You have the biggest tennis venue, with the biggest tennis crowd, playing (one of the 3) biggest tennis stars, in prime time and almost no one gives you a chance. To accomplish that win, in that stadium, against that opponent in straight sets is quite possibly the best story of the US Open this year.
@@ВладимирСеребряков-ы2н No one can take away Novak's soul, he was still recovering from the surgery and it was a fantastic success, besides, Novak comes back even stronger after every defeat, which is not the case with Carlos.
This is wild. We got spoiled with the 3 greatest players off all time in the same era going deep in every slam people think it was easy. All it takes is one off day and you're cooked.
Each of them have had their upsets. Roger lost in the 4th round of the US Open in 2013, the 2nd round of Wimbledon the same year, Rafa has had his upsets at Wimbledon, he was even upset in the 4th round of Roland Garros, and Novak was also upset in Australia in the 2nd and 4th round in 2017 and 2018.
Super happy for Botic! He recently opened up about not looking forward to matches. Not to mention the huge run of bad form acts the choke against Rune. Incredible win
Never assume you know how a match will go or who will win. This is tennis. Anything can happen and anyone can win on the day. Botic played such high level tennis. He earned and deserved that win. From the jump, 2024 has been the season of upsets and it has been awesome to watch.
An upset of monumental proportion ❤❤❤❤❤ Lukas Rosol Ending Rafael Nadal A Streak Of 11 Major Quarter-Finals Botic Van De Zandschulp Ending Carlos Alcaraz A Streak Of 7 Major Quarter-finals
And this is why Roger/Rafa/Novak are so special. These things take a huge amount of dedication...GSs. Novak eventually found his footing, and dominated like no other. I imagine that Alcaraz, as successful as he already has been, will have to reach those higher consistency levels to be in that company. My money is on him doing it....too much talent.
This Dutch guy was just insane tonight! He worked for every single point and pinned Carlos under extreme pressure! He was just superb serving and returning plays. Well played.
@@Aydan131 Botic did the same thing Serverev did at AO: rush Alcaraz by stretching him out & keep him moving laterally, so he can't set up for a big strikes.
@@rksleung Alcaraz has never shown consistency in a season , despite winning 2 slams this year he has been worse overall imo than last year . He is young so I do expect him to improve in that aspect but so far he has been a hot and cold player . When he is on he is incredibly hard to beat but when he is not on then he is just losing to almost anybody . That loss to Novak must have hurt his confidence , no doubt about that .
A great life lesson for Alcaraz, he will grow stronger. At any tournament a top 100 player is talented enough to upset the top 20. It's all down to consistency & mental fortitude. Bravo Botic & Gabriel Diallo.
Carlitos has a lot of pressure on him. He should focus on being himself not like anyone else. He has to play insane to win matches consistently. This is where the mental comes in the most. He’s still got a lot of time to figure it out.🎾
Otic played so powerfully and confidently. Upsets often ALMOST happen against the top ten players, but the underdogs usually choke once they see the possibility of a win, or the top 10 player adapts. Otic was all gas no breaks today.
Novak the GOAT is the favourite now...thanks...no tennis player can match Novak....if there was no covid....Novak already had 26/27 GS title in his belt.

No man a multimillionaire had a rolled ankle thats why he lost to the 74 ranked joruneyman that considered retirement 4 months ago 😂. I don't remember what was the excuse after a 37 year old that had a big knee surgery defeated him. It was probably unfair because Novak had injury so Carlos let him easy with those 50 dropshots per set.
Incroyable mais vrai : Djokovic, Monfils et maintenant Van De Zandschulp . c'est pas facile de gérer ces 3 défaite successives.dommage pour Carlitos et félicitation pour le néerlandais
I think we are so used to the consistency of Novak, Rafa and Roger in slams, so now that Carlos and Sinner are being compared to them many are expecting the same level of consistency. We are asking too much of them. They will have off days like this but they will bounce back next tournament.
Alcaraz non ha certo giocato al meglio delle sue possibilità, però Onore e merito a Van De Zandschulp che ha fatto vedere davvero un buon tennis e una grande solidità mentale. Bravo!
