Zverev's serve was absolutely insane here. 85% 1st serves with 94/111 made. Even if Carlos was playing at his 3rd set level the whole match, he would've struggled to win.
@@dididubalier2196 no is not go and check, I read zverev was way ahead, but I guess it was a bad source, still Zverev is ahead, and this guy saying that Sasha won because Alcaraz allowed it
I am here to read the comment section, Alcaraz fan said he will win the Aus open, guys don't forget that tennis is not only physical fitness but also mental maturity. Thus todays match Zverev fit in both physical and mental maturity , he deserve to win the game but I doesn't mean Alcaraz isn't fit. Congrats Zverev
I saw many more unforced errors by Carlos during the first two sets than usual. Zverev had an awesome first serve, but despite that, most of his “winners” were actually when Carlos made errors.
@@tennishackAlso remember that styles make matches. Zverev has a game that can, if he's on, impose his will on just about anyone. If he's getting a high % of first serves and controlling his forehand, he's a tough out for anyone, particularly if they're not playing at their absolute peak.
@@HeavyTopspin - yep with players who hit the ball hard and have huge serves when they are ON it's tough to stop them and obviously it comes to the mental aspect also where sometimes Zverev falters!
@@tennishackthe think is that is not like 3/10 times is that Zverev is up in the H2H and has won’t the last two matches against Carlos, and also twice in a GS SF. It doesn’t tell you that Alcaraz is the better player because when they play is Sacha de better player
In retrospect, Zverev should be happy that the match got extended to 4 sets. The last set gave him an invaluable experience that would only boost his confidence level for semi and possible final.
This win will surely help give him all the confidence to go on and give Medvedev a great challenge. He needs to win that semi-finals match. I hope to see Zverev in the final match against Sinner. Novak needs to give it a rest...LOL!!!
people forget Zverev was predicted to win slams probably too early, but until his injury was projected to be in top 5… he has had to mature in numerous ways, but we are seeing him regain his status per early projections. Bravo… but we also see how difficult it is to beat Carlos, but he can be beaten🎾
"how difficult is to beat alcaraz but he can be beaten"....looks like this guy dont watch tennis. like really, everyone is beaten him a lot, Zverev won in 4 sets, not in 10, what are you talking about he was outclassed there.
I think Zverve's most improved area is emotional maturity. He was very fragile previously possibly due to all of the hype and pressure of expections of where his career should be. Serving was insane! But even after Alcarez hit great shots, he just went back to work. He did not have that focus before. Outstanding match!
Even though I was going for Carlos, I’m probably even more happy for Zverev. Maybe this is his year. He was clinical in the early sets. Said it elsewhere, but 89% 1st serve for first set, and 90% for set 2 is insane. 85% for the entire match. The amount of tennis he’s played this month (and even this AO) is also insane. He is dominating. Hope he gets good rest, and has a great semi. It would be extraordinary if he went all the way. Congratulations Sascha 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Carlos got totally outplayed here. It wasn't just Zverev 's serve but his shot selection, The way he manoeuvred his groundstrokes with precision, constantly unsettling Alcaraz and never letting him have a real crack at it.. Alcaraz certainly needs to up his ante to beat Sasha or Sinner. They play more compact game than him.
Agree -- Alcaraz is a human highlight film but he needs to be able to grind when needed. I do think you'll see other top players -- Djoko, Meddie and Sinner really work his backhand
Zverev game is one of the worst match ups against Carlos'. But Carlos is still young and with time his youthful exuberance will dissipate allowing him to have a more complete game,........he has time!
Zverev's level was impressive today. He looked very solid at the moment of serving and hitting the ball. There were many long rallies in this match in where he imposed the conditions to play, even after losing the third set tie-break where Alcaraz recovered himself on the court.
I think this match is a crucial wake-up call for Alcaraz. The showmanship and shotmaking skills are certainly fun, but unless they're paired with extensive discipline, they're not a recipe for successful Slam runs again and again. Not an exact comparison, certainly, but look at Kyrgios' career. You need massive amounts of focus and repetition to win lots of these tours. Even Roger with all of his magical skills was the epitome of consistency. Carlos is young and has much time ahead of him to grow, but maturation is needed if he wants to become a great of the game.
well said. Alcaraz has lost to many players other than Djokovic since Wimbledon 2023. Alcaraz's weakness is that he often gives up his court positions carelessly....
