I'm not worried about Carlos Alcaraz. He's 21 years old and won two majors this year, the French and Wimbledon. What Carlos has achieved is a Herculean feat. He's young, healthy, rich, with a good head on his shoulders, and has his whole career in front of him. The world is his oyster. The story last night wasn't about how Alcararz lost but how Botic van de Zandschulp won. We tennis fans forget about the daily grind, the striving for excellence, and the sacrifices tennis players make, and most will never win a major. The sweat. The tears. The struggles. Often penniless too. Botic van de Zandschulp, #74 in the world and bored with tennis, about to give up and retire. Botic van de Zandschulp is a tennis player the world doesn't care about but he's a complete person, beautiful and full. Whether or not this is his last hoorah or a shot of new found energy is anyone's guess but this was his night. This was his success. Botic van de Zandschulp can hold his head high. His hard work, talent, and sacrifice paid off and this match will undoubtedly be the highlight of his career. Sometimes success isn't measured in wins and trophies and ink spilt on a page. Sometimes success is heart. Congratulations to Botic van de Zandschulp, whose heart had no equal on the night of August 29th 2024. I bow.
@@krakatit7730Alcaraz is not overhyped at all. 4 grand slams, 5 masters, 1 silver medal, and a former World Number #1, all at the age of 21 is absolutely insane even if you look at it objectively.
It’s part of the learning process… He already has an amazing season under his belt and when he’s even more developed in 3-4 years time, it’s gonna be ruthless
@@SuryaSarav_ 💯, and every toxic novak fan who was crowing about his defeat can shut up now. the Olympics in retrospect was too much for the medal winners (surface change from grass to clay and hard in a very short period of time). musetti lost too, though not as much of a surprise. i just hope Alcaraz analyzes conditions in Australia and prepares even more to be ready
Me too ! He is the reason I started watching tennis again. He should not have carried that heavy furniture before his match. Carlos had hard games and won big matches ! My thoughts are that he is overplayed and needs a break.
Djokovic like last year in Cincinnati, took Carlos' soul again. It seems that everytime he is experiencing a loss against Djokovic it has a lasting effect.
Lot of commenters with recency bias. Carlos has kinda be doing this in the last few years. Wins big title - suffers a shock upset / injury / burnout (e.g. Rome 2023, off the top of my head) - takes it easy for a month or two - comes back and wins a smaller tournament in run up to next big one - then dominates next big one. It's happened at least 3 times in this cycle so far in his career. Don't overblow this, he dominated the whole Wimbledon field less than 2 months ago, and every top player has had a shock early round slam exit at least once in their prime. His ceiling is by farrr the highest of anyone else on the tour right now still
And u have an "Alcaraz bias" his ceiling comparable to top players right now 👍maybe only on grass that's the case nowadays but not by far and consistency is far more important though because u can't play from start to finish at ceiling
I think Botic played in Carlos' style and that's what bothered him most. If you're good and someone's a mirror image of you, then it can be difficult to come up with a plan to execute on the spot. Botic had few unforced errors and was going the extra mile to hit the difficult shots that others would have given up on and that can be unnerving.
And was mentally strong .All those double faults,having audience against him,didn't bother him at all.He played his game and Carlos looked lost.He also admitted that he underastimated him before the match,which is never a good thing to do
He’s just overwhelmed with what he wants to achieve. He thinks he’s at the level to pull of record breaking seasons but he’s not at that level yet and as a result he’s putting immense pressure on himself and he’s imploding at the moment

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🙌
He had the same experience in 2023, where he had a slump for 9 months. This is normal for sports people. Even Novak had a slump for TWO YEARS in 2017 where he had even thought of retiring for good.
@@CGSRB I have no problem if Djokovic dominates (or not). tennis is a meritocracy. How many times has Alcaraz proven himself in 5 set wins at slams (USO 2022, Wimbledon 2022,2023, Wimbledon 2024, FO 2024), plus beaten Novak TWICE at Wimbledon. And he is 3 years away from his peak physical level. only a matter of time. improvement is a continuous process. if Djokovic is better fine by me. If Alcaraz is better, also fine by me 👍
To use your illogical and stupidly repeated nonsense, Carlos took a chunk of Novak's soul. Beat him twice at Wimby and the latest in straight sets, a major I remind you, and the olympic win was not a walk in the park by any stretch for Novak. I watched it and it was a battle that could have gone either way.
