He’s the next level. Not only because of his age and vast talent, but dangerously because, he’s an incredibly, insanely insatiable learner. Watch out. This is the new fantastic standard.
Yeah, the neuro plasticity factor
Yeah, the neuro plasticity factor
He's like the hybrid of the big 3, it's really true. He has the creativity and aggressive play of Federer, always going for the net whenever he can, has the power and mindset of Nadal and the defensive return play of Djokovic. He's the complete player at barely 20 years of age.
Something that really impresses me about Alcaraz, is his ability to successfully pass the opponent at the net. His passing shots are sublime. The angles he produces are spectacular, and even the lobs are highly effective.

I think the kry is the drop shot.
And the drop shot then lob.
It tires the opponent so when they run to net they are more tired.
@@mireafelder8194he has some sampras as well
Alcatraz confidence is his biggest weapon.His mental and physical strength for a 20year old is simply amazing especially playing against an over experienced opponent.keep going young man.👋👋👌🏻🏆🏆
ALCARAZ
Carlos has such a "Winsome Smile" even when he plays a "Bad Shot" He is So HUMBLE with such a wonderful demeanor on the Court.He is Very Speedy, Athletic & is such a Complete Player with every "SHOT" in the Book. DROP SHOT SPECIALIST, No One Does it better than him, even Djokovic couldn't get to some of them, took him by Surprise. His Post Match Interviews show so much MATURITY for one so young, and he is So Relaxed and Confident, is a Quick Learner with Mental Fortitude. His Coach Juan Carlos has to be Commended, for keeping him So Focused. Hopefully he will remain the same way, as he progresses and continues to Win and Not allow the MEDIA hype to get to him and "Change" him from just Being "Sweet Admirable Carlos with that Engaging Smile and Humble Spirit" We need more like him in the Sporting World.!!
Great analysis. This final was one of the best sporting events I've seen in a long time. Immense achievement for this young man to come out victorious with all the pressure heaped on him, on that court, against that opponent, being one set down. Just awesome.
This puts lots of pressure on this young man
Love listening to luke
New sherriff ?? King Novak is 36 years for Gods sake. Humans age and get weaker with years. Its amazing Novak is still playing at this level.
And carlos is just 20 years and still inexperience
Yeah. The same 37 as in AO and FO.
Great video, but insisting on including Murray in the Big 3 (pretending there is a Big 4) is a disservice to the history of this wonderful sport.
He is gonna be a ruthless, take no prisoners champion.
Luke is great
The smiling assassin 😊
Wonderful conversation! Thanks!
Brilliant interview I play tennis and joe ask all the right questions and understood the reply’s from Luke really impressed considering your usually talking about football real kudos to joe so so impressive
And you can hardly wait. I watched your shows when Djokovic was winning. Nothing has been more difficult in your life than that. Such antipathy and amozotet towards him is unbelievable.
They hate that he surpassed Roger and Rafa as the greatest
yes - Novak spoiled the Nadal Federer party
OTB presenters are such uppity little arseholes. Do any of them play sport? I really enjoyed them crying about sky interviewing fans instead of journos. 'Fans are stupid'.
Novak sent Fedal packing and that doesn't sit right with a bunch of haters!
After Roger was forced to retire i prepared for the Rafa and Novak baseline marathon matches to put me down 😢...Carlos is a very exceptional new kind of player. He has all the tools plus his mental game is stellar. His extreme athleticism is absurdly difficult to match and his ability to learn is beyond anything i have seen before. Carlos doesn't just volley well, he is technically so sound and deliberate up there. His game is both power and finesse, his speed and body control is unheard of. I am very curious to see how Novak tries to adjust in future matches. He (Novak) tried everything but Carlos was up to the task at hand. This is a very exciting time for the men's game and for us.
Down goes Novak?? with 2 GS in 2023 and Final in Wimbledon? Come on! totally unsportsmanlike headline!
What he means is he’s never faced this challenge before so was just not that ready for it , he is now BUT he knows time is not on his side each month older as A is stronger .
Novak looks strong still so be great to see how it turns out next few slams .
Nadal didn’t travel well see if Alcatraz likewise .
The changing of the guard
His glory days are over 🤔 like they ended Sunday? Is he not having a glorious 2023? 2 out of 3 GSs, love CA & NJ is annoying at times but come on LJ it’s not over because someone from a younger generation finally stepped up. These are his Glory Days!
The king has returned in NY
Yep, Carlos is going to be ruthless. What is Nole going to do is up on the air.
