@@renatapawowska535 yes lets compare old guys with a 20 y old. How much had Nole and Fed won at 19/20? Nadal was the one to win a grand slam at 19 just like Carlos
Made no excuses, gave credit to the opponent's level of play, and ready to accept and move on. Hallmark of a champion and that's why he will be at the top for many years to come. Tsitsipas and Zverev will blame their atrocious level, not credit the opponent and lament about the time they were number 2 and almost one match win away number 1.
You mean the way Nadal did when he lost to Tsitsipas in Madrid? What excuses are there to make for Alcaraz? This Marozsan's resume is so bad, this is practically a person coming off the street to beat the so-called #1 ranked player in the world on his best surface.
@@haniotis3421 what excuses are there to make ? maybe that he was NOWHERE NEAR his best tennis ? classic hater , imagine thinking a profesional tennis player is a person coming off the streat to beat the no 1 ..you clowns are so insanely deluded and talk so much out of your asses. Alcaraz IS THE NUMBER 1 PLAYER , whether you like it or not, he plays the most entertaining tennis and everything he won he won on merit by being aggresive and creative. He s still very young and his level can oscilate alot, today he just couldn t pull it back since morozan was hitting winners left and right.

Carlos Alcaraz..a breath of fresh air on the tour...so forthright and humble. We're watching a superstar rise to the zenith of the tennis universe..God bless you Carlos...can't wait to see you play in person!
One can see the disappointment in Carlos's eyes, but congratulations Fabián. As always Carlos is humble and thoughtful. Personally i feel this loss will keep him honest for RG. ❤ Pa'lante Carlito😊
From Canada Carlos I love you regardless of today's loss. You are so professional by showing such respect for your opponent. You never get angry and throw tantrums. Can't wait to see you I. RG. Love you always. Love you always.
Today he learned 2 important lessons : first, never to underestimate the opponent and second, crowd is not always on your side. I think he will be even more dangerous after this. RG will be very interesting to watch. Both Carlos and Novak reached only to quarterfinal last year, and I'm so eager to see which one will go further. I was hoping we would see them play together on this tournament so we will see if they'll play in the next.
@@Cristobal512 He said that himself.. He was surprised to see how good he played and he didn't expect that.. which is completely natural.. We all thought before the match that this will be an easy win for him.
@@vesnalukic9898 you are spot on. "Surprised me" means that he definitely didn't expect this level of play, but he was unknown so I doubt his team had background information to go on. But that's what champions do. They adjust and today Carlos couldn't match Fabian. Simple as that
I agree, actually I was worried that he was going to make it until the finals, cause that would have left him without a breath before Paris, so I think this loss is not that bad at the end
Lots of respect for Carlos recognizing his opponent out played him and he was physically “perfect“. He got out played in tactic and he was uncomfortable. Again, he’s beatable but everyone plays like robots and are baseline rally players. His opponent showed him a mix of skills and played the offensive like a Federer and beat Alcaraz. Everyone else plays defensive and just tries to pass him and that clearly doesn’t work with an offensive player.
I don't think all other players play like robots exactly, but that was definitely a good display of different skills and everything, including the court conditions, came together in such a way that it benefited his opponent. There's no way he would be able to pull this off in Madrid, let's say, or even here on a hot, dry day, he just wouldn't have enough time and would probably play more like a "robot".
Great interview, humble in defeat, no BS excuses, admits he got outplayed and gives props to the opponent. He has a great mindset, attitude, full of respect for everyone. Obviously he is an amazing player as well. It is really hard not to like this guy. Greetings and support from Croatia (unless you play Borna of course ).
He was honest in his assessment of this match. Fabian surprised him & Fabian played at that high level until the end of the match. Usually means the person will win under these two circumstances against most players; no matter the ranking of either player. Bravo Fabian. Good interview Carlos.