Carlos needs to realize that it was his first time going into the Olympic AND HE WON SILVER. Yea he had high expectations for himself but this guy needs to be humbled. It’s impressive how he won silver on his first Olympic game
Carlos had a fantastic summer. Two Grand Slams back to back and an Olympic final. He is just burnt out and needs to take a break. He’s only 21 years old and shouldn’t be too hard himself. Just be appreciative of all he has accomplished and Take a break to reflect and recharge. Focus on the ATP finals.
Realistically, Alcaraz is not the caliber of players who were Nadal, Federer and Djikovic. He's not bad, but he doesn't have the competition that the big three had. He needs two or three young players who would be his competition and influence his further development. He deservedly wins titles, but Djikovic is at the end of his career and there are no younger quality players. Secondly, he is young, and everyone already expects the greatest achievements from him in tennis, and they create stress and burden on him, which can have a bad effect on him mentally. He is good, but there will be others better than him, and he should not burden himself with what others expect of him. He should enjoy tennis a little more, not experience it as a job. You never know, maybe he will be the best, I wish him all the best.
You heard it here first folks: Carlos Alcaraz, the player with more slams and more weeks at number one than any of the Big 3 had at 21, is 'not bad' at tennis.
Recency bias is crazy. Would you say the same thing after he beat your boyfriend djokovic for the second year in the row in Wimbledon final? After winning the French, and oh ya defending Indian wells at 21 years old. Oh and he won the US open at 19. None of the big 3 had more majors than him at his age.
Oh ya, realistically, djokovic just isn’t in the same level as these other top players. He can barely make it to the finals. I mean he’s ok, but just simply can’t be put into the conversation as the other top guys. This loss completely exposed him.
Because Carlitos is the legend. There is no way in the whole wide world Botic will ever will get past QF in a slam, let alone come close to winning it. So that is the reason. People analyse the greats, not pedestrians! 😂😅
Carlos lost this match for too much things he won before and there how of us we’re proud and have joy in their hearts… don’t burn out Carlos, and you have time to feel better and come back if you want… love❤for all of us… thank you to you!💕monia
I’ve been watching Carlitos since he was 18 when I saw a new talent. He needs to take a break and do 21 year old stuff for a while, the pressure on his young mind has worn him down, imo. The expectation day in and day out is mentally draining. I hope his parents talk to him. He’ll be back when he’s mind is reset 💪🏼🙏🏻💪🏼
It’s hard for a talented young guy when his early achievements are overshadowed by expectations that it immediately means he’s Federer, Nadal and Djokovic combined. If he ended his career now it would already be an elite career. Just play the game and enjoy being a mega rich young champion
I think people are overblowing his recent losses... I doubt he is losing sleep about losing to Novak in the Olympics Final. It is not like he choked a Grand Slam Final like Guillermo Coria.
He already has slams, the Olympics clearly meant a lot to him, we've seen from Novak just how hard it can be for the best players in the world to get an Olympic gold, Federer never got one in singles and Djokovic only just managed it.
Hes literally a kid, he’s achieved unbelievable titles also loads of other things. Things are always going to eb and flow, its just how it is. He’ll be back
@@Norf.F.C.Zoomer He's friends with Novak and probably deep down is happy that Novak finally achieved his gold while he himself gave the match all he had to prevent that from happening. I just don't buy that winning the silver is hurting Alcaraz inside. He was probably sad for a day and then saw the silver lining in his medal.
The point is he himself said he let down his entire nation.By winning a silver???I think that's still in his head.He should just let it go and mive on..which is hard for him right now.Novak's biggest strenth was to be able to forget what happened before and always focus on the next match.
Come on people. He’s so young, has 4 GS already. Simply got into some difficult fase, that’s all. Has to learn from it, it’s a good thing. Like when Novak had issues with breathing. Everyone has something, especially when you are at this level and expectations are high.
