didn't realize Van De Z had so many skills, this just shows how high and athletic are the pros, and when you think that was not even enough, crazy
in this match Carlos did 48 unforced errors, and Van did 40...so they werent playing at their best
what made the difference was the winners: Carlos did 28 and Van 12 i think
@@Gutuie2.0Yeah, last set Alcaraz cleaned up the errors which is good hence why it ended so convincingly
@ ok but when you look at the highlights those 2 guys are capable of unbelievable things - maybe not on each strokes - your comment is about something else
My friend if you're playing the qualifying or main draw of ATP Tour events you are no slouch!
@ maybe but Zverev is less spectacular, less flexible and has less possibilities to give an example - hope that's OK for you that I discover a side of Van De Z that I was not so much aware of
Van de Zandschulp entering beast mode every time he plays Alcaraz!!!!!!
Or Nadal, remember the Davis Cup aha
It was gratifying to see him muster everything he had and watch him put in his place. Alcaraz won’t forget suffering defeat from this unassuming player and that’s why he too had to up his game. He almost wanted to give him a bagel in the 3rd set to remind him of his ATP ranking.
I think it’s the matchup. The heavy topspin game is not so effective against tall strong guys like vdz on fast indoor courts.
I was at the match he beat Alcaraz at USO
He becomes Lord Boetic while playing against Alcaraz.
Watching Alcaraz play tennis is truly a pleasure.
Watching him make 1000 errors is also mesmerizing
@@roydondsahe played high risk tennis. His pretty consistent considering he plays high risk
Looks good in highlight reels but he was very patchy in this match. He's making a lot of errors at the moment unfortunately.
@@RexNur no he's not consistent enough now to win big tournaments...earlier he was definitely more consistent...he's making shit ton of mistakes
Imho so much more than Sinner (and I like him too)
Botic seems to always bring his best match against Carlos. Against other players he falls asleep but when he sees Carlos he becomes a vampire. Kudos to Carlos for fighting hard for this win. He made too many errors.
He has the flu
@@m.a.g.3920people mostly care about win unfortunately, no matter what the player is going through
@@evan3087 yeah, but they are dehumanizing players, like when people complain about the shouts they do,.. unless it's an obvious hindrance (like Sabalenka?) then it's up to them to do It or not, perhaps they feel they need to do It! People are overly critical lately (last years)
@@m.a.g.3920 Nada tiene que ver los gritos de Sabalenca que alarga hasta que su rival golpea la pelota de manera antideportiva, con exigir a los jugadores éxito cuando están enfermos o lesionados.
I will never understand why they need to show us the players’ box immediately at the end of the match instead of the HANDSHAKE AT THE NET
Both are completely unnecessary for highlights video
@@andrejchalas6799 the handshake is necessary, usually shows us who didn't watch the match the sportsmanship that was on display throughout. Frosty handshake=something was up in the match which you cant know from just points played
I know right or put the players box picture in picture....
Completamente d'accordo con l'osservazione di alexl4214. Sembra che le regie televisive ignorino le precedenze da accordare agli eventi: anzitutto quello centrale (la stretta di mano a rete), poi quelli accessori.
Man i hate it too🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Alcaraz is so fun to watch ! 🔥
Congratulations Carlos for your grit for the win. You pushed through even though you're not feeling well. So proud of you. Hope you go all the way to lift the trophy. Vamos!
A sweet revenge indeed for Carlitos. Carlos on fire!
He really wasn’t on fire until the 3rd set
On fire are you serios he resque to lost against a 70+ atp player for the second time in a row sinner just better also zverev
@@user-sq5nl8bm8jhe did the job despite having flu. You are just ranting here on someone
@lollo_3039sinner struggled to win against botic too in the first round of 2024 AO
@evan3087 aahhahahahaa he lost in 3 set no so shut up and he win us open
Carlos is making me enjoy tennis all over again. Hes got the strengths of all 3 of the big 3.
1.Hes got the variety and finesse in his game of federer
2. the passion, fighters spirit and physicality of Nadal
3. The amazing defense of djokovic
He has a worthy rival in Sinner who is his equal to push him.
Tennis has a bright future
Botic turns into prime Djokovic when he plays Alcaraz
So you‘re saying Prime Djokovic loses to Alcaraz…
@@Gilgarth It's a hyperbole lol
@idontrage25 He made 12 winners and 40 unforced errors. Is that prime Djokovic to you?
