina will come one day and when it comes,he is going to be the perfect tennis player
I completely agree. What strikes me the most is his movement his prep his excellent technique. His body position in his backhand is the most beautiful stoke in tennis. He will only get stronger, better with time. I agree in the end I think he will be the 🐐. Surpassing any records set by nole.
Pete Sampras is the most impressive to this point, and Fed/Djok in form. But Alcaraz has more defence than Sampras and has elements that remind of Sampras in the attacking hard shots. Still it may be so, will show and depend on the daily hard work.
Ciertamente este match fue mucho mejor que la final.. largamente me quedo con este. Alcaraz bien guiado y metódicamente dirigido será un grande.tiene lo principal .. mentalidad y actitud.
This kid is the future of tennis, he’s one of the best players I’ve ever watched when he’s making his shots. Consistency is the last thing he needs to make very minute adjustments on to become the best player in the world
Watching this kid is such a delightful experience... I can't think of anyone who plays the game more intelligently than Carlitos. And I keep coming back to this video over and over again. I don't think Tsitsipas has beaten him once, and they've had several encounters already.
Wow .I didn’t see this. I was thinking my goodness if he plays like this now. We have lots to look forward to .not just that set before 6.0 extraordinary. Thanks for highlighting this part
Extraordinary hitting.... But, the video editors did opt not to include the 2 points in that game that Tsitsipas won - which would have made it look less overwhelming.
Alcaraz is Djokovic in terms of backhand and defense, Federer in terms of forehand and net-play, with the clay-bred grit of a Nadal. This man is something special. If he can stay injury free, he's going to be the Djoker of the next gen.
I feel this was very important match in alcaraz career cuz on this day talent and hard work was forged and a new champion came out. The way he collapsed at the end he knew that he had unlocked something special in him by coming out on the winning side 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Querido Carlos disfruta esto , es el comienzo de una gran carrera , tienes espejos donde reconocerte , estas rodeado de inmensos jugadores , Tu propio coach Juan Carlos Ferrero , inmenso jugador y persona , despues otro Numero uno Carlos Moya , y para Finalizar Rafael Nadal , mira si tienes para alimentar a tu espiritu de gran jugador que sos sumarle otras miradas donde mirarte en tu esencia , gracias Carlos por este gran momento de felicidad que nos diste , primero dedicatelo a ti , y despues ofrendalo a tu publico , infinitamente gracias Carlitos , nace un sueño que sera para largo , abrazo grande desde Argentina .
I come back to see this match because this was really the first time I discovered completely Carlitos. I just can't believe what he has been achieving, just the beginning!
Alcaraz hit almost every line on the court with most of his winners, and with tremendous power. On another day they could miss, but regardless, on this day the kid was incredible.
Incredible match, incredible highlights. Far better than two minutes or the whole match, the absolute perfect length. Thanks US Open!! (But how can you not include the 2 missed match points?)
So impressed by this kid. Played smart aand intelligently. He kept pushIng ball to opponent's backhand till 4th set. On 5th, he crashed rhythm and made himself unpredictable with winning shots. So determined talented smart kid.
People just marveled at the kid's ability to hit clean winners at such a stage in front thousands of spectators. If he can further improve his consistency and sharpen his serves, he may very well be the No.1 player in the near future.
I watched this live and was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Tsitsipas had no answers. Either did his dad on his 2 day bathroom brake chat….. lololololol Loved this…..
It’s 2024 and Alcaraz has 4 slams. This is the match that made me a believer. I’ve never seen anyone consistently hit forehands with that kind of pace and spin. I said to myself this kid is next level. I still can’t believe the pace of his forehand.
So happy to see the new medium fast Laykold surface since 2020. This rewards attacking play and I hope most if not all indoor hardcourts use this surface in the future. This was a jaw droppingly brilliant match from Alcaraz but Stefanos played great tennis too. Thanks for the fantastic highlights