You a good sport Carlos,but you didn't expect him to outplay you..he was playing a lot like you,,eg..he kept you at the back and those dropshots..well done to yr opponent.
I didn't want him to win or go deep in Rome anyway, to be completely real. Also I dont' think im the only one who expected him to lose before the semis. Personally thought stef would finally beat him here, so it came a bit sooner. Imagine psychologically how he would feel if he lost to Djoko in the final or Sinner and went into RG like that. Lots of positives he could take from this loss. He played a lot of tennis, and I'm positive he and his team will put in the work to do well in RG. Also, love how he carries himself in defeat.
Carlos Alcaraz is still the favorite heading into French Open. The guy wins Barcelona and Madrid. He needed some well deserved rest. At barely 20 years, Carlitos has shown grace in defeat and acknowledged his opponents skills. Aryna was defeated early as well having been victorious in Madrid. Playing on clay courts is exhausting and brutal to your body especially with sliding. For Rafa to win 14 French open titles in addition to many clay court titles is extraordinary considering the most severe pounding your body has to endure to recover.
I still have Djokovic above, due to his many years of experience and success. Alcaraz is close though in my opinion and definitely has chances. But also who knows if Nadal will come in and go God mode lol
I think everyone has Djokovic above Carlitos just based on experience alone. And that makes sense. But clay is where Djokovic is most vulnerable. Well just have to wait and see. Looking forward to RG!
Alcaraz can't be the favorite because he has never won RG and we clearly see he is not in the best form. He lost to a player with a resume so atrocious--a player who hasn't beaten a top 100 player, a player who has lost in the 1st round of challenger tournaments recently and even on clay. And this is supposed to be Alcaraz's best surface, the successor to Rafael Nadal.
@@haniotis3421 well that’s like saying Djokovic’s loss to Vesely means he couldn’t have been the favorite in a hard court Slam. I think there’s more nuance than that. I do currently have Djokovic a bit above though still
I don't like his grunting or the media hype, but he seems like a good hearted guy and respectful in his interviews, honest also. The media hype is not his fault. Honestly if he'd stop grunting I could really get behind him.
Now thats a huge loss to him and his team as you couldn’t get behind him .. 😂😂😂 poor carlos he couldn’t help it 😢😢😢😢 may be he can try in his next life to have you behind him
@@Straightforward786 Carlitos is my co-favorite player, yet I agree with the commenter that less loud grunting is better. But you were nonetheless ready ready with a needlessly silly response. (eg Sabalenka powers the ball awesomely, but listening to her is too much...)
The grunt is not like the women's shriek. It's guttoral. Maybe could lower the volume, but it's not a deal breaker as it is ok. Sabalenska and the shriekers before her whom she learned from are just unwatchable.
@@tomsd8656 Sabalenka is the worst of them all, for sure. I don't watch her matches anymore, even when she's playing my fav Iga. Hey Rohit Kumar Reddy Reddy, you might want to call her team up as well, let her know she's lost my precious attention!! 😄😏
I don’t find his grunting to be a problem tbh, it can help with focus and energy. Of course some people take it too far and scream unbearably but I don’t think Carlitos is one of them
@@niksmoret2744 , another djokovic fan. If it was djokovic who was beaten, he would say “ my (ego) eibow is hurting”. If it was djokovic he, he’d called the physio every break. If it was djokovic, he would fake an injury to disrupt the rythm of his opponent.
Remember when Jiri Vesely beat Nole. I heard every excuse from his fans. He’s rusty. Blah blah blah. Alcaraz loses and they’re so happy to put him down. Y’all are an awful bunch. You’re not even worthy of watching the sport. So awful.
The fact the everyone is shocked shows you in what high regard he is being held as a player already. Marozsan hasn't won anything at 23. My guess is, Carlos brings the best out of players just like Joker, nadal or Fed do. And if you have an off day - you will lose. Consistency is the key and one win doesn't make Marozsan a new star now. Lets see what happens....