I agree, these skills need to be developed 98/100 on precision to make them reliable, he could've gone for safer shots for example in 4th set when he was about to break Sacha's serve, but still goes for slices even tho it landed, it wasn't the best option. I really like his playstyle cuz it's really fun to watch, but it needs polishing or not to rely on them sometimes when it matters that much cuz then he ends up short and hitting the net or something.
@@howard5992 Did you not watch the match? There were so many times where Carlos played drop shots or blasted (and overhit) cross-court forehands instead of playing the higher % shot.

The media loves Carlos and hypes him up to much, he’s got a lot of talent but it’s way to early to talk records and about his future. He still has a lot of major improvement in his game
The epic USO R4 match against Sinner is when I knew Zverev was truly back in winning form. Then he won Chengdu. Spending 2023 getting his ranking back inside the Top 8 to qualify for Turin exhausted him. Zverev started 2024 in excellent form with United Cup. It was insane to watch the quality of his singles & MX matches. AO started rocky with REAL battles, but he showed great form once again & improved on his h2h against Alcaraz who hasn't reached the Final of a tournament since You-Know-Who beat him in Cincy.
Not sure if it's just the headband but Zverev looks the fittest I've ever seen him. Carlos gives me the impression that he likes toying with opponents to please the crowd
He saltado de alegría por este triunfo de Zverev. Me quejo de que los cronistas en español solo reconocían a su rival también el público no lo apoyaba lo suficiente por eso es más valioso que haya ganado este encuentro a pesar de las molestias en su uñas de los pies sangrantes . Lo amo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
E aí Alcaraz? Provocou o djoko e levou uma surra do Zverev? Humildade! Você não ganhou nada para tanta marra. Gostava de você, agora? Jogador que dá e passa. Parabéns Sverev! Só vibre pois merece. Grande jogo, mesmo com torcida contra. 👏👏👏👏
There's no denying that Nole is a legend. I have absolute respect for him as a tennis player. But it's time for a fresh face to win AO this time. It wasn't like that till the end of last year, but now, and this is just my personal opinion - watching Novak is getting a little bit stale. I feel like he's won everything and proved himself as the GOAT beyond any doubts. May be now's the time for a change of guard? If Sascha or Sinner win, that would be great for them and tennis. But first, Z needs to surmount the wall named Meddy.
O problema é Djokovic logo a frente. Porque djoko, não é um covarde como Alcaraz que claramente entregou o jogo. Djokovic amassou a auto estima de Alcaraz desde Cincinnati não fez mais uma final! Será que ele vai esperar Djokovic se aposentar, para ele voltar as vitórias e a outra final de slam?
One thing that Carlos needs to learn is to pace his game and go for the winning strokes when it matters most. It is a sign that he needs to mature on his mindset in the entirety of the game. When you're young and have all the energy, you have the tendency to give all your might- it's not about that. He is a great champion already- he just needs to slow down.
Thats a problem with all the players unfortunately. 100 % on each shot, each game. Doesnt work that way over a longer period of time, cant keep sustained performances over years. The earlier gen knew when and how to use their primary weapons. No wonder 3 of them collectively won 66 of the 84 slams since 2003.
Zverev está diferente, tiene un aire más calmado, con más control de sí mismo y con un control y poder mayor. Acá sonos fans de Djocovic, pero Zverev merece 1 grand slam🤝
ZVREV was the beast til longtime, we forgot about his injury on the game against Nadal, which game he did an outstanding performance before the injury, I think without this injury he could be a legend
Zverev has calmed his nerves. He is not double faulting on big points, forcing the opponents to hit the shots. He has a great chance to make it to the finals here.
This is probably the 2nd most biased crowd I have ever seen at this level ( 1st has to be 2019 Wimbledon final crowd) . Of all the odds this guy was able to dominate a young lad who carries a recent Wimbledon title with him , this shows the mental toughness of Zverev
Zverev's forehand is so much improved. It's as good as his backhand. That's the difference in play from last year. He's just so much better than Carlos now and it's on Carlos to raise his game.