Undisputed GOAT Djokovic broke him in the Olympics. Alcaraz was never the same this season. Just like how he was since Cincinnati last year. He just breaks your soul
Oh puleeze. Spare us your reductive, lack of reasoning. Not everything is about Kneevax. Switching surfaces constantly & playing at such a high level to win two Slams and a silver Olympic medal is bound to lead to mental and physical fatigue. Alcaraz didn't play that poorly in the 2nd & 3rd sets, but Botic was fresher, more dialed in, and had less to lose. Alcaraz assumed he'd win, threw away the 1st set, and was in trouble from there.
If anyone is interested to know what Carlos is doing wrong since early 2023, let me tell you this defeat is not a surprise, even in straight sets - Carlos is currently hitting his forehand like Nadal, that sacrifices speed just to gain spin, spin that only works in clay courts but not on most of the courts of modern tennis - As a result, he is more passive from the baseline, the opponents take advantage of that to gain the initiative. In modern agressive tennis, taking the inititative is KEY to dictate points - Carlos normally goes 3 meters behind the baseline to return second serves, basically he is resignating to be in a defensive position without even starting the point - Passiveness, defensive playstyle makes the matches longer, physique does not last forever, if he wants to have longevity, he cannot play that passive For all the next matches from Carlos, put attention at the things I just mentioned and you will see how everything makes sense
Wow. I certainly didn’t expect Carlos to be out this early, in straight sets too. He’s seemed worn out since the Olympics This should hugely increase Djokovic’s chances. To certain commenters saying Carlos is cooked now…you said that after Cincinnati last year and he’s won Indian Wells, RG and Wimbledon. To be clear, I like Djokovic and I’ll be delighted if he wins Slam number 25. But please stop saying this about Carlos, you’re making yourselves look silly. He’s only 21 and has already won 4 Slams. He’ll be back up and running next year.
After looking almost Invincible for the last 2 years, it is now clear that Novak Djokovic took Carlos Soul in that Olympic Final...and he still hasn't got it back... This just shows that Tennis is also a big mental game coz mentally Carlos is still gone after that Olympic Final loss...and his opponents can now smell that he is now human after all.... And this is All Thanks to the 37 Year Old G.O.A.T King Nole👑... But let's give credit to the humble Botic for playing the match of his life so far🙌
Very Surprised by this result ! Likely, due to some lingering self confidence issues especially after repeated losses (Olympics final and dramatic exit in Cinci). But, Let’s not count him out, he’s still just 21. Recollect early GS exits for Rafa (RG) , Roger (Wimbledon) and GOAT - Nole in their early 20’s. Carlitos is a great player and surely, will bounce back.
For sure man, Carlos is a great player. He will bounce back, he is still top 3 player right now. Fans are just delusional and put him on this insane pedestal and then they are surprised when he cannot manage to uphold those ludicrous standards.
It's Alcaraz's shirt -- only Rafa can get away with these sleeveless tops. Pretenders like Shelton, Tiafoe and Alacaraz wear these shirts at their peril!
All the Djokovic fans need to chill out. Yes, Alcaraz looks flat since the Olympics, but the same thing happened to him post-Wimbledon last year, and he still came back to win 2 slams in 2024. He’ll win the Australian Open to complete the career grand slam next year.
You need to chill out we are talking about hardcourts and who Alcaraz won on that only us open 22 Rudd and Sinner Sinner from is not anything like Sinner in now, If and still it took 5 sets to beat that kind of sinner
No it's you Alcaraz fans that need your heads checked. Putting a 21 year old guy on the same level as big three and talking about potential future GOAT nonsense. If you didn't set such foolish standards for him maybe you wouldn't get ridiculed. Alcaraz is a great player and he will be back but he needs a reality check. He already talked about wanting to be the best player of all time after he lost on Olympic games, that shows he is not right mentality wise, there is ambition and then there is lunacy that will burn athletes down.
Don’t worry Carlos. For me you are still the Best Tennis Player. Just stay focus and prepared. Who is this Biotic I don’t care about his winning.He is just nobody. Never heard.Don’t be sad.,

Come on man, rolled ankle for a top payed athlete is not an excuse I'm sorry. I was professional athlete as well and had a lot of trouble with broken ankles. There is a lot of gear that you can get to support your ankle and medicine for rich people is a joke.