Carlos is very clear and honest, the other guy played better and stronger,...........press questions started been STUPID!!!!!! Great work Carlos! Very humble guy!
Actually very rare and surprisng to see him lose such is the class of this young man........but it can happen and is bound to happen to even the greatest of tennis players so that does not make him any lesser
Rafa had much better success at his age. Heck, Monica Seles had already won 8 Slams before turning 20. So overhyped Carlitos will now eat some humble pie and go home smoked by a qualifier ranked 135th 🤣🤣🤣
@@Tennis_Expert You’re comparing Carlos to Rafa. A literal GOAT and the King of Clay with 22 GS’s and to Monica Seles a woman? At least let Carlos get to 25 before writing him off. He loses one match and y’all think he’s done and dusted. Like as if!
I'm sure many didn't expect him to go deep as he has played a lot of tennis but this was a surprise. Regardless he might have liked more match play in rome, if not getting the title or final. But having said that , Rafa lost in 3rd round in Rome last year too so this result should not matter and he should just focus on the French and which I think is his main aim as well
Esto es muy duro, ya lo empiezas a ver, hay muchos guerreros, un 135 que parece un número 1, por eso también tiene mérito lo que has hecho hasta hoy, no es fácil, el tenis es así.
Honestly, I think Alcaraz planned to leave the Rome tournament soon. His priority is to be fresh and competitive in Paris. In France, I believe he will reach at least the semifinals...
Obviously he didn't need to push everything on this tournament because he has been playing so much lately. However, it isn't the reason which Carlos lost yesterday. His opponent played much better showing an unpredictable tennis style. He even said he only had checked the results of his opponent and that's all
@@davidblazquez1376 What I found "strange" is that in general Alcaraz is able to catch almost every ball. However, he did not do it much in this match. Perhaps he could be tired or he wants to avoid injuries before the Roland Garros. Presumably, he has also underestimated his opponent, who played really well.
You people. Trying to find some reason for the loss. Accept it like your hero Alcaraz(I give him credit for his good attitude after his loss). Alcaraz lost to a player who has a resume similar to yours and everyone else's on youtube. That's how bad of a loss this was. Rest or no rest, Alcaraz should have beaten this guy 6-0 6-0
Even Nadal usually says "I was tired, coming back from injury is not easy, I was not at my highest level, etc," searching excuses like most players. Alcaraz is really great in everything and has no problem to admit that he was simply outplayed. It happens to the best to play average or to face an opponent who is "in the zone". Now he can rest and prepare for the French 💪
Media overhyped him so now he's gonna get some. Losing to a qualifier ranked 135th. Time to eat some humble pie Carlitos and go home to rethink your life.
Reporters always try to bait the players into making excuses for their loses, some physical injury or otherwise. Kudos to Carlos for not taking the bait and giving credit to Marozsan for outplaying him. Some players due to pride or over-inflated ego, not to mention names, would claim they were the better player in a loss such as this.
Not bad 30/3 Seasons record. It was clear Alcaraz was tired. He only needed to win one match as this years Rome, no Points to defend. Alcaraz is such a good sport no excuse just i got beat today
Looks like the game tennis has reached a level that it has been completely explored all new dimension of the game has been exposed. The skill and the level of play has reached the top with some players.
It can happen of course, the interesting part will be if other players now see this match and try to copy Maroszans approach in RG and if so how Alcaraz responds. Cause if he wants to be among the greats he needs to prove that in RG. He certainly looked human today. Roland Garros just got very much more exciting.
This guy’s favourite shot is drop shot. It takes years to master a particular shot, especially drop shot. Maroszan is 23 y.o. and I believe he has novtitle yet. It means he’s been losing too many matches and therefore his body is well rested. At times players are like possessed in a particular match and then lose badly the next round. Consistency is key. We’ll see his next match. If he’ll play the same he will be the next RG champion.