No, Zverev's backhand is outstanding, world class, & pretty much runs in his family. His forehand will never be anywhere close to that, but on the run, it is very dangerous. When he's nervous & not on the run, he doesn't always accelerate enough through it.
Very happy for Sascha, but he could have easily wrapped this one in straight sets. I didn't see the match - how did it go from him leading 5-2 in the 3rd to Carlos winning it in a breaker?
He got tight when serving for the match, and then Alcaraz raised his own level to take the tiebreak easily. I don't recall Zverev leading by two breaks, though. Edit: Zverev led 5-3, got broken to 4-5 on serve. So yes, Zverev only led by one break.
@@JeanP101 Yes, it happens to the best of them including Rafa, but it is absolutely infuriating!!!! Rafa got broken serving for the championship at AO against Medvedev but at least he was able to redeem himself and win in the end.
Alot of players moan during their shots... Stop hating on him... You just happy that someone finally got to beat him... The William sisters moaned ... Nadal definitely moans and Novak... The loudest was Maria Sharopova... Alcarez is not that type of dude that has to do that... You just can't stand the fact that he dominates over who you want to win!!! u silly broad...
Alcaraz tries to get cute. It's okay when you're safe and leading in a match not when you're a break or set down. He'll lose many more matches unless he learns to be more disciplined in his decision making.
Alcaraz is very talented, but the one quality he doesn’t have that the big 3 had & Djokovic still has is the ability to win (and just do enough) when you’re not at your best. He showed up about an hour too late & Zverev totally deserved to win
ZVEREV HANDLED NOT ONLY MATCH BUT ALSO CROWD...EVERY POINT ALCARAZ GETS CROWD REACTS LIKE MATCH POINT... I'M NOT AGAINST TO HIM,HE HAS GREAT STAMINA & ALSO SOME POINTS ARE FABULOUS... BUT ZVEREV HANDLED MATCH WITH CALM &COOL MIND SET...
I mean he said he didnt have to play many tpurnaments to be competitive. Thats what he gets. I think early success got into alcaraz head. I am a big fan of his but i think that is the reality that i see. Regardless zverev played incredible tennis and im really glad for him, comming from an injury like his and seeing him work all the way back to his former self is amazing.
Carlos was trying to outhit Zverev for most of the match, which was the wrong approach. He did well to come back and snag that 3rd set by mixing up his shots more
AO crowd so much against the German and for the Spanish! A bit surprising to see. Zverev must be extra pleased to win in that situation. I think he has good chance against Medvedev as well, particularly as the latter played gruelling 5-setter against Hubi. Hoping to see two blockbuster SFs.❤
The crowd added to the pressure for Alcaraz. Whenever Zverev was about to serve, they were screaming at Carlos to get it done & cheering whenever Zverev made an error. The truth is the match was always on Zverev's racket & the h2h reflects that 5-3.
Glad to see Zverev back to form. I would love to see him and Sinner both in the finals. Just tired of Medvedev and Joker at this point. But they will have to earn it of course.
Zverev jogou muito, o saque o ajudou, mas jogou muito, cobriu toda a quadra(procurando não dar muito ângulo) e colocou o Alcaraz lá atrás sem dar tanto tempo para pensar as jogadas, o que deve ser feito por qualquer um que queira vencer o espanhol. Usou muito bem de velocidade e precisão nos golpes, enquanto o Carlos não conseguia fazer com que seus golpes tivessem força, a quadra não permite(talvez a bola também), aí o Sasha sempre respondia com inteligência, seja com winner ou bola longa em cima do espanhol. A falta de potência não surtia efeito no Zverev, isso tmb minou a confiança do Alcaraz, seus golpes, sem profundidade, contando com uma força que não fez efeito, eram como bolas dadas para o sasha usar toda a quadra como queria. A partir do terceiro set, mais solto e mais técnico, sem colocar suas fichas só na pancadaria, conseguiu vencer, mas com o alemão ainda consistente, não foi capaz de reverter. Bela vitória
@@iss6044 "Usually he beats him pretty handily." No, Zverev beats Alcaras handily. Before this match, Zverev was ahead in H2H 4-3, and 5-3 after this match.
