I thought about that

But I think Clara or Mirra wins that half

I think this year's courts have the ball bouncing a lil higher which is playing right into Iga's strike zone leading to her forehand being less of an issue. I think she gets through her side of the draw.

Carlos better not play with Rublev... as I type carlos gets broken early at love

Jarry and Norrie in a 5 setter

I expected the roof being closed to help Rublev

Rublev sucks at the net jeez. He easily should have won that last game.

 

[Nero Christ]

All Carlos had to do is bring Rublev to the net cause every volley he's hit has been bad

The sound of the ball coming off Carlito's racquet in this tiebreaker

He totally forgot to do this all TB and let Rublev tee off

Damn Rublev took it

 

[phillycavsfan]

Rublev has every right to be that fired up, he stole that set right from under Carlos.

Dude shuts his brain off way too much and as simple as Rublev's game is, it can be extremely dangerous especially in these conditions (closed indoors with faster conditions)

 

[Mazino]

Key for Rublev to just stick with Alcaraz and not give anything away cheaply as he normally does

Could take this 2nd set and then its panic stations

Carlos has to make this an all court match...Rublev's in a zone from the baseline...need to bring him to the net over and over

Saw he won 4/7 net points

He isn't utilising that enough

The next stage of his development is to better scheme his way thru a match

As usual with Rublev the 2nd serve is a killer for him