Am I the only one thinking that the number of participants in Masters and GS must be increased at least doubling it and as well as doubling the qualifying participants to bring out more raw talents and offer us more surprises? .This will surely make tennis more accessible to lower ranked players and often will shake the settled players.
Well spoken Alcaraz gracious in defeat but that Fabian guy just might have shown other players a much more effective way to play the invincible Alcaraz. What a level and high degree of effectiveness Fabian's strategy was.
Creo que el cansancio mental pasa factura.yo ante la incógnita de Rafael nadal,eres el máximo favorito. Creo que el nivel técnico y mental adquirido es teniendo en cuenta lo difícil que es,suficiente para aspirar s Roland garros
Alcaraz seems to thrive on slower clay and hard surfaces where he can out power his opponents and use his drop shots very effectively. He still struggles on faster surfaces: faster hard, grass and indoors. Rome is also faster clay usually. His 2023 season is almost identical to his 2022 season: brilliant from February until Madrid masters. Last year he kind of disappeared after Madrid until US Open and after US Open. (he only got injured later) Will be interesting to se if this sis a pattern.
Kept banging on about how he should be number one and how he wanted to take the spot from djokovic when in fact he only ever made it to number because of extenuating circumstances and then this happened… comedic gold really. Hope he keeps on giving. Or maybe, this will bring him a new sense of humility. 😂😂
Por eso lo incomprensible de Nadal, como ha sido capaz de ganar tantos Roland Garros, con la cantidad de jugadores que ahí, que en un día bueno te mojan la oreja.
The Real Deal is the 5 setters, who can last the longest over 6 or7 rounds playing best of 5, right now Alcaraz will be among the top 3 in the world to go the distance,
Toda su expresión y su forma de comunicarse no muestra, en absoluto, ni un ápice ni sorpresa, ni malestar, ni que le importe nada haber 'perdido' este partido. Está perfectamente tranquilo, sosegado...yo diría, hasta 'feliz' o aliviado... No hay rastro en su rostro de alguien que haya perdido un partido.. Para mí, estaba decidido de antemano, por su equipo y él, tratar de 'no ganar' el partido, irse a casa a descansar.
He needed to adjust his return position. He stood too far back. His coach needs to tell him that if things are not going well adjust the return position. He could have beaten the guy but also he shouldn’t be complacent like in Rocky 2. Can’t let the fame and adulations get to his head. I saw how when he arrived in Rome all the fans were adoring him and he really enjoyed it. Got to stay focus on the job at hand.
This is not the first match that his drop shot was challenged, but it matters not , he will learn how to get around that sooner than not , and hopefully be well rested for RG ! ❤it’s best to learn his lessons now and not when he is in the grand slams , He will be ok he is resilient as hell so this is but a mere lesson learned ❤❤❤
A loss like this a great opportunity to learn for the young gifted player: life is full of surprises, so be ready for a time when you are not ready kind of thing! Great win from the other young man too, it was his big day!
Hello Carlos. You need to go back to the drawing board and learn from this defeat. These things happen. You need a better game plan to go toe to toe with Champs like Novak..!!! Good luck at French Open....!!! You can do it..Vamos...!!!

Carlos, all the best to R.G.❣️
Awesome response.
He's got really good at giving interviews already.
The most down to earth. He is a real champion.
I don't like his grunting or the media hype, but he seems like a good hearted guy and respectful in his interviews, honest also. The media hype is not his fault. Honestly if he'd stop grunting I could really get behind him.
Now thats a huge loss to him and his team as you couldn’t get behind him .. 😂😂😂 poor carlos he couldn’t help it 😢😢😢😢 may be he can try in his next life to have you behind him
@@Straightforward786 Carlitos is my co-favorite player, yet I agree with the commenter that less loud grunting is better. But you were nonetheless ready ready with a needlessly silly response.
(eg Sabalenka powers the ball awesomely, but listening to her is too much...)