People are very idiotically blowing this loss out of proportion. Saying some foolish things like Novak took his soul after the Olympics and other kinds of nonsense. The young lad is just fatigued and could use some time off away from this retardedly hectic schedule. It's incredibly difficult after winning two consecutive Grand Slam titles to keep this momentum going for another two major competitions within a very short space of time. On top of that, he is still incredibly young which means he's still not completely used to the brutality of the round the year schedule, especially in an Olympic year. He was also under an injury cloud going into this tournament. He will recover from this and be back as strong as ever.
It's not just him that had a long season.Most of them have also.He lost his first match in Cincinnati so he has almost the same time to rest as Djokovic.The fact is,after his big loss,that means to him that much,he alweys nedd a long time to recover and forget Maybe he will learn it in time,maybe not..we will see.The truth is thet there were many players who were that young and had great achivements but who could recover much faster.And there are many players who could never recover.It's all in a character of a person.He should learn to forget faster.That's all.
@@VesnaLukic-h8w, most players did not play the Olympics. Novak only played singles (as he should). Carlitos played both singles and doubles at the Olympics. In addition, Carlitos has achieved more than the Major Three ever did at the same age.
@@yinhoukhor7109 actually Last time Novak played in both singles and doubles and in both reached semi..and in both lost for 3.place ,but after that he won Cincinnati..in 2021...and he reached final in US open.How come he wasn't tired?It is a long season but it's not an excuse for exiting in an early stage .It's mor mental problem then physicsl because we saw that he could run ,but he didn't seem to have a focus.
@@VesnaLukic-h8w, because not everyone is a Novak. If everyone could do what Novak did then there would no longer be anything special about what he has been able to do. There's also such a thing as mental fatigue, not just physical. I would also add that when Novak played singles and doubles, he won zero medals. Carlitos won silver.
Djokovic is doing well so he probably lost on purpose to not tarnish his head-to-head vs Novak. Roger and Rafa both did this to avoid getting spanked by Novak.
He first has to learn how to come back from 2 sets down.and it's all about mental strength.Botic won the mental battle.Even when audience was against him and clapped and cheer after his second double fault,he didn't crumble and seamed he didn't care.
This new generation has great players but they don't have the consistency and mentality of the big 3, it's different to win from time to time to dominate the sport, being at the end of the era of the big 3, if someone comes to dominate you no longer know if it's because he is strong, or the others are weak
Court speed and low bouncing not favorable for him(fast hard courts), we had already seen it in AO,Paris masters,Nitto atp finals,and this year Cincinnati.
Djokovic takes your lakes first and then he owns his soul.😮 Way too many greedy people in his team that make him to play too many tournament. Carlos has to have live aside tennis if he wants to grow.
These young kids are a story of crash & burn, fast up fast down, they hit their walls in life early, just like Emma Raducanu, she struggles to find her magic hand again after her U.S. open win in 2021
The poor boy is too tired, exhausted....one tournament after another!!! Give him a break. The tennis schedule is killing the best players. They're ruining these who have come on full of life, energy and positivity. It's reached a point where they're treated or at least they must feel that they're machines putting up a show for audience entertainment.its becoming not fun anymore. Jumping from one competition without recuperation time in between! Thus their bodies get injured and their psychological/ mental health and stability get damaged too...as in Osaka, Raducano, etc. Give the players sufficient time to rest and recover between tournaments!!!
Perhaps he's just emotionally fragile, hence the emphasis on smiling. Safin was emotionally fragile as well. Or maybe he's just naturally streaky. I'm sure the Paris loss was devastating, but the top dogs deal with that off court.
you are right, alcaraz was destroyed by djokovic in olympic final, look into his face today compared to olympic time, totally lost confidence. After winning 2 slams this year, he is too proud, once he lost then he is totally lost!!