@@patrikmarflak6559 Beating Alcaraz is prime Djokovic to me
@CL2- It happened once. And Alcaraz was totally off that day.
Fue un partido muy difícil, pero Alcaraz confirmó su clase en el set decisivo y ganó. Vamoss!
Playing your weakest surface an indoor hard court and winning a tough 3 set match against the guy who straight setted you at a Slam... whilst sick. Has to be one of the best ways to build momentum and improve on that surface 😂😂
while having a cold😃
All of this against a top 70 player ahahahahah
Cierto pero Botic cuando juega contra Carlos siempre crece hasta top 10...lol.
@@allthesame3856no, he has the flu 🤯
@lollo_3039I thought the same when Djokovic lost against Nardi 😅
The wizard Carlitos on the action with his magical shots and elegant dropshots. The professional Spanish tennis competitor always makes such a remarkable and sublime impression.
I hope and dare I say pray that Alcaraz will be the all time Grand Slam Champion.
LOL He won't win more than 15 Slams
He'll never be a Sinner ......
@ doping sinner?
@@hansjohan3150Sinner will end up injured and retired, mark my words
@@Tennis_Expertyou’re cooked lad
Botic seems to be able to absorb all of Alcaraz's shots somehow
home court and play style advantage. he’s probably used to playing on this court and the faster speed also compliments his game
Well, until the third set...
Think he did 3 DFs in one game to give the break in the 3rd set. Really anticlimactic
I think alcaraz is capable enough that he can play any way he likes and he often likes to play along with the opponent's strength. Compared to sinner who would've finished this game 6-2 6-1 short circuiting botic's playstyle.
@@sidsharma0 I think Carlos has more fun than Sinner >:-)
Good match. The players are coming at Alcaraz hard, but he finds a way to pull through in most cases.
I like Sinner and have nothing against him, but Alcaraz with his emotions etc is SO MUCH MORE fun to watch!!!
What sane fan loves cheating doped sinner now? His robotic and emotionless game-play is boring as F.
@@Tennis_Expert would a smart fan write what you did? No
So connect the dots
@@Tennis_Experthahaha, boring for sure. Not sure about the rest
Absolutely. He is the only player who is exciting to watch
@@francescozappi8747 But a triggered italian Closteboy fan would write something in defence of a certified cheater. I guess you got busted Italiota 🥕💉🤡🤣🤣🤣
I love watching these two compete - very close skill levels. It must be a blast for them!!!
Sin estar del todo bien del fuerte resfriado , ha sabido luchar , esperar y vencer. Una grandisima revancha porque Botic , no se lo puso nada fácil. En el tercer set , se desinfló del gran esfuerzo realizado.
VAMOS CARLITOS 💪!! ENORME ALCARAZ ❤❤❤
There is no other player where I rewind any video of him as often as with Carlos.
Thats true..for highlights he is unbeliveable
La variété dans le jeu d Alcaraz assez impressionnant , il révolutionne le tennis actuellement 🎾🥎👌👌👌🤗
I love how Alcaraz plays tennis he is truly amazing
Alcaraz game is such a treat to watch.
Only in highlights
@lollo_3039ok boomer
@lollo_3039sinner’s game is boring in highlights as well 😅
@@evan3087😂😂..but he knows the recipe to win
@@pabloalonso6172 but he is boring to watch the match. Nobody thrives on game wining point 😅
Revenge from Carlitos. The first set was incredibly important.
Hardly a revenge… this is an ATP event while Van de Zandschulp kicked him out of a Grand Slam
Carlos kicked VDZ out in front of his home crowd.
@@patrikmarflak6559 Still, Alcaraz is #3 and VDZ is #84.
@@Gilgarth ok and? You think Van De doesn’t want to win this event? Carlos already has 4 grand slams, don’t this disrespect him, he destroyed Van De
Botic is inconsistent but on a good day he can beat almost everyone. I see you are sad Alcaraz hasn’t lost to him twice in a row. It’s OK, you will get over it.
What a match-up between these two. Fascinating.
Thats the way to focus..be grateful for the show
Carlitos under the weather playing a crowd favorite who last upset him!!!! On his least favorite surface 😮All and all good work Carlitos
Vamos Charlieee
Alcaraz is still searching for his prime form...
He has time enough
Bravo carlitos ❤❤❤❤😊
Grande Carlitos, vamossss!!🤩🤩🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨✨🤗🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
VDZ seems to play at least very close to his prime against Alcaraz. He seems to play so well. Alcaraz has to work even harder on fast Hard Courts than on other types of surfaces.