For real??? Zverev's promise has finally unfolded. You could see the determination in his eyes. He took himself to a whole new level like Agassi did in "99. I may be a new fan. Sure do like him a lot more than Alcaraz. Let's see more of this kind of magic!
Sinner, Zverev and Carlos will be competing for Majors for many years to come. I can't say anyone of them will be dominant except to say Carlos will be dominant on clay.
El padre de zverev es inmutable ese señor, feliz el hermano pero el tipo como si nada... Despierte señor, que es su hijo menor el que está triunfando y marcando historia x2🤦🏿♂️
Alcaraz paid with the first game of Set 4 by trying to be cheeky at the net...that point was on his racquet...momentum was with Alcaraz...having said that ... Congratulations to Zverev...
He is no Federer who will cruise through the draw without breaking a sweat and with no requirement of battle hardening. Unlucky for him, that his draw turned out to be easy(or he make it look like that with his top notch play). But he needs at least one very long drawn tough fight match prior to reaching the later rounds.
Zverev's serving was unreal in this match, wow!
That seemed to be a big difference in the first 2 sets. Alcaraz was spinning in a lot of serves and then he bumped it up in the third.
Insane rallies in 3rd n 4th set. Carlos gets to everything
That insane performance from Alcaraz during tiebreaker was stunning. However Zverev deserved to win this one after 1st 2 dominant sets
I thought his backhand was magical
Service is one not the key. Otherwise John Isner and Roddick would demolish all Big 3.
Zverev's serve was absolutely insane here. 85% 1st serves with 94/111 made. Even if Carlos was playing at his 3rd set level the whole match, he would've struggled to win.

Carlito menosprezou o adversário desafiando Djocko para final do AO, mas a arrogância precede a ruína. Alçaraz, vc ainda é novo... seja humilde!
Hablo Inglés y Sastellano... Pero, esto último me permite entender el Portugués... Muy bien dicho, muy sabias palabras, hermano portugués...
The epic USO R4 match against Sinner is when I knew Zverev was truly back in winning form. Then he won Chengdu. Spending 2023 getting his ranking back inside the Top 8 to qualify for Turin exhausted him. Zverev started 2024 in excellent form with United Cup. It was insane to watch the quality of his singles & MX matches. AO started rocky with REAL battles, but he showed great form once again & improved on his h2h against Alcaraz who hasn't reached the Final of a tournament since You-Know-Who beat him in Cincy.
I love that exchange at the end of the match. Alcaraz taking defeat as a gentleman and with such class
Yeah, Fedal clearly lacked in that respect. Kudos to Carlitos.
Not sure if it's just the headband but Zverev looks the fittest I've ever seen him. Carlos gives me the impression that he likes toying with opponents to please the crowd
Zverev always beats him
@@KaiserM3
Clearly not true !
@@juliaclarke2978 😂😂 watch the record kid, is like 4-2 or something like that. Alcaraz need to learn how to play
@@KaiserM3actually it's 5-2 yeah embarrassing for Alcaraz that zverev destroyed him completely & has 5 win against him!
Me re-enamoro Zverev, que nivel, desde la copa que lo ví jugar me sorprendió lo bien que jugó (dinámico, potencia y consistencia) 💪
That tie break alone is the reason we love Carlos so much
He saltado de alegría por este triunfo de Zverev. Me quejo de que los cronistas en español solo reconocían a su rival también el público no lo apoyaba lo suficiente por eso es más valioso que haya ganado este encuentro a pesar de las molestias en su uñas de los pies sangrantes . Lo amo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Alcaraz estaba apurado. Todo lo queria hacer rápido.
Le falta naduracion y entender eñ juego a Alcaraz.
Demasiado deroche de energia.
E aí Alcaraz? Provocou o djoko e levou uma surra do Zverev? Humildade! Você não ganhou nada para tanta marra. Gostava de você, agora? Jogador que dá e passa. Parabéns Sverev! Só vibre pois merece. Grande jogo, mesmo com torcida contra. 👏👏👏👏
Pq ele provocou o Djokovic? O que ele disse?