Alcaraz is still rightly - the BEST of the new guns - he done things others like Zereve , Fritz , Rublev , Grigor , Rune etc etc - havnt even come close to pulling off We have to cut him some slack His wins against Djokovic st Wimbledon alone , put him well above any by miles ❤
He literally just got the weakest possible quarter, no meddy, no paul, no tiafoe, no rublev, no dimitrov, no zverev. Literally, still found a way to lose. Thats the GOAT of choke.
People now think that the goal of being a tennis player is to win over 25 GS. How about enjoying life, being so rich, successful, fit, healthy and well mannered at 21?
There is this beast in Carlos that wants to win every game, lift every trophy, break every record. Whenever he losses, he implodes and gets depressed. I don't think the loss against Djokovic is the cause now, but the loss with Nadal on doubles. His extreme competitiveness reminds me of young Messi who wanted to dribble past everyone all the time and in result got injured quite often. Eventually Messi learned how to balance his game, mentally and phisically, and the rest is history. This is what Carlos needs to do. He is already better player than Djokovic, but Novak has that balance and that us why he was able to win the Olympic gold medal after being dismantled by Carlos in the Winbledon final.
@@civotamuaz5781 Couldn't agree with you more. Carlos certainly a remarkable player 4 slams. To say he is better than Novak, Rafa, Roger, is utter nonsense. Michael Chang won the French Open, the youngest man in history, 17 years and 109 days, but he never won another slam. Martina Hingis won Wimbledon at 15 years. 9 months and during the period , 1997.1998.1999, set records of youngest ever winner of slams. In total she won 5 grand slam titles in singles. Steffi Graf did not win a grand slam until she was 19, but went on to win 22, including a Golden Slam. My point, impossible to know what Carlos will achieve in the future, greatness is longevity which Roger, Rafa and Novak have achieved. Time alone will tell whether Carlos can achieve greatness, at the moment the big 3 are in a different league.
Carlos didn't have the eye of the tiger yesterday. I really believe he needs more freedom. The saga of being this top contender sometimes turns you sad. I believe he needs a girlfriend to balance his life !! Women !!
So let me say it like always Stop comparing Alcaraz to Big 3 Nadal 2007 big loss vs Federer Federer 2008 big loss vs Nadal 2012 Nadal big loss to Novak Novak 2012 big loss to Murray i can continue ALL OF BIG 3 had Big losses while Alcaraz had only wins 😅 Big 3 came back from big losses with big wins - Nadal 2008 Wimb -Roger 2009 Wimb -Novak beating Roger 2014 Wimb and beating Roger and Nadal 2011 Us OPEN after 2010 big loss vs Nadal at the final like they have proven mentality while Alcaraz saw only the good side of tennis 😅 Alcaraz has to prove himself and on the furst try he failed in 2nd round of Us open + he had to defend SF points from last year m😅
Don't make a big deal about racket breaking. I don;t understand why it s a thing. Players get frustrated and it's better to vent it out, in whatever way they wnt. This whole swearing is bad, racket breaking is bad blah blah is pathetic.
Next you will blame Nole for taking his wings... He has ups and downs, tbh, he should talk to both Nadal and Novak and learn especially from Novak how to make a long career out of tennis.
Pressure from media and everything that goes with that. Image clothes everything is taken out of his hands.........he is too young to handle all the hype and money.
Paris Olympic, nadal helped Djokovic to win in round 2 Then in final, Alcaraz hitted every ball directly to Djokovic , never away from him, so the broken knee is not put into trouble. Watch other games especially of Alcaraz, after a few rallies he hits a hard ball away from the opponent. But he never hitted even a single ball like that to Djokovic. Classic and dirty cases of match fixing. Hindu law of karma catches with all three. Nadal can not play in us open. Both Alcaraz and Djokovic loose their matched in rounds 2 and 3. Perfect punishment from the providence. For the cheats and manipulators.