After watching the first set you could tell he was off tonight. I'm a huge Alcaraz fan but I never felt he would come back. It just wasn't clicking and quite frankly he got outplayed.
Something happens to him, it's like he felt he was the best and Djokovic took him the Gold and then he feels "one of the bunch", and he plays very off he doesn't think he is the best..
He won't date you darling, no need to defend him so much. The "next goat" just lost to a 74 ranked journeyman that was debating a retirement 4 months ago 😂
In all honesty, it must be said that he has come close to reaching the top 5 on several occasions. Maybe he has unlocked himself now, which is better for tennis fans.
Many people now jumping on Alcaraz i see. I wont. The kid lost, so what. He won 2 slams in a row. Simply a bad day, opponent played a great match. Leave Carlito alone. Even though i support Goldkovic, im not happy about this. But it is what it is. Carlito will be back of course, the kid has a soul, he just needs to surround himself with better people thats all.
That's literally an excuse people say when they want to have a cheap laugh. Rolled ankle at a mid level of professional sports is nothing let alone for a multimillionaire that has a whole team of doctors and coaches around him 24/7. Didn't see djokovic losing to a alcaraz (let alone to a 74th ranked guy) with a knee fresh of a surgery.
@@jovan9989 But he did lose to a guy rank 123 with no injury. Also surgery was in 29 June. Olympics final was Aug 11. Already 43 days. That is not fresh.
Im so sick and tired of noles fan.did he win 4 slams at the age of 21 stop comparing a child to a daddy..experience counts mental or physical..carlos will overcome losses the same as the big 3 hola carlos ❤
We aren't comparing him to Nole, you guys are. How many of you said last year that he is already at the level of the big three, how many of you talked about him becoming a goat. If you stopped being so ludicrous and admitted that you guys are casual fans and cannot really comprehend the weight of big three (it's one of the toughest settings in all of sports history not just tennis) maybe you wouldn't get ridiculed when your boy loses.
@@JCStorm76I'm sure he is upset that you're sick of him. He did have a broken knee but maybe a broken ankle would've been enough for those 50 dropshots by Alcaraz to work at olympic games he definitely wouldn't have lost against a 74th placed joruneyman that's for sure.
I am rofling at some Novak fans claiming he did something to Alcaraz in Paris. Cincy was an incredibly fast court and the USO organisers also increased the court speed this year and reduced the bounce. And these are not the most favourable for Alcaraz.
Anyone willing to bet on Botic winning his 3rd round or 4th round? No, i do not think any would. Yeah, now some say he was calm, confident, sensational, his performance was insane! Come mon! Deep down u people know it was a fluke, Alcaratz was just not his usual self today.

If anyone is interested to know what Carlos is doing wrong since early 2023, let me tell you this defeat is not a surprise, even in straight sets
- Carlos is currently hitting his forehand like Nadal, that sacrifices speed just to gain spin, spin that only works in clay courts but not on most of the courts of modern tennis
- As a result, he is more passive from the baseline, the opponents take advantage of that to gain the initiative. In modern agressive tennis, taking the inititative is KEY to dictate points
- Carlos normally goes 3 meters behind the baseline to return second serves, basically he is resignating to be in a defensive position without even starting the point
- Passiveness, defensive playstyle makes the matches longer, physique does not last forever, if he wants to have longevity, he cannot play that passive
For all the next matches from Carlos, put attention at the things I just mentioned and you will see how everything makes sense

Come on man, rolled ankle for a top payed athlete is not an excuse I'm sorry. I was professional athlete as well and had a lot of trouble with broken ankles. There is a lot of gear that you can get to support your ankle and medicine for rich people is a joke.
Amazing for Botic . Alcaraz is still a top player and will come back in Australia . See Botic reaching the fourth round now .
Alcopop keeps talking how he wants to be the best in the world 😂
After watching the first set you could tell he was off tonight. I'm a huge Alcaraz fan but I never felt he would come back. It just wasn't clicking and quite frankly he got outplayed.
Something happens to him, it's like he felt he was the best and Djokovic took him the Gold and then he feels "one of the bunch", and he plays very off he doesn't think he is the best..
That was a heavy knock out. Lol.
WOW 😮 !!!! Just WOW !!!!!!!