@@trancebeliever foi falado em toda mídia sobre isso. Não viu? Ele esqueceu que haviam outros jogos antes do Djokovic. Precisa ser mais profissional
Im rooting for Zverev. He was so close on RG, so this is his chance of finally getting his first slam
Won't defeat the GOAT
@@brettanthony3127So… in you Mind your goat defeated to Sinner already 😅.
no one can defeat goat
There's no denying that Nole is a legend. I have absolute respect for him as a tennis player. But it's time for a fresh face to win AO this time. It wasn't like that till the end of last year, but now, and this is just my personal opinion - watching Novak is getting a little bit stale. I feel like he's won everything and proved himself as the GOAT beyond any doubts. May be now's the time for a change of guard? If Sascha or Sinner win, that would be great for them and tennis. But first, Z needs to surmount the wall named Meddy.
O problema é Djokovic logo a frente. Porque djoko, não é um covarde como Alcaraz que claramente entregou o jogo. Djokovic amassou a auto estima de Alcaraz desde Cincinnati não fez mais uma final! Será que ele vai esperar Djokovic se aposentar, para ele voltar as vitórias e a outra final de slam?
Unbelievable service from Zverev 💣
STOP PUTTING THE WINNER IN THE THUMBNAIL
This very same level Sascha produced in the last two sets against Nole in the Tokyo Olympic semifinal
One thing that Carlos needs to learn is to pace his game and go for the winning strokes when it matters most. It is a sign that he needs to mature on his mindset in the entirety of the game. When you're young and have all the energy, you have the tendency to give all your might- it's not about that. He is a great champion already- he just needs to slow down.
Thats a problem with all the players unfortunately. 100 % on each shot, each game. Doesnt work that way over a longer period of time, cant keep sustained performances over years. The earlier gen knew when and how to use their primary weapons. No wonder 3 of them collectively won 66 of the 84 slams since 2003.
2022 RG QF repeat. Tennis is all about Match ups. This is another one to watch in the coming yrs
Nasty crowd, congrats Zverev, cheers from LA
Their exclamations put more pressure on Carlost, tbh.
The difference of heights between the 2 players is dazzling.
That highlights show not even close what was that fabulous mach! One of the best ever played !
Zverev está diferente, tiene un aire más calmado, con más control de sí mismo y con un control y poder mayor. Acá sonos fans de Djocovic, pero Zverev merece 1 grand slam🤝
ZVREV was the beast til longtime, we forgot about his injury on the game against Nadal, which game he did an outstanding performance before the injury, I think without this injury he could be a legend
Zverev has calmed his nerves. He is not double faulting on big points, forcing the opponents to hit the shots. He has a great chance to make it to the finals here.
Zverev lowered his ball toss making his serve more reliable under pressure.
This is probably the 2nd most biased crowd I have ever seen at this level ( 1st has to be 2019 Wimbledon final crowd) . Of all the odds this guy was able to dominate a young lad who carries a recent Wimbledon title with him , this shows the mental toughness of Zverev
Watch US Open 2015 final. You will know what bias means.
@@Stopitgetsomehelp3012
I’d say USO2015 F, Wimbledon 2019 F, and AO2022 F were all super biased.
@@SJ-di5zulol Medvedev and Novak is anti hero
I thought they were playing in Spain.
Imagine another final between this two guys in the Australian Open, a second remach and a long one.
Alcaraz is finding out that it is one thing to be the hunter and another to be the hunted. A lot harder to stay at the top then to just get there.
Zverev's forehand is so much improved. It's as good as his backhand. That's the difference in play from last year. He's just so much better than Carlos now and it's on Carlos to raise his game.
No, Zverev's backhand is outstanding, world class, & pretty much runs in his family. His forehand will never be anywhere close to that, but on the run, it is very dangerous. When he's nervous & not on the run, he doesn't always accelerate enough through it.
I am soooooooooooooo happy to see Zverev back (after) to play so well.❤
I remember Zverev getting injured at the wrong time while playing against rafa at Roland Garros...Hopefully his time has come to win a Slam
Very happy for Sascha, but he could have easily wrapped this one in straight sets. I didn't see the match - how did it go from him leading 5-2 in the 3rd to Carlos winning it in a breaker?