Alcatraz is just an ordinary player, only the media /reporters place him as a “one of the best player” but the fact he’s only like the rest he’s ordinary player

@z1az285 I hope, because i cannot watch Djokovic dominants almost 20 years 🤣
@@CGSRB I have no problem if Djokovic dominates (or not). tennis is a meritocracy. How many times has Alcaraz proven himself in 5 set wins at slams (USO 2022, Wimbledon 2022,2023, Wimbledon 2024, FO 2024), plus beaten Novak TWICE at Wimbledon. And he is 3 years away from his peak physical level. only a matter of time. improvement is a continuous process. if Djokovic is better fine by me. If Alcaraz is better, also fine by me 👍
To use your illogical and stupidly repeated nonsense, Carlos took a chunk of Novak's soul. Beat him twice at Wimby and the latest in straight sets, a major I remind you, and the olympic win was not a walk in the park by any stretch for Novak. I watched it and it was a battle that could have gone either way.
Djokovic will retire soon and glorious tennis will rise again. 🥰
Carlos needs to realize that it was his first time going into the Olympic AND HE WON SILVER. Yea he had high expectations for himself but this guy needs to be humbled. It’s impressive how he won silver on his first Olympic game
First he takes your legs then he takes your soul.
I guess Carlos took Novak's soul. He's not going to get slam 25 this year or possibly ever.
@@brendajohnson5525got a gold medal though 😆
Who took your mind?
@@pedrol.decarvalho8408 Carlos got silver and won Wimbledon. The gold medal is not a major.
Carlos had a fantastic summer. Two Grand Slams back to back and an Olympic final. He is just burnt out and needs to take a break. He’s only 21 years old and shouldn’t be too hard himself. Just be appreciative of all he has accomplished and Take a break to reflect and recharge. Focus on the ATP finals.
Realistically, Alcaraz is not the caliber of players who were Nadal, Federer and Djikovic. He's not bad, but he doesn't have the competition that the big three had. He needs two or three young players who would be his competition and influence his further development. He deservedly wins titles, but Djikovic is at the end of his career and there are no younger quality players. Secondly, he is young, and everyone already expects the greatest achievements from him in tennis, and they create stress and burden on him, which can have a bad effect on him mentally. He is good, but there will be others better than him, and he should not burden himself with what others expect of him. He should enjoy tennis a little more, not experience it as a job. You never know, maybe he will be the best, I wish him all the best.
Yeah…. He just doesn’t have the same competition that the big 3 and Murray had
You heard it here first folks: Carlos Alcaraz, the player with more slams and more weeks at number one than any of the Big 3 had at 21, is 'not bad' at tennis.
Recency bias is crazy. Would you say the same thing after he beat your boyfriend djokovic for the second year in the row in Wimbledon final? After winning the French, and oh ya defending Indian wells at 21 years old. Oh and he won the US open at 19. None of the big 3 had more majors than him at his age.
Take a look at the upsets that have happened to the big three in their careers. It’s just part of the game
Oh ya, realistically, djokovic just isn’t in the same level as these other top players. He can barely make it to the finals. I mean he’s ok, but just simply can’t be put into the conversation as the other top guys. This loss completely exposed him.
Rather than talking about Carlito defeat why don't we talk about Botic VICTORY ?
Because Carlitos is the legend. There is no way in the whole wide world Botic will ever will get past QF in a slam, let alone come close to winning it. So that is the reason. People analyse the greats, not pedestrians! 😂😅
talk about it, who stops you?
Because Botic is not a better player?
Carlos legend?! Let's be serious. He is good, but no way a legend.
@@stefan-andreisava8264 Yes a legend. If he never played again he would be in the Tennis Hall of Fame. His record for a 21 year old is amazing.
Carlos lost this match for too much things he won before and there how of us we’re proud and have joy in their hearts… don’t burn out Carlos, and you have time to feel better and come back if you want… love❤for all of us… thank you to you!💕monia
Hes only human, life happens ,this will pass
I’ve been watching Carlitos since he was 18 when I saw a new talent. He needs to take a break and do 21 year old stuff for a while, the pressure on his young mind has worn him down, imo. The expectation day in and day out is mentally draining. I hope his parents talk to him. He’ll be back when he’s mind is reset 💪🏼🙏🏻💪🏼
It’s hard for a talented young guy when his early achievements are overshadowed by expectations that it immediately means he’s Federer, Nadal and Djokovic combined.
