    The only way Rich is getting a point off Alcaraz is playing against him in TopSpin 2k25. On Easy mode.

    So happy to see my favorite sport getting some love. I called it when Alcaraz was 15-years-old that he would be world #1 and win majors. Rich, there is hardly a chance that you could get a point off of Alcaraz or any other pro. I doubt you would even get a point off of a high level D1 player, let alone a pro like Alcaraz. I don’t think you understand the speed and spin that is on a pro level ball.

    The only way Rich will get a point off Carlos Alcaraz is if Alcaraz double-faults.

  • @harrdeeharr
    @harrdeeharr 3 месяца назад +4

    Lol Rich, I think your strategy would actively give you a worse chance of winning a point than if you just played Alcaraz normal. Alcaraz has quite literally the fastest ground speed in tennis. Even if you focused 100% of your energy on hitting the perfect underarm dropshot serve, you have exactly one chance where you’ll have the element of surprise and he’ll probably just run it down anyway.
    You’re better off with the “get him bored” strategy. Alcaraz is a player who thrives on big shot-making and wowing the audience. Focus your practice on consistency, hitting slow, safe, high bouncing serves and groundstrokes, and I’d bet eventually Alcaraz will get bored and go for a silly shot with razor thin margin that he’ll miss.

  • @delphic464
    @delphic464 3 месяца назад +8

    You only have one chance. Drop serve on the first shot. Alcaraz will set up on the baseline because of habit and you put a lollypop right over the net. After that he's going to be 10 feet inside of the baseline and your 50mph serve will get returned at 90+ to angles you've never seen.
    I love the delusion that RE can handle a return from Alcaraz. You try a drop shot, the racket will clatter to the ground, and your wrist will be swollen for a week.

    • @xngr
      @xngr 3 месяца назад +1

      Even if he hits a very good underhand serve by his standard, I highly doubt Alcaraz can't get to it well in time..

    Unless Rich has a minimum 125 mph serve that he can hit a line with that none of us knows about, he has zero chance to win a point. Rich can't push Alcaraz back off the baseline with his serve, that's ridiculous.

    Rich brought up Larry David's delusional idea that he could fool NFL defenses. It's the same delusion.
    The theory makes sense but in practice I don't think Rich's servers are fast enough to get a top tennis player to move back. The speed difference between the serves he has to deal with "at work" and between his speed and the speed of players Rich plays against, assuming he does more than pickleball, is huge.
    This will be like the 40 time difference between Rich and pro players.
    This 5 set match will be over in 2 after Rich can't get any points and pulls a hammy

    Oh stuff of dreams, but I also had to check. So Serena was 21 and 3 months when she first won all 4 grand slams for the first time. So if Carlos wins the Aus Open in January 2025, he will be 21 years old and about 9 months. No matter what, crazy both are crazy talent athletics

  • @lngun
    @lngun 3 месяца назад

    I think the best chance he's got is on clay. He just needs to practice hitting one spot with a top spin serve, then on one of the switch overs pile up some of the clay on to that spot so it gets a wicked bounce.

  • @jikan-tabi-1888

    At least 1 point off Alcaraz via an unforced error. Carlitos might have 3 grandslam titles but he ain't perfect.

    • @thomasbrown8462
      @thomasbrown8462 3 месяца назад +1

      Na man, these guys are annoyed if they miss once in a 200 shot rally crosscourt with another pro. Alcaraz doesn't even need to hit 40 average shots to win 2 sets against Rich, who will hit a ball 10x easier to handle. Rich won't return a single serve, and Alcaraz just needs to hit 1 normal (for him) rally ball every return point - Rich won't be able to make it.

  • @williambaumert7726
    @williambaumert7726 3 месяца назад +1

    If alcaraz doesn't really care sure you can maybe get a point off him, maybe he'll miss a shot. But if he really cares about winning every single point - there is no chance you get a point.

    Can’t wait for Rich to get bagelled while not scoring a point and then retire injured 6-0 4-0 with cramp in 30 minutes.
    Rich, sorry mate, your serves are about to push Alcaraz back about 1 cm from the baseline. He’ll probably be stepping forward most of the time and hitting return winners. So Rich’s underarm serve is not gonna work, he moves too fast and isn’t standing far. Also Alcaraz has dealt with body serves his whole life.

  • @Yon_Jon5715
    @Yon_Jon5715 3 месяца назад

    The notion that Carlos Alcaraz, possibly THE most skilled tennis player ever, would SOMEHOW set-up DEEP, to brace himself to return the imminent threat of a Rich Eisen serve has me laughing out loud! Seriously! 🤣🤣 That part was complete delusion!
    Still, I believe that Rich COULD get a point, through an Alcaraz fault, as he is so aggresive. Prime Djokovic or Nadal would be a lesser chance for Rich, because of their playing style.

  • @dannyheel1
    @dannyheel1 3 месяца назад

    Alcaraz tries crazy stuff on world class players and does not really care about errors. Imagine how much more he would try against a regular person that can't make him pay in any way. So, I wouldn't say Rich could ever score a point with a winner or an ace, but he could definitely get a point when Alcaraz goes for a 1 in a million shot and misses it.