Gill Gross on youtube has terrific insights for any tennis fans
Agreed! One of the best channels out there
Can't emphasize enough how good Gil's channel is. It is in-depth and detail oriented analysis, but it keeps even a new and still-learning fan like me engaged because his communication skills are so good.
the 🐐broke Crampitos' confidence is Cincinnati he hasn't been the same
He’s phenomenal. But how good would he be if he played in the same time as prime Fed, Novak, Rafa and Murray? That’s what I wanna know.
I do believe he's better than the Big 3 were when they were at age 20
You CANNOT know that BUT you can watch the others play at the same age... Alcarez is better than they were are the same age.. Watch the videos.
Nadal never had the greatest serve, his whole career for example...
The best I have seen.
He had the more critical points, it is not the nimber but he put the good points.
Absılutely true comments
They remain to be seen, yet!
From the big three to the big one. Will we get grand slam hattricks now?
Roger was big one until Rafa and Nole turned up, history will repeat
It is too soon to be excited him to take over the big 4 because I think there will be more to play against him like Sinner Eubank
4? NADAL, FEDERER, DJOKOVIC BUT WHO IS 4 IN THEIR ERA, DOES NUMBER 4 HAVE 20 ODD GRAND SLAMS?
He has weapons and he plays them at the right moments, he is very smart on court, very focused, fast. He really stunned Novak. Novak is older and has lost a step or 2 it makes a difference.
He hasn't lost any steps, stop the lies, he got beat fair and square in a close match.
@@ghsense2626he definitely looked a bit more his age. Smacking his leg and falling all over the place.
That lost step didn't seem to affect him against all the other players he defeated on the way to the final...?
Only when he ran into Alcarez was he stopped. Alcarez just played better...
What is fascinating is, does Djokovic have any improvements to add?
I think Alcarez can improve but I wonder if Djokovic may be as good as he is ever going to get.. The next few meetings will tell the tale....
@@AndyCampbellMusic They're making excuses, he's won 2 majors this year but according to them hes lost a step. Was one set away from Wimbledon too but according to them he's lost a step baha
@@AndyCampbellMusicNovak really didn’t play that well in the final. Not as bad as he did against med in the 2021 US Open final but he can definitely play much better even at his current age. Alcarez is obviously the next big thing but i wouldn’t say Novak is done.
The victory was a true validation for Alcaraz. Monstrous talent, loves the game, seemingly uncomplicated in a good way. If his body holds up then at least 10 slams.
But the way that OTB want to throw Djokovic on the scrap heap is shameful. He will fight tooth and nail over the next 18 months or so. Some more titanic encounters to follow. Djokovic probably gets one or two more slams.
It was a pleasure watching them compete at Wimbledon and Roland Garros until cramps compromised Alcaraz.
At least 10 GS? You're aware Djokovic cramped at lot at the same age of Carlos, and only won his second GS at 24? We will see what happens.
@@mireafelder8194 Of course we have to wait and see. Nothing is guaranteed. But his talent is that level. Yes, 10 grand slams.
@@jamescook4116 You have a crystal ball? Federer only won his first GS at 21, Djokovic only won his second at 24. Alcaraz at barely 20 has already 2 Grand Slams, I bet Alcaraz if injury free, will have 20 GS when he reaches 30 years of age.
Juan Carlos Ferrero is not a french player, if also is a spanish player
Lets give a no1 player Ferrero his dues as well.
He is true coach.
Royalty and celebrities came out to see Novak and for the ocassion- not for Alcaraz! Alcaraz needs to be fit and injury free if he is to win several more grand slams. a bit presumptuous to say that he will be winning everything for the next 10-15 years. Im shocked at some of the "expert" analysis out there. Tennis is very competitive and the margins are very very small.
Carlos serve isn't slow...he is averaging 120 serve speed...get your facts right
Andy Murray has 3 grand slams and 11-25 record vs Nole, 7-17 vs Rafa and 11-14 vs Roger. How's he still getting included in big 4?
Anti Western bigotry and hate. Why can't Djokovic fans just accept that Djokovic played a fantastic match, hence the 6-1 first set. Alcarez just played better hence the 6-1 third set. Fantastic entertainment for those who watched this brilliant match...
Because Andy earned those games against big three, even if he was losing them. You don't get so many matches against big 3 by accident. Need to better understand the stats.
@@AndyCampbellMusic First of all I’m a Roger fan and I love Andy but he’s body of work is not enough to be at level of big three. I believe that he would have won more if he hasn’t been injured so much, but it it is what it is
Strange for me watching this final.