If he ended his career now it would already be an elite career. Just play the game and enjoy being a mega rich young champion
I think people are overblowing his recent losses... I doubt he is losing sleep about losing to Novak in the Olympics Final. It is not like he choked a Grand Slam Final like Guillermo Coria.
He already has slams, the Olympics clearly meant a lot to him, we've seen from Novak just how hard it can be for the best players in the world to get an Olympic gold, Federer never got one in singles and Djokovic only just managed it.
Hes literally a kid, he’s achieved unbelievable titles also loads of other things. Things are always going to eb and flow, its just how it is. He’ll be back
@@Norf.F.C.Zoomer He's friends with Novak and probably deep down is happy that Novak finally achieved his gold while he himself gave the match all he had to prevent that from happening. I just don't buy that winning the silver is hurting Alcaraz inside. He was probably sad for a day and then saw the silver lining in his medal.
The point is he himself said he let down his entire nation.By winning a silver???I think that's still in his head.He should just let it go and mive on..which is hard for him right now.Novak's biggest strenth was to be able to forget what happened before and always focus on the next match.
Carlos dont wory you be ok.evry bady loses.You bee no.1 time will came.
Djokovic stole Crampito's soul.
Come on people. He’s so young, has 4 GS already. Simply got into some difficult fase, that’s all. Has to learn from it, it’s a good thing. Like when Novak had issues with breathing. Everyone has something, especially when you are at this level and expectations are high.
People are very idiotically blowing this loss out of proportion. Saying some foolish things like Novak took his soul after the Olympics and other kinds of nonsense.
The young lad is just fatigued and could use some time off away from this retardedly hectic schedule.
It's incredibly difficult after winning two consecutive Grand Slam titles to keep this momentum going for another two major competitions within a very short space of time.
On top of that, he is still incredibly young which means he's still not completely used to the brutality of the round the year schedule, especially in an Olympic year.
He was also under an injury cloud going into this tournament.
He will recover from this and be back as strong as ever.
It's not just him that had a long season.Most of them have also.He lost his first match in Cincinnati so he has almost the same time to rest as Djokovic.The fact is,after his big loss,that means to him that much,he alweys nedd a long time to recover and forget Maybe he will learn it in time,maybe not..we will see.The truth is thet there were many players who were that young and had great achivements but who could recover much faster.And there are many players who could never recover.It's all in a character of a person.He should learn to forget faster.That's all.
@@VesnaLukic-h8w, most players did not play the Olympics. Novak only played singles (as he should). Carlitos played both singles and doubles at the Olympics.
In addition, Carlitos has achieved more than the Major Three ever did at the same age.
@@yinhoukhor7109 actually Last time Novak played in both singles and doubles and in both reached semi..and in both lost for 3.place ,but after that he won Cincinnati..in 2021...and he reached final in US open.How come he wasn't tired?It is a long season but it's not an excuse for exiting in an early stage .It's mor mental problem then physicsl because we saw that he could run ,but he didn't seem to have a focus.
Clearly Carlos is past his prime now
@@VesnaLukic-h8w, because not everyone is a Novak. If everyone could do what Novak did then there would no longer be anything special about what he has been able to do.
There's also such a thing as mental fatigue, not just physical.
I would also add that when Novak played singles and doubles, he won zero medals. Carlitos won silver.
Djokovic is doing well so he probably lost on purpose to not tarnish his head-to-head vs Novak. Roger and Rafa both did this to avoid getting spanked by Novak.
Going up against a Big 3 makes any player that much tougher!
Carlitos forget that you must win several games before final and then stand with Novak...Djokovic v Siner finale now odd is 6.25...
He first has to learn how to come back from 2 sets down.and it's all about mental strength.Botic won the mental battle.Even when audience was against him and clapped and cheer after his second double fault,he didn't crumble and seamed he didn't care.
Carlos is just smart. He ll come back stronger.
The hype was too much -- people were saying he was going to win 20 slams. Expectations too high, now coming down to earth.