The grunt is not like the women's shriek. It's guttoral. Maybe could lower the volume, but it's not a deal breaker as it is ok. Sabalenska and the shriekers before her whom she learned from are just unwatchable.
@@tomsd8656 Sabalenka is the worst of them all, for sure. I don't watch her matches anymore, even when she's playing my fav Iga. Hey Rohit Kumar Reddy Reddy, you might want to call her team up as well, let her know she's lost my precious attention!! 😄😏
I don’t find his grunting to be a problem tbh, it can help with focus and energy. Of course some people take it too far and scream unbearably but I don’t think Carlitos is one of them
His humility is unbelievable.
Yea,he were humiliated,you got it🤡🤣
@@niksmoret2744 , another djokovic fan. If it was djokovic who was beaten, he would say “ my (ego) eibow is hurting”. If it was djokovic he, he’d called the physio every break. If it was djokovic, he would fake an injury to disrupt the rythm of his opponent.
@@brandonfrancis8696 why don't you😭 harder🤡🤔😆
@@niksmoret2744 bros a menace 💀
Remember when Jiri Vesely beat Nole. I heard every excuse from his fans. He’s rusty. Blah blah blah. Alcaraz loses and they’re so happy to put him down. Y’all are an awful bunch. You’re not even worthy of watching the sport. So awful.
The fact the everyone is shocked shows you in what high regard he is being held as a player already. Marozsan hasn't won anything at 23. My guess is, Carlos brings the best out of players just like Joker, nadal or Fed do. And if you have an off day - you will lose. Consistency is the key and one win doesn't make Marozsan a new star now. Lets see what happens....
Fabian is 115 in the live rankings. If he wins his next match he debuts in the top 100 🙃
@@mrnowak2835He was beaten by Coric. Once again it shows it’s very difficult to back up a big win with another win.
Carlos is very clear and honest, the other guy played better and stronger,...........press questions started been STUPID!!!!!! Great work Carlos! Very humble guy!
Actually very rare and surprisng to see him lose such is the class of this young man........but it can happen and is bound to happen to even the greatest of tennis players so that does not make him any lesser
ALCARAZ IS STILL YOUNG !!! LOOSE IS ONE OF THE LESSONS TO BE EACH TIME BETTER !!!
Rafa had much better success at his age. Heck, Monica Seles had already won 8 Slams before turning 20. So overhyped Carlitos will now eat some humble pie and go home smoked by a qualifier ranked 135th 🤣🤣🤣
@@Tennis_Expert You’re comparing Carlos to Rafa. A literal GOAT and the King of Clay with 22 GS’s and to Monica Seles a woman? At least let Carlos get to 25 before writing him off. He loses one match and y’all think he’s done and dusted. Like as if!
This guy has the maturity of a 35 year old, legend
I'm sure many didn't expect him to go deep as he has played a lot of tennis but this was a surprise. Regardless he might have liked more match play in rome, if not getting the title or final. But having said that , Rafa lost in 3rd round in Rome last year too so this result should not matter and he should just focus on the French and which I think is his main aim as well
Class act
Jesteś Najlepszy Carlos,nie przejmuj się!
Jeszcze obronisz wiele tytułów!❤
no wlasnie dzis pokazał XDDDDDD DJokovic jest najlepszy bez dwóch zdań.
La grande grande class
Spoke so well. He'll come out of this unscathed
Esto es muy duro, ya lo empiezas a ver, hay muchos guerreros, un 135 que parece un número 1, por eso también tiene mérito lo que has hecho hasta hoy, no es fácil, el tenis es así.
Classy guy
Carlos with these words demonstrate he is a true champion, i think with Rune and Sinner will become the next BIG THREE
Classs act
Honestly, I think Alcaraz planned to leave the Rome tournament soon. His priority is to be fresh and competitive in Paris. In France, I believe he will reach at least the semifinals...