He got tight when serving for the match, and then Alcaraz raised his own level to take the tiebreak easily. I don't recall Zverev leading by two breaks, though.
Edit: Zverev led 5-3, got broken to 4-5 on serve. So yes, Zverev only led by one break.
It does happen often. Fed lost to Djokovic 3 times when serving for the match at 40-15.
@@JeanP101 Yes, it happens to the best of them including Rafa, but it is absolutely infuriating!!!! Rafa got broken serving for the championship at AO against Medvedev but at least he was able to redeem himself and win in the end.
If it isn’t Novak, it should be Zverev this year at the AO. Unreal level today 💥🤯
No bro sinner is in different level now he ll win
Zverev va Medvedev
Lol
Djokovic will win
I am a Federer fan but want to see Djokovic win the trophy ❤
@@GyemTshering-jm4subefore that match you people were saying Carlos vs sinner final😅😅
@@kartarsinghgurjar1279 bro I never said that just DNT use u people..for me Djokovic or sinner who ever goes to final will one of them ll win for sure
6:38 what a point from both players!
I really wish this one wasn’t spoiled with the thumbnail
who cares ... grow up ...
Those silly noises and continues fist clenching 😮
Alcaraz moans at every shot to mess with his opponents. I can’t stand it.
Alot of players moan during their shots... Stop hating on him... You just happy that someone finally got to beat him... The William sisters moaned ... Nadal definitely moans and Novak... The loudest was Maria Sharopova... Alcarez is not that type of dude that has to do that... You just can't stand the fact that he dominates over who you want to win!!! u silly broad...
Two amazing players & not fist pumping on the opponents errors-- so nice to watch..😊❤✌🌻🎾🎾...
Alcaraz tries to get cute. It's okay when you're safe and leading in a match not when you're a break or set down. He'll lose many more matches unless he learns to be more disciplined in his decision making.
what a fantastic game , that should be a final
Alcaraz is very talented, but the one quality he doesn’t have that the big 3 had & Djokovic still has is the ability to win (and just do enough) when you’re not at your best.
He showed up about an hour too late & Zverev totally deserved to win
He is no talent,he is just a piece of s..t
Zverev deserve the big slam
ZVEREV HANDLED NOT ONLY MATCH BUT ALSO CROWD...EVERY POINT ALCARAZ GETS CROWD REACTS LIKE MATCH POINT... I'M NOT AGAINST TO HIM,HE HAS GREAT STAMINA & ALSO SOME POINTS ARE FABULOUS... BUT ZVEREV HANDLED MATCH WITH CALM &COOL MIND SET...
Congrats Sascha! You nailed it!
This was absolutely gut wrenching to watch for an Alcaraz fan and lets just say not so much Zverev fan
I mean he said he didnt have to play many tpurnaments to be competitive. Thats what he gets. I think early success got into alcaraz head. I am a big fan of his but i think that is the reality that i see. Regardless zverev played incredible tennis and im really glad for him, comming from an injury like his and seeing him work all the way back to his former self is amazing.
Alcaraz should stop grunting like dog in heat. Very 90s.
OMG WITH THE THUMBNAILS! You guys NEED to change this..god....
I’m glad someone brought Carlos down to earth.
The insufferable fans are the real problem.
Carlos was trying to outhit Zverev for most of the match, which was the wrong approach. He did well to come back and snag that 3rd set by mixing up his shots more
AO crowd so much against the German and for the Spanish! A bit surprising to see. Zverev must be extra pleased to win in that situation.
I think he has good chance against Medvedev as well, particularly as the latter played gruelling 5-setter against Hubi. Hoping to see two blockbuster SFs.❤
The crowd added to the pressure for Alcaraz. Whenever Zverev was about to serve, they were screaming at Carlos to get it done & cheering whenever Zverev made an error. The truth is the match was always on Zverev's racket & the h2h reflects that 5-3.
It's good to see Sascha back playing at a high level
Bien por Zverev !!! Me gusta su estilo de juego.
Sacha played spectacularly. Great serving, solid defence and good aggressive play 👏🏻👏🏻 Semis are gonna be lit
PLEASE STOP SPOILING IN YOUR THUMBNAILS! Is it too difficult?