Great win Carlitos….get well soon!
I thought lighting would strike twice today. I didn't watch the match but it looked tight.
Impressive level 🔥🔥🔥
Even if he won, you can clearly see that Alcaraz struggles a lot playing indoor courts, hope he can improve with the time passing
Exciting match!❤
For the only highlight watchers. Botic had almost 30 more UE than winners. Carlos wasn't great either but better in that regard. Still super entertaining points.
Será irregular, pero es una gozada ver jugar a Alcaraz, mucho más divertido que Sinner o cualquier otro desde que no está Federer.
Great match so exciting to watch. Carlos tennis is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I knew this would be a tough match for Carlos. VDZ has an amazing first serve but his second serve sucks. He is an attacking player that can come up with some unexpected shots on both flanks. He's a great mover and is able to get to the drop shots easily. I think the match was conditioned by poor serving by both players at different times. In the first and second serves, Carlos had a very low first serve percentage and was struggling to hold. In the final set, he improved while VDZ didn't win a lot of free points. He couldn't keep the aggression going for more than 2 h and 30 minutes and made mistakes too.
Go Carlos!!
Alcaraz needs to cut those unforced errors off
This is Carlos' revenge match, right? Congratulations Carlos!
Man zandshulp is no easy task
Great match. Congrats
Vamoss Carlitos
RG es tuyo!
Carlos will need to up his service level, and produce even more shot variety - on his backhand especially..if he hopes to lift this Title eventually!
Variety is not the issue for him. He needs a potent first serve though. It’s the biggest technical weakness in his game.
u guys are soo fast lol
Joy to watch
Am i the only one who thought that alcaraz could've performed better? Like 50% of the match was him making unnessecary errors. He decided the outcome of the whole match tbh, by either playing good or bad..
He is normally inconsistent but he has the flu nowadays so probably is just that
Botic played well in the match, while Carlos seemed unable to express his full potential on hard court. Let's wait for the next matches to have a clearer view of Alcaraz's value on this surface.
Before the match, Botic said he has good chances against Carlos because of ups and downs in Carlos’s game. Very true, every Top 100 ATP player has chances to win against Carlos. ATP player openly saying it means they are confident that Carlos isn’t going to have a consistent game.
Especially old and injured GOATs :)
Probotic diet is healthy for Carlitos. Creating really good tennis to inspire each other
great match overall
Go Carlos!
Carlos needs to get ahold of the dips in play he has in the middle of matches. He’s so electric to watch and good for the sport, but he’ll be even better if he can just remain focused the whole match
Vamos carajo
VDZ is dangerous
Only when playing Alcaraz😂
alcaraz is probably got a cold given the nose thing still managed to get it done
Nice match
My boy Botic stay giving Alcaraz trouble
amazing tennis
AL ready for next Grand Slam
Next GS will have healthy Djokovic waiting for him. :)
@@Tennis_Expert🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Alcaraz is the greates ever tennis player no doubt but the emotional inteligence of Van De Zandschulp is something else. when he won the last encounter with Carlos at US open he did not even celebrate he felt sorry for everyone that they will not be able to watch more Carlos at US open, check it out i mean who does that after winning against the worlds best? only smart and humble people
1:25 VAMOOOS CARLITOOOOS!!
Alcaraz necesita mejorar el servicio (o al menos que lo parezca) lo antes posible. No tiene puntos gratis, necesita ahorrarse ciertos peloteos y sobre todo sostener su saque sin problemas. Lo están quebrando con facilidad.
Lo que necesita de verdad es bajar el número de errores no forzados
Lo está haciendo. Está trabajando para mejorar el saque.
Sudakkka!!!
just me or Alcaraz doesnt go for the lethal winning federer forehands we used to see in 2021 and 2022? Remember that match against Korda on grass where he just clobbered the ball over and over fast/flat/deep /low winners? Or the USopen against Tsitsipas 2021? Now hes playing more slow and patient like djokovic. Nothing wrong but seeing those short point winners were fun to watch
yes you are right. his team has made some changes since last year for hard court matches. it will take some to understand his game. btw i feel he was more mature playing those winning shots rather than making rallies.
His coaches understand that Tennis is a marathon, not a sprint. Just look at Sinner. Stole 50% of Novak's ex-team members. He plays to win, not to entertain the crowd.
Course Botic plays his best against Alcaraz
BVZ has not used his chances and movements in 1st set if he had used the result would have completely different.