LOL you keep believing that 😅
Diego you 🤡🤡🤡
Obviously he didn't need to push everything on this tournament because he has been playing so much lately. However, it isn't the reason which Carlos lost yesterday. His opponent played much better showing an unpredictable tennis style. He even said he only had checked the results of his opponent and that's all
@@davidblazquez1376 What I found "strange" is that in general Alcaraz is able to catch almost every ball. However, he did not do it much in this match. Perhaps he could be tired or he wants to avoid injuries before the Roland Garros. Presumably, he has also underestimated his opponent, who played really well.
You people. Trying to find some reason for the loss. Accept it like your hero Alcaraz(I give him credit for his good attitude after his loss). Alcaraz lost to a player who has a resume similar to yours and everyone else's on youtube. That's how bad of a loss this was. Rest or no rest, Alcaraz should have beaten this guy 6-0 6-0
Even Nadal usually says "I was tired, coming back from injury is not easy, I was not at my highest level, etc," searching excuses like most players.
Alcaraz is really great in everything and has no problem to admit that he was simply outplayed. It happens to the best to play average or to face an opponent who is "in the zone".
Now he can rest and prepare for the French 💪
Even Nadal? Nadal is the master of excuses and faux humbleness. Never in a million years would Nadal give an interview like this.
@@tomsd8656 Plus, after more than 20 years in the circuit Alcaraz English is more fluent than Nadal's.
He is a human being u can't win all the time ffs. Give the guy a break
Ffs,what's that🤡 but but Caaarliitooos😭
I don’t think Carlitos cares to be honest. He went he did his job and secured the number one ranking. Now he can rest for RG.
Media overhyped him so now he's gonna get some. Losing to a qualifier ranked 135th. Time to eat some humble pie Carlitos and go home to rethink your life.
@@Tennis_Expert Rethink your life! Get it together. The kid is 20!
@@sandranastia THE GOAT gonna secure no1.when atp crim's restore 2000 stolen points.
Reporters always try to bait the players into making excuses for their loses, some physical injury or otherwise. Kudos to Carlos for not taking the bait and giving credit to Marozsan for outplaying him. Some players due to pride or over-inflated ego, not to mention names, would claim they were the better player in a loss such as this.
Carlos tasted his own medicine in that Match. That was a clever play
Not bad 30/3 Seasons record. It was clear Alcaraz was tired. He only needed to win one match as this years Rome, no Points to defend. Alcaraz is such a good sport no excuse just i got beat today
No excuses, Carlitos has the perfect mindset
Looks like the game tennis has reached a level that it has been completely explored all new dimension of the game has been exposed. The skill and the level of play has reached the top with some players.
It can happen of course, the interesting part will be if other players now see this match and try to copy Maroszans approach in RG and if so how Alcaraz responds. Cause if he wants to be among the greats he needs to prove that in RG. He certainly looked human today. Roland Garros just got very much more exciting.
This guy’s favourite shot is drop shot. It takes years to master a particular shot, especially drop shot. Maroszan is 23 y.o. and I believe he has novtitle yet. It means he’s been losing too many matches and therefore his body is well rested. At times players are like possessed in a particular match and then lose badly the next round. Consistency is key. We’ll see his next match. If he’ll play the same he will be the next RG champion.
Se a visto claramente, a jugado tu estilo de juego y no as podido contrarrestarle, a tomar lección de este partido 👍
Am I the only one thinking that the number of participants in Masters and GS must be increased at least doubling it and as well as doubling the qualifying participants to bring out more raw talents and offer us more surprises? .This will surely make tennis more accessible to lower ranked players and often will shake the settled players.
Well spoken Alcaraz gracious in defeat but that Fabian guy just might have shown other players a much more effective way to play the invincible Alcaraz. What a level and high degree of effectiveness Fabian's strategy was.
Creo que el cansancio mental pasa factura.yo ante la incógnita de Rafael nadal,eres el máximo favorito. Creo que el nivel técnico y mental adquirido es teniendo en cuenta lo difícil que es,suficiente para aspirar s Roland garros
Carlitos ❤
Fmee,his winglish is soooo fluid😳,amazed!