Djokovic in his head😂
This new generation has great players but they don't have the consistency and mentality of the big 3, it's different to win from time to time to dominate the sport, being at the end of the era of the big 3, if someone comes to dominate you no longer know if it's because he is strong, or the others are weak
Court speed and low bouncing not favorable for him(fast hard courts), we had already seen it in AO,Paris masters,Nitto atp finals,and this year Cincinnati.
medvedev or djoko
Just a lull. Nadal had a few years like that where after French and Wimbledon he didn't have much left at NY. Two slams still a great year
Incredible Dutchman, please. He lost in the next round and lost bad, didn't even win one title in his career. And he has more matches lost than won.
Well done Botic !!! ❤❤❤❤
crazy sad for carlos
Djokovic takes your lakes first and then he owns his soul.😮 Way too many greedy people in his team that make him to play too many tournament. Carlos has to have live aside tennis if he wants to grow.
The Australian, John Millman used to give Federer problems.
He's probably had the best career year so far so a small slump after the Olympics isn't going to end his career.
These young kids are a story of crash & burn, fast up fast down, they hit their walls in life early, just like Emma Raducanu, she struggles to find her magic hand again after her U.S. open win in 2021
Its called burnout, he needs a break, thats all.
The poor boy is too tired, exhausted....one tournament after another!!! Give him a break. The tennis schedule is killing the best players. They're ruining these who have come on full of life, energy and positivity.
It's reached a point where they're treated or at least they must feel that they're machines putting up a show for audience entertainment.its becoming not fun anymore. Jumping from one competition without recuperation time in between! Thus their bodies get injured and their psychological/ mental health and stability get damaged too...as in Osaka, Raducano, etc. Give the players sufficient time to rest and recover between tournaments!!!
Perhaps he's just emotionally fragile, hence the emphasis on smiling. Safin was emotionally fragile as well. Or maybe he's just naturally streaky. I'm sure the Paris loss was devastating, but the top dogs deal with that off court.
you are right, alcaraz was destroyed by djokovic in olympic final, look into his face today compared to olympic time, totally lost confidence. After winning 2 slams this year, he is too proud, once he lost then he is totally lost!!
Alcaraz is still rightly - the BEST of the new guns - he done things others like Zereve , Fritz , Rublev , Grigor , Rune etc etc - havnt even come close to pulling off
We have to cut him some slack
His wins against Djokovic st Wimbledon alone , put him well above any by miles ❤
I think Sinner has a slight advantage over him but he's number 2 and very close to number 1 in this new generation.
He literally just got the weakest possible quarter, no meddy, no paul, no tiafoe, no rublev, no dimitrov, no zverev. Literally, still found a way to lose. Thats the GOAT of choke.
@@premanandramesh8969 just like Djokovic in the US OPEN.
He lost to two guys who are considering retirement...
Why are people cyberbullying and hyperfocusing on the most precocious player in history? Enjoy his game.
If you fly to high you can burn you wings . Carlito must learn a lot of things . He is not Djokovic not for a long time .
Alcaraz looked like he was sleepwalking through the match
People now think that the goal of being a tennis player is to win over 25 GS. How about enjoying life, being so rich, successful, fit, healthy and well mannered at 21?
I really think he got too over confident and this guy put him back to earth
The loss at the Olympics rattled him. He was sure he was going to win. He will be back stronger then ever.
This time Carlos is showing his body more than his skills
He won 2 slams this year, now that he lost 3 matches you come up with this? This is ridiculous.
Nothing happened, players wins, players lose. He is outplayed this time. He still is the player who won wimbledon and roland garros.
There is this beast in Carlos that wants to win every game, lift every trophy, break every record. Whenever he losses, he implodes and gets depressed. I don't think the loss against Djokovic is the cause now, but the loss with Nadal on doubles. His extreme competitiveness reminds me of young Messi who wanted to dribble past everyone all the time and in result got injured quite often. Eventually Messi learned how to balance his game, mentally and phisically, and the rest is history. This is what Carlos needs to do. He is already better player than Djokovic, but Novak has that balance and that us why he was able to win the Olympic gold medal after being dismantled by Carlos in the Winbledon final.
That was always Novak's biggedt strenth even when he was younger..to forget what came before and to only focus what is ahead.