Big Nadal fan and wanted Federer to hang on to his record of 8 Wimbledons. HOWEVER I am still a fan of the big three of my generation, so I was kind of sad that Djokovic lost. Alcaraz did great though and he could dominate for years and years as I can't see anyone improving fast enough.
Lol Fed is the king of grass at 8 titles
it sounds like Carlos wiped the floor with Djokovic. the truth is both won 23 games; carlos won 168 points and Novak 166 points. it could have gone both ways.
True but Alcaraz still edged him out and at 20 he isn't close to his peak ability.
Your tears are sweet😂
@@bronson1392 Your bias is bitter 😄
For the first time I saw fear in Novak’s eyes… He has met the future head on, and Carlos doesn’t fear him in the least. Novak choked the 2nd set tiebreaker and that told the tale… The “Novak in 5” rule may need to be reconsidered…
Too early to say so
Carlos only played @ 50%
The best ever 🐐❤️
He the only player I know who makes half of his points off of dropped shots! Bet he would swell at ping pong!
He'll at least match borgs 11
Calm down please.If he's the best of all those 3 in one then anything less than 35 grandslams from him will be a massive disappointment.
oh yeah there you guy that’s some great solid logic
Must be another bitter Novak fan….
It dont mean that at all you dope
Only guy to beat a healthy, top level Novak in a slam final other than Fed, Rafa, Murray, or Wawrinka.
No..."He has two GS so he must be the greatest."(because they don't like Novak)
Alcaraz is going to end up with a lot of injuries because of the all running he does in every match. Example see Nadal.
Don’t forget Nadal was born with Mueller-Weiss syndrome which almost forced him to abandon tennis, not the case for Alcaraz. I have to say though, the fact that Nadal won 22 slams with a “defective” and pain-inducing foot is insane.
Yeah, we need to remember rafa had a practically debilitating foot condition as well
@@juancarlosalonso5664 on top of that he has 11 Doubles titles(3 Masters 1000), Olympic gold. 5 Davis Cup titles. That’s a lot of work. He is the last guy of this generation that is this accomplished. The rest are singles specialists.
Why Westerners could never accept that Novak Djokovic, as a player who broke many records, is from a small country from the Balkans!? And that good player called Murray is from Scotland, not Britain, which is the cradle of tennis! Djokovic will still bother you how much you hated him...!
Everyone celebrating Novak's first major defeat all year, hoping it's his last 🤣
Last year, didn't u celebrate when nadal pulled out of wimbledon?.. His first loss at a major last year?
@@novjose Why would I celebrate that?
@@notthisprickagain8499because Nadal had 22 GS and Novak had 20
Talking about terminator here, I hope Alcaraz keeps going up, don't get terminated by these praises
What a nonsense video title
Hahaha his not a KING HES NOT A PRINCE YET
Hello King Makers. Sometimes it takes so many losers to denounce an achiever, which Novak is.
Because Andy Murray did it in the era of the prime Nadal, Federer and Djokovic and took world no 1. Look at the titles he won against every other player than those.
@AndyCampbellMusic OK! So Andy is the true GOAT ? Well done British Empire you win?
Complete BS. WAY too early to say he's better than any of The Big Three.
Tell me again, what did Novak lose??? His record is spectacular -- Carlos is not in his orbit.
Time most certainly will reveal.
He lost the match, that's what he lost lmao
@vienle4089 A highly accomplished individual like Novak losing a match should not be significant. Even if he goes on a losing streak, there is still no cause for alarm.
Losing a match DOES NOT ENCOMPASS HIS LIFE.
Now, call the doctor to replace your A$$. LOL!!!
@vienle4089 How is losing a match compares to his loving family, his accomplishments in the sport, and his life, overall.
It is still just a match!!!
Your response will be placed in the "CHARADES" FILE.
I will make the same comment if the position is reversed.
Stop making ado about nothing!!!
No he's not the embodiment of all three. He is overrated and just might end up as a too much too soon story unlike Becker who was in an era of many greats and not just one.
Two at 20! That's not wow. Boris Becker also had two at 20 at twenty. Very lazy journalism.
'Spanish King was there' . Why is that worth even a thing ? Only one King and that King is Novak.
Not so fast, the star who shine so fast, turns off fast to, old Latin saying!
Novak is mental Buffalo *** one in history scale ! 🦚🕊️🦚🕊️
the New sherif in town is Djokovic you fool...
how's he new?
@@michealohaodha9351 haha
@@bbsoni4814it's over for Nole, I can't see him ever beating Alcaraz in a slam, maybe in a best of 3