He speaks better English better than today's Nadal .
@@salverde100 🤙
That's the key. His opponent kept the high level throughout
Alcaraz seems to thrive on slower clay and hard surfaces where he can out power his opponents and use his drop shots very effectively.
He still struggles on faster surfaces: faster hard, grass and indoors. Rome is also faster clay usually.
His 2023 season is almost identical to his 2022 season: brilliant from February until Madrid masters. Last year he kind of disappeared after Madrid until US Open and after US Open. (he only got injured later) Will be interesting to se if this sis a pattern.
How is Rome a fast surface?
I couldn’t get a word
Kept banging on about how he should be number one and how he wanted to take the spot from djokovic when in fact he only ever made it to number because of extenuating circumstances and then this happened… comedic gold really. Hope he keeps on giving. Or maybe, this will bring him a new sense of humility. 😂😂
Por eso lo incomprensible de Nadal, como ha sido capaz de ganar tantos Roland Garros, con la cantidad de jugadores que ahí, que en un día bueno te mojan la oreja.
The Real Deal is the 5 setters, who can last the longest over 6 or7 rounds playing best of 5, right now Alcaraz will be among the top 3 in the world to go the distance,
rest up and work on your serve... come RG kick some butt! forget about this match and relax.
Toda su expresión y su forma de comunicarse no muestra, en absoluto, ni un ápice ni sorpresa, ni malestar, ni que le importe nada haber 'perdido' este partido. Está perfectamente tranquilo, sosegado...yo diría, hasta 'feliz' o aliviado... No hay rastro en su rostro de alguien que haya perdido un partido..
Para mí, estaba decidido de antemano, por su equipo y él, tratar de 'no ganar' el partido, irse a casa a descansar.
being fresh for Rangeross lol
So basically what alcaraz is saying don't drop your level throughout the match and you are good to go.😅
Play the highest level you can put out there and don't drop at all until the match is over. Easy.
No you played your best Alcatraz but Fabian played unbelievable that made him win.
Top 100? The kid will break into top 20-30 very soon if he continues as confidently as yesterday
Bg
He needed to adjust his return position. He stood too far back. His coach needs to tell him that if things are not going well adjust the return position. He could have beaten the guy but also he shouldn’t be complacent like in Rocky 2. Can’t let the fame and adulations get to his head. I saw how when he arrived in Rome all the fans were adoring him and he really enjoyed it. Got to stay focus on the job at hand.
@Transistor Jump of course. This is just my personal opinion if you don't like it tough.
Can you imagine him and Rafa speak english to each other.
This is not the first match that his drop shot was challenged, but it matters not , he will learn how to get around that sooner than not , and hopefully be well rested for RG ! ❤it’s best to learn his lessons now and not when he is in the grand slams , He will be ok he is resilient as hell so this is but a mere lesson learned ❤❤❤
No co ty powiesz?😁🤣
No comprendo Renata !
It was one of those days that the stars didn’t align for him. No big deal. Even the best lose every now and then. Learn from the mistakes and move on
It is only one more match. Carlitos get ready for GR.
A loss like this a great opportunity to learn for the young gifted player: life is full of surprises, so be ready for a time when you are not ready kind of thing! Great win from the other young man too, it was his big day!
Fabian exposed Carlos' weaknesses. Hopefully, others will learn from that.
Or, Carlos will learn from that and think of how to get over those few weaknesses !
Qué te oaso Carlos.
He will look closer to his oponents, as they look close to him.
Il se prépare pour Rolland Garros ❤😅😅😅
Hello Carlos. You need to go back to the drawing board and learn from this defeat. These things happen. You need a better game plan to go toe to toe with Champs like Novak..!!! Good luck at French Open....!!! You can do it..Vamos...!!!