It feels strange to start the highlights with Alcaraz already down a break - at least show us the break point!
Goed gespeeld Botic! Je staat ze weer beter te raken, de resultaten komen vanzelf als je zo blijft spelen!
Every player has their own nemesis. Botic is definitely Alcaraz’s nemesis, but gladly he won this time. 🎉
Vamos!!!
You can always know who won as the vast majority of the points shown in the highlights are won by the winner, even in 2 close sets like the first 2!
This matchup reminds me of Nadal and Davydenko. That man has defeated Rafa every damn time in a hard court.
Alcaraz overcame this match through a lot of hardship i must say.
Good game Botic
Botic seems like that one strange player that has Alcaraz’s number, he upset him in the US open last year and has just had a good match against him.
revenge! take that
Lucky 1set TB or it would have been : Asta manyana Carlitos - again. :)
lol I thought the video was sped up for a second
The Dutch are very imaginative coming up with boys' names. Botic, Matwé, Tallon...Or maybe those parents spent a lot of time in Amsterdam coffee shops perhaps ;-)
Those names are very rare in the Netherlands
Cultural difference is a subjective reference - I am sure Walt sounds like "What" to them 😉
@ Actually the Dutch are relatively good with English, I'm sure 'Walt' wouldn't be a tongue twister to them :-)
@@antipaganda5635 Thank God for that !
FYI, your name Kurtz (KUR) in certain languages has a different meaning (d1ck) :)
ive just been watching older clips from 2005. wow todays modern tennis is just spin the ball eveyone just playing the same style basically. gone are the days off roddick, lopez, gasquet, nadal, federer, nadal, nalbandian, hewitt, ljubicic etc
AMAZING
El juego del holandés es un similar al de Sinner pero 2 niveles mas abajo
Alcaraz has no problems with Sinner or his fake copy. :) He is better than both.
@@Tennis_Expert😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@albertoartuso80 3>0 in H2H only in 2024 🤫🤫🤫 Closteboy cooked by Alcaraz for 3 consecutive matches (with 2 on hard-courts) 🤣
Match off the year😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉
By no means an easy match for Carlos, quite the opposite. Van De Z always makes him work super hard!!!
Alcaraz needs to play more consistently. Right now his skill and athleticism is what is helping him win, but that may not be enough to beat a player like Sinner.
Como ocurrió en RG ? 🤣🤣
Alcaraz 's revenge is reciprocated
What rank is Botic again? :)
I understand what u mean. and you no what I mean...top ranking just a number.. alcaraz.. human beings make mistakes..what I mean reciprocated.. because alcaraz once loss with the opponent.. understand...
@@dinhamid3832 No worries. He needed this win after a tough loss vs. Novak at AO QF. Hope he can go far in the tournament. ✌️
Carlos still dropping break points too easy
Curse of VVD is broken now Clarlitos can finally play freely😊😊😊😊😊😊
A good victory against this fridge. No feeling in this man 😅
😅😅
LA APISONADORA ESPAÑOLA QUE MAQUINA EN ROTERDAN TAN ESPECTACULAR EL JUEGO DE NUESTRO CARLITOS ALCARAZ , VAMOS 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
Digne successeur de NADAL🤠j'espère vous divertir avec ma discipline assez insolite et très atypique.soyez curieux😉
pas le même QI tennistique. Plan A, B etc
Alcaraz needs to get back to his prime form if not he will never get back to the number one spot
Why don't we also see VDZ's breaks of serve ?
this is an carlos fan channel, you didnt know?
We need an unbiased match review.
They showed the most important breaks, which included VDZ's break in the second
I swear, some people just want to get mad all day
@@Jingoa would kill them to put 2 more points and make it a 5 minute video? No one's mad, but it makes no sense
Cuz he didn’t win? If you wanted to see then maybe he should’ve won 💀
Why the cameraman filming public instead of the final handshake??
The crowd outside?
Infamous second set. Carlos just takes naps and doesn’t care. 😂 congrats man. Love Botic but Carlos had a bad day at the office the last time. Lol.
Botic is more spectacular at what he can do than zverev, medvedev, ruud and tsitsipas. His non chalant and laid back makes it more interesting when he makes these spectacular shots. Its sad that often he chokes and cant close out a set and match.
Definitely can see Alcaraz being weaker against hard court specialist.
reminds me of Nadal having to deal with specialists like Nikolay Davydenko
So he can only play like this again Alcaraz? Noted
As long as Carlos quit the show man business.
It's like im watching 2013 Nadal