Biotic is nothing. And he is older than Alcaraz. Stop giving negative comment on Carlos Alcaraz. He is younger than that Biotic.
He won't date you darling, no need to defend him so much. The "next goat" just lost to a 74 ranked journeyman that was debating a retirement 4 months ago 😂
Straight sets? Wow. Didn't see that coming.
The price paid for over confidence😮
This means Djokovic only has Sinner and Medvedev to worry about
Diallo Paul will be amazing. Both exciting players.
No breaking of racket? I was suprised! 😅😂
In all honesty, it must be said that he has come close to reaching the top 5 on several occasions. Maybe he has unlocked himself now, which is better for tennis fans.
Many people now jumping on Alcaraz i see. I wont. The kid lost, so what. He won 2 slams in a row. Simply a bad day, opponent played a great match. Leave Carlito alone. Even though i support Goldkovic, im not happy about this. But it is what it is. Carlito will be back of course, the kid has a soul, he just needs to surround himself with better people thats all.
Dopingkovic!
Bravo 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Hope he will come back stronger
“It’s the best day ever”
Enjoying someone's rare failure lol. Get a job dude. He will bounce back and already has won a lot this year.
@@foreverFreak ok say what you believe in
Alcaraz is the real number 4

Waiting to see Sinner vs Djokovic final. It was a one sided AO and gonna be interesting hard court meet again
Love it.
Amazing!
alcaraz rolled his ankle pretty bad a few days ago, he gave it a valiant effort
Always the excuses 🤡
That's literally an excuse people say when they want to have a cheap laugh. Rolled ankle at a mid level of professional sports is nothing let alone for a multimillionaire that has a whole team of doctors and coaches around him 24/7. Didn't see djokovic losing to a alcaraz (let alone to a 74th ranked guy) with a knee fresh of a surgery.
@@jovan9989 But he did lose to a guy rank 123 with no injury. Also surgery was in 29 June. Olympics final was Aug 11. Already 43 days. That is not fresh.
He hasn’t been the same since losing to joker in the Olympics.
Alcatraz wasn’t at his best but you’ve gotta give some credit to the bot. Played phenomenal
Хочу чтобы этот скромный парень выиграл этот турнир
Im so sick and tired of noles fan.did he win 4 slams at the age of 21 stop comparing a child to a daddy..experience counts mental or physical..carlos will overcome losses the same as the big 3 hola carlos ❤
I’m sick and tired of Nole, period!
We aren't comparing him to Nole, you guys are. How many of you said last year that he is already at the level of the big three, how many of you talked about him becoming a goat. If you stopped being so ludicrous and admitted that you guys are casual fans and cannot really comprehend the weight of big three (it's one of the toughest settings in all of sports history not just tennis) maybe you wouldn't get ridiculed when your boy loses.
@@JCStorm76I'm sure he is upset that you're sick of him. He did have a broken knee but maybe a broken ankle would've been enough for those 50 dropshots by Alcaraz to work at olympic games he definitely wouldn't have lost against a 74th placed joruneyman that's for sure.
@@jovan9989 This aged well Lol
@@jovan9989 Djokovic will never win another grand slam
I think Carlos ain't taking that Olympics loss well.
I am rofling at some Novak fans claiming he did something to Alcaraz in Paris. Cincy was an incredibly fast court and the USO organisers also increased the court speed this year and reduced the bounce. And these are not the most favourable for Alcaraz.
Yes?😂it depends on matchup against Medvedev it's favourable for Alcaraz for sure, against Djoko maybe no 50/50 and Alcaraz just didn't play well
Yes he didn't Alcaraz is just not on Sinner & Djokovic level on hardcourts
Wimbledon is a fast low bounce court. Why not here? US is slower than AO surface. Suit Sinners game well
Now he'll have time to tour the US with Raducanu.
We don't know if he is with Raducanu
Botic van de SandSculpture
Anyone willing to bet on Botic winning his 3rd round or 4th round? No, i do not think any would. Yeah, now some say he was calm, confident, sensational, his performance was insane! Come mon! Deep down u people know it was a fluke, Alcaratz was just not his usual self today.
His name is alcatraz because he always gets out of jail , but not on this occasion. 😅😂🤣😁😄😃😀
Consequence of pickleball before the match day 🙊
I made 50 k with boltic lets go