These courts were probably the most motone, unimaginative courts ever... they allowed for zero memorable rallies. Zero. My eyes turned dry watching it. Even the winners from Alcaraz here have no flair to them.
@@TheRafaelBond Better than this slowed down courts that turned games into baseline grinding counter-punching snoozefests , which is why the sport isn’t as popular as it used to be back in the day when the courts were actually fast .
@@princesofthepower3690 No, actually not. The courts were literally limited/limiting. Its not a matter of speed. They were just awful and restricted creativity.
@@TheRafaelBond Try watching the Becker Sampras ATP 1996 finals and understand what balanced attacking all court tennis is about on a medium fast indoor surface.
Knowing almost nothing about this guy the first thing that struck me when I found out his age is his fitness. He is in incredible shape for his age which is great because some great tennis players take a long time to take that part of it seriously and they don’t peak until later. This dude could be a problem for a long time.
Since this match, from us open 2022 to wim 2024, he has won four of last 8 slams ( seven entered ). And can become only men player in history to have four slams under age of 22
Mighty Alcaraz... I have been lucky enough to see the RAFA, Novak and Roger born in the elite when the 3 were 18-19 years old, and I remember them as if it were yesterday, the 3 left me incredible sensations, but comparing them with the sensations that they transmit to me Alcaraz at the same age of 19 right now, I think Alcaraz wins... I see that Alcaraz is much more complete than the big 3 were at Alcaraz's current age... Alcaraz has everything, both offensively and defensively, he just has to polish some things and sometimes calm that force of nature that he possesses, which is sometimes like a runaway mihura bull.... And mentally he is superlative, he reads the matches very well, his mind is powerful, he does not fear anyone, he plays freely, he has ambition to win and win, he does not have a complex facing anyone, whoever they are, and if we add to that that tennis It is very complete, we perhaps have what could become the complete tennis player, the closest thing to perfection of what a TOP tennis player should be among the top.. On top of that, he has charisma, he's nice, lively, close to people, he's not haughty or arrogant, he spends a lot of time with the kids and ball boy for example, interacting with them as equals... And on top of his face he's handsome, with what women will adore him, girls will idolize him and mothers will see him as the son they wish they had, and men, a large majority, will feel great sympathy for him... Right now in the USA, for example, it is a media phenomenon, but in Japan or China, it is too. Even the big official tournaments like Roland Garros announce it as if it were the arrival of a messiah, a star... And if to all this, he begins to win GS tournaments without stopping, then we can have an idol of the masses worldwide, that even tennis in general, can generate global momentum and publicity...
I appreciate you giving the Big Picture of what he brings to the table and his affect on everyone. To me, he's the most impressive teenager since Steffi Graff. I'm old enough to have seen the last 30 years+ of tennis. The Maturity of his game at 19, he's not just the future, he's here, right now. Zverev called him the best player in the world *RIGHT NOW*. He presents alot of problems to all players first and foremost his mentality/variety/feel for the game are unmatched for his age. He has all the hype, most wins so far, but here's the test: Can you put it all together for a grand slam? The Mental War of a grand slam and the physical toll it takes on a player is what makes the top guys in the world stand above them all. What it takes physically and mentally to win 1 grand slam, LET ALONE THE FREAKING FRENCH OPEN........I can see a quarterfinal, Nadal vs Alcaraz will be a 4 hour war out there. I'll go with the old War Horse in that one.
@@EE-bg1de In theory, Alcaraz seems to have everything, both offensively and defensively and with a winning mentality, apart from the physique of a Mihura bull... His handicap may be his lack of experience since he was only 18 years old, that is, almost young age... Perhaps we are witnessing the birth of a legend of tennis and perhaps of world sport...
Who would have thought watching this match that Carlitos would be the USO champion and World no 1 the very next year? He has blown all expectations out of the water. VAMOS