He is not already better. In future yeah quite quite possible, but not already.
@@civotamuaz5781 Couldn't agree with you more. Carlos certainly a remarkable player 4 slams. To say he is better than Novak, Rafa, Roger, is utter nonsense. Michael Chang won the French Open, the youngest man in history, 17 years and 109 days, but he never won another slam. Martina Hingis won Wimbledon at 15 years. 9 months and during the period , 1997.1998.1999, set records of youngest ever winner of slams. In total she won 5 grand slam titles in singles. Steffi Graf did not win a grand slam until she was 19, but went on to win 22, including a Golden Slam. My point, impossible to know what Carlos will achieve in the future, greatness is longevity which Roger, Rafa and Novak have achieved. Time alone will tell whether Carlos can achieve greatness, at the moment the big 3 are in a different league.
He can't manage the difficult moments.
Inconsistency and loss of concentration. Moreover he take his opponents easy
VDZ played perfect tennis, Carlos probably could use a break
Carlos didn't have the eye of the tiger yesterday.
I really believe he needs more freedom.
The saga of being this top contender sometimes turns you sad.
I believe he needs a girlfriend to balance his life !!
Women !!
Malaka Tsitsipa watch how it's done... 🎾
So let me say it like always
Stop comparing Alcaraz to Big 3
Nadal 2007 big loss vs Federer
Federer 2008 big loss vs Nadal
2012 Nadal big loss to Novak
Novak 2012 big loss to Murray
i can continue ALL OF BIG 3 had Big losses while Alcaraz had only wins 😅
Big 3 came back from big losses with big wins
- Nadal 2008 Wimb
-Roger 2009 Wimb
-Novak beating Roger 2014 Wimb
and beating Roger and Nadal 2011 Us OPEN after 2010 big loss vs Nadal at the final
like they have proven mentality
while Alcaraz saw only the good side of tennis
😅
Alcaraz has to prove himself and on the furst try he failed in 2nd round of Us open
+ he had to defend SF points from last year m😅
Don't make a big deal about racket breaking. I don;t understand why it s a thing. Players get frustrated and it's better to vent it out, in whatever way they wnt. This whole swearing is bad, racket breaking is bad blah blah is pathetic.
Everyone trashing Carlos is pure coping. This young man was more successful than Federer and Djokovic at 21. He will continue to get even better.
everyone is saying why is carlos, or what is carlos, but nobody ask how is carlos
Yes! People need to give this kid a break.
Djokovic also lost if it is any such consolation
For some reason, he's just not in the proper state of mind.
He was tired men his exhausted mentally
Next you will blame Nole for taking his wings... He has ups and downs, tbh, he should talk to both Nadal and Novak and learn especially from Novak how to make a long career out of tennis.
In Paris, Nadal screwed him over by convincing him to play doubles, Nadal has everything to gain and he has everything to lose there...
Botic was on Duracell, that’s why 😂
Alcaraz is playing too many matches.
Probably still thinking about the Olympic gold medal
Too bad CARLITO.
I'd say Sinmer is now tbe favorite
Pressure from media and everything that goes with that. Image clothes everything is taken out of his hands.........he is too young to handle all the hype and money.
He just was outplayed by a better player that day
Paris Olympic, nadal helped Djokovic to win in round 2
Then in final, Alcaraz hitted every ball directly to Djokovic , never away from him, so the broken knee is not put into trouble. Watch other games especially of Alcaraz, after a few rallies he hits a hard ball away from the opponent. But he never hitted even a single ball like that to Djokovic. Classic and dirty cases of match fixing. Hindu law of karma catches with all three. Nadal can not play in us open. Both Alcaraz and Djokovic loose their matched in rounds 2 and 3. Perfect punishment from the providence. For the cheats and manipulators.
He had piles
Oh please
Alcatraz is just an ordinary player, only the media /reporters place him as a “one of the best player” but the fact he’s only like the rest he’s ordinary player
Good news for Djokovic.
5min explaining nothing else than what we all already know, whats the point of your video? you're just giving your opinion like any other person, you did not share info that no one else knows.
Botic beets lot of good players..
best in the world