They won't listen.
Que alegría verte recuperado Alexander
Glad to see Zverev back to form. I would love to see him and Sinner both in the finals. Just tired of Medvedev and Joker at this point. But they will have to earn it of course.
Haven’t watched the game, the highlight is so intense!!! 🔥
Zverev jogou muito, o saque o ajudou, mas jogou muito, cobriu toda a quadra(procurando não dar muito ângulo) e colocou o Alcaraz lá atrás sem dar tanto tempo para pensar as jogadas, o que deve ser feito por qualquer um que queira vencer o espanhol. Usou muito bem de velocidade e precisão nos golpes, enquanto o Carlos não conseguia fazer com que seus golpes tivessem força, a quadra não permite(talvez a bola também), aí o Sasha sempre respondia com inteligência, seja com winner ou bola longa em cima do espanhol. A falta de potência não surtia efeito no Zverev, isso tmb minou a confiança do Alcaraz, seus golpes, sem profundidade, contando com uma força que não fez efeito, eram como bolas dadas para o sasha usar toda a quadra como queria. A partir do terceiro set, mais solto e mais técnico, sem colocar suas fichas só na pancadaria, conseguiu vencer, mas com o alemão ainda consistente, não foi capaz de reverter. Bela vitória
Some of those points in the 4th set are incredible.
Zverev is older and has more experience, and it showed. But Alcaraz is still a huge upcoming talent.
Most athletic tennis player I've ever seen. He's a monster. I'm shocked he lost to Zverev. Usually he beats him pretty handily.
@@iss6044 "Usually he beats him pretty handily." No, Zverev beats Alcaras handily. Before this match, Zverev was ahead in H2H 4-3, and 5-3 after this match.
Alcaraz's volleys weren't like he always played them, zverev were very performant today he deserves winning.
This was the Zverev that killed Novak at the Olympics and took the gold medal 😮😮
For real??? Zverev's promise has finally unfolded. You could see the determination in his eyes. He took himself to a whole new level like Agassi did in "99. I may be a new fan. Sure do like him a lot more than Alcaraz. Let's see more of this kind of magic!
Sinner, Zverev and Carlos will be competing for Majors for many years to come. I can't say anyone of them will be dominant except to say Carlos will be dominant on clay.
Unless we can have a 100% Thiem back... Injury is a thief, I wonder have many majors could he have bested by now...
I'm a huge Alcaraz fan, but I'm glad to see Zverev back at his best.
El padre de zverev es inmutable ese señor, feliz el hermano pero el tipo como si nada... Despierte señor, que es su hijo menor el que está triunfando y marcando historia x2🤦🏿♂️
Maybe if Alcatraz stopped grunting so much he could conserve some energy and do better
Alcaraz paid with the first game of Set 4 by trying to be cheeky at the net...that point was on his racquet...momentum was with Alcaraz...having said that ... Congratulations to Zverev...
Zverev always beat Alcaraz....so he would defeat him in any case
Zverev finally beat someone top notch in a grand slam congrats
Big mouth is out of the AO!!!!
Zverev, for a tall guy he moves extremely well on any surface.
How awesome would the final be if Zvere and Sinner were the one's who play it? Two brand new finalist for a Major 😊🎾💪
Technically no zverev was in a final already
@@lukeamendolara5818 but hasn't won a major yet
Sacha this will be your year. Keep doing what you’re doing.
He is no Federer who will cruise through the draw without breaking a sweat and with no requirement of battle hardening. Unlucky for him, that his draw turned out to be easy(or he make it look like that with his top notch play). But he needs at least one very long drawn tough fight match prior to reaching the later rounds.
He's 20 man. I love Fed - but when he was 20 he wasnt sniffing majors. Give him time to figure his game out.
Better then fed
Glad to see that fist pumping vamos boi getting schooled😂
Zverev was called to be a champion from the beginning of his career. It's not surprising if he wins this.
He still has to earn it. We will see what he is made of in the next two rounds.
Happy for Zverev
He deserves a Slam
So proud of Sascha! Absolutely blazed through Carlito 👍