Of course because this is the highlights( best points of the game that's why)
Cut out all the fluff. No ball bouncing. No chit-chat. Just pure tennis.
But in highlights you miss all the drama!
crazy to come back to this with Alcaraz as a 4x slam champion
What comes up must come down never forget that I wanna see how he’ll be after 10 years while playing so harsh and unsustainably thereby really risking getting serious injuries…

Nice lie🤣u never been there..
How can anyone be a huge fan of tsitsipas?
I loved it how Alcaraz got completely dominated in the 4th set, but then came back to win it in a tight 5th set. Great win for Alcaraz :)
A big issue there I'm guessing is his lack of experience playing best of 5.
Back here one year later. The hype is very much real.
Alcaraz is a future ATG. He's doesn't have many, if any, weaknesses to his game. I can see him winning slams in a couple of years.
Yes especially with his coach Carlos Ferrero he should be slam ready soon
i don't know let's not get ahead of ourselves. let's see how he plays in future slams.

You will have to be really quick to play against Alcaraz, there's no stopping this guy. Incredible.

Poor Alcaraz, he wanted to hug Tsitsipas but he would not have it, Stefanos too disappointed he lost against Wonder Boy.
MY NEW HERO ALCARAS , BUT LOT OF RESPECT FOR TISITSIPAS WHAT A FIGHTER HE IS ..
MONSTER , Incredible tennis by Carlos. Insane
Its great to see players coming showing the talent and grit. Well done.
38 minutes of beauty
I watched this whole match rooting for alcaraz it was great
this first set might be Carlos' best tennis ive ever seen him play, mentally, and the forehand power. I think this is his hardest fasteset forehands.
Mighty Alcaraz...
I have been lucky enough to see the RAFA, Novak and Roger born in the elite when the 3 were 18-19 years old, and I remember them as if it were yesterday, the 3 left me incredible sensations, but comparing them with the sensations that they transmit to me Alcaraz at the same age of 19 right now, I think Alcaraz wins... I see that Alcaraz is much more complete than the big 3 were at Alcaraz's current age...
Alcaraz has everything, both offensively and defensively, he just has to polish some things and sometimes calm that force of nature that he possesses, which is sometimes like a runaway mihura bull....
And mentally he is superlative, he reads the matches very well, his mind is powerful, he does not fear anyone, he plays freely, he has ambition to win and win, he does not have a complex facing anyone, whoever they are, and if we add to that that tennis It is very complete, we perhaps have what could become the complete tennis player, the closest thing to perfection of what a TOP tennis player should be among the top..
On top of that, he has charisma, he's nice, lively, close to people, he's not haughty or arrogant, he spends a lot of time with the kids and ball boy for example, interacting with them as equals... And on top of his face he's handsome, with what women will adore him, girls will idolize him and mothers will see him as the son they wish they had, and men, a large majority, will feel great sympathy for him...
Right now in the USA, for example, it is a media phenomenon, but in Japan or China, it is too.
Even the big official tournaments like Roland Garros announce it as if it were the arrival of a messiah, a star...
And if to all this, he begins to win GS tournaments without stopping, then we can have an idol of the masses worldwide, that even tennis in general, can generate global momentum and publicity...
I appreciate you giving the Big Picture of what he brings to the table and his affect on everyone. To me, he's the most impressive teenager since Steffi Graff. I'm old enough to have seen the last 30 years+ of tennis. The Maturity of his game at 19, he's not just the future, he's here, right now. Zverev called him the best player in the world *RIGHT NOW*. He presents alot of problems to all players first and foremost his mentality/variety/feel for the game are unmatched for his age. He has all the hype, most wins so far, but here's the test: Can you put it all together for a grand slam? The Mental War of a grand slam and the physical toll it takes on a player is what makes the top guys in the world stand above them all. What it takes physically and mentally to win 1 grand slam, LET ALONE THE FREAKING FRENCH OPEN........I can see a quarterfinal, Nadal vs Alcaraz will be a 4 hour war out there. I'll go with the old War Horse in that one.

In theory, Alcaraz seems to have everything, both offensively and defensively and with a winning mentality, apart from the physique of a Mihura bull... His handicap may be his lack of experience since he was only 18 years old, that is, almost young age...
Perhaps we are witnessing the birth of a legend of tennis and perhaps of world sport...
Talent + mental strength (- experience) = future nr1
Carlos eres maravilloso, no me gustaba el tenis, y ahora tienes un adepto tuyo desde Beniel....>>
Carlos is Number one in the world and youngest championship now 👍
This is what i have been waiting for🔥
