Do you think his last injury affects this game?

he def wasn't 100% in the 2nd set. His return of sevice was super aggressive. Making all the points very short in length where clay court typically has longer rallies. He was forcing the action winning or losing the point quickly

He was winning set 3 as well before losing it. He wasn't 100%, but he wasn't fully injured. Combination of playing 2 weeks in a row making the finals and not playing official tennis in 3 months.

I'd be shocked if he played this week, I fully expect him to withdraw

He's making an effort till the end. I think he is still incredible despite his loss.

Sammy, I’ve been saying it all week guys wore him down and it finally showed on Sunday

I was watching video tape of Nadal at the same age. He was miles ahead of Alcaraz on clay.

shap has 3 straight losses, looks horrible

 

[samsncharge99]

tiafoe always disappoints me. Always wanna see him do well, but only makes it randomly at grandslams and under performs in 250s

 

[jjgold]

got smacked around last night and this am

 

[samsncharge99]

how about Joker winning today by 3rd set tiebreaker. 1st match post Aussie Open Win.

I expect easier wins moving forward, but this was a real test

Alcaraz still planning on playing tonight, I'm all over McDonald

 

[jjgold]

I wonder if he pulls out before match?
