For me it was around 3 in the morning when this started. So I missed it but I didn't think for a second Alcaraz would have it easy. His recent results show that he is not there mentally. Which is one of the most important aspects of the game. Did I think he will lose? No. But I knew he might have a hard time today and boy did he. Well done Van De Zandschulp!
i get that alcaraz is a superstar, but the commentators, journalists, media accounts, and even the DJ were biased towards him all night. i heard about alcaraz more than botic who played the best match of his life-incredible shotmaking, court coverage, foot speed, defense, and rocket forehands. glad to see him take this win even if he showed maybe a bit too much humility at the end carlos will almost certainly win at least a few more hard court slams in his career, but he has a lot of work to do on this surface, especially when conditions are faster
He's still too much of a showboat. Going for a tweener when you're two break points down and 1-4 in the set? He's obviously talented but still lacks some maturity imo
Exactly what i was observing! Ooh!! Aah!! Alcaraz! 🤦 Guess it's the sponsorships that pay these commentary guys to exhibit that way. Otherwise man! A cool and composed van played! ignoring the grunts that Carlos was shouting at the other side of the net .
Van de Zandschulp's humility after such a huge upset is a breath of fresh air, and I like his overall attitude on court from what I've seen. He's now my favorite to win it all, no matter the odds.
@@alani3992I don’t think this is the best part. Usually, the best part is the celebration because the celebration is the moment players show their emotions and how much that win meant to them. Everyone loves seeing those emotions, but not everyone can get their emotions out, or not everyone can appreciate these emotions.
@@nfmarquesnonsense. Having command of your emotions is the reason he won. It was obvious he had emotions in the beginning set. Then it was about holding and he did it with panache. Also a sign of respect not to do the ear touching to rile up crowds etc.
When Botic beat Shapo in straight sets, too many people were dissing on Shapo for playing a bad match when that wasn't the case. Botic was playing a great match. The same is true here. Botic at his best, 2021-22 was a top 10 level player although his ranking never reached as high. This is much more of a Botic marvel than a Carlitos disaster.
Botic wasnt great against Shapovalov. A lot of dumb mistakes. We even made fun of Botic, how this was more of an amateurgame. But last night (for us Dutchies) he was simply fantastic
Botic just gave a little smile & wink to his team after he won. This guy knows what his capable of he just needs a boost like this. Congratulations way to go!!
No celebration is optional not a rule. Why wouldnt you celebrate a win vs the world No.3? If that is how you are, fine, but why is it an issue to celebrate?
Better luck for next year Carlos! You’ll come back stronger, I’m sure 💪 2 Grand Slam titles this year is still a great achievement that we shouldn’t forget!
Ha un grande talento ! Deve tornare ad amare questo sport e giocare divertendosi ( cambiare allenatore) e tornerà più Grande di prima. Vogliamo il Carlitos con gli occhi PIENI DI GIOIA !
One of the best matches from this entire tournament hands down. Alcaraz assumed he'd win and threw away that first set thinking I'll let him have this one, but Botic did what they all do to beat Alcaraz: rushed him, pinned him behind the baseline, and kept him moving by stretching him out laterally. Easier said than done especially as Alcaraz fought back in the 2nd & 3rd sets, but still, Botic broke him SIX times. Bravo. Full match upload incoming.
I think Carlos is not enjoying himself on the tennis court right now. He said as much in his post Monfils match interview. Those losses are important for him, and he instinctly self sabotages to be able to regrain motivation and win from a position of less pressure. I can imagine it can be exhautin gto be expected to win all the time, so it is natural at his age to release some pressure, not be expected to smile all the time.
@@pureffm He smiled and laughed during the match even when losing. Alcaraz has got a really big team and the pressure to win and pay for everyone and everything is real. Way too many voices & cooks in the kitchen. Fatigue is real. All that surface switching takes its toll. He's played at a very high level and has a lot to be proud of. A Masters title, two Slams, and a silver Olympic medal all in one year is insane. Only two people have been able to win all four Slams and that was a long time ago before the much more competitive present decades.
@got2bjosh I've been thinking the same thing about his team. He would really benefit from a smaller, much tighter team. Because there are indeed too many cooks in the kitchen and too many voices in his head, as you said, but also, I imagine he must feel the pressure of having to provide financially for all of this crowd. Not that he's hurting for money, but still...
Fun fact: Van de Zandschulp was the only man to take a set off Medvedev in Medvedev's title winning run at the 2021 US Open. This happened in the Quarter Finals.
We need to see more ppl like Botic on the tour no " COME ONNNNNN" After every point even if it is an unforced error. Just a no bs type of guy. Love that. Deserved win
Botic was considering to retire tennis due to mental health issues. That was only a year ago. Now he defeats Alcaraz at a grand slam. The biggest win of his career. I hope he finds his confidence back again. He is a dangerous player on hardcourt and grass.
U mean to not show joy or any personality? Why is it so hard too accept that people are different and have different personalities. Having an outgoing perdonality IS NOT A BAD THING. As a player just be yourself and not be fake to please people especially after winning such a big match. 😂😂
In the history of tennis? I would say in the history of sports, or rather, of humanity, of the entire universe, including parallel worlds where VDZ is the favorite and Alcaraz is a dishwasher.
This is one of the greatest upsets I’ve ever seen. Possibly the greatest since Soderling beat Rafa at the French! Stunning! Van de Zandschulp played really well
Rafa v Soderling French Open Rafa v Dustin Brown Wimbledon Novak v Hyeon Chung Australian Open Carlos v Van de Zandschulp US Open The greatest upsets in all grand slams
Botic, what a gentleman. After beating Alcarez, he did not jump, scream, or dance. He just thanked the crowd, raising his rasing his racquet thrice. My respect for his manners
Alcaraz is a different player when things don't go his way. Last year, after he was beaten by Djokovic in Cincinnati, he was frequently beaten by other players.
Maybe true - but just remember - he is the ONLY player to beat Djokovic in EVERY grand slam final they've played so far !!! Now , other than Sinner with his AO open win , who else has that record ??
Humilde, quieto, com grande estratégia e um tênis muito mais alto do que o Alcaraz poderia imaginar. Alcaraz levou a segunda lição do ano. A primeira foi nas Olimpíadas.
Insane tennis from Botic. Keep in mind he faced so many injuries making him doubting to retire tennis after losing the fun in it. Big respect to come back like this!
@@JohnWick-zq8ud If miracles exist, imagine wasting one on a tennis game in a world so in need of help. Imo, the player with the better tactics won the game; the one who couldn't adjust or prevent the winner from commanding the net, lost
Botic was in a bad mental period, he said that was losing his passion in tennis, i hope that this great win will unlock his confidence and passion, for me this is a sign from the destiny. He has a great talent.
No screaming "COME ON', no chest pounding, no tearing your shirt off, no "hanging up the ph", no index finger to the ear, just great tennis from a class act!! What a performance!!
@@JohnSmith-xx9th so being confident in yourself is a crime? Do you have this same energy for nadal, federer, novak, and nearly every tennis superstar to have ever played the game?
Carlos wasn't at his best? He was running all over the court to get returns in..his opponent was jus much better on the night ,even the commentary was all about alcarez. And he was getting pound into the court.if carlos r sinner had done that to djokovic it wud have read djokovic is finished
@@carlstraughn8880Running doesn't mean being the beast.Alcaraz was well below the normal level in his last 3 hard court matches, including the match he won, but today the opponent also played extra well, yes.
@@carlstraughn8880 Yes he was fast and made a lot of gets but there was no inspiration in his shotmaking, he was just getting it back. I think he was really gone mentally, it's a surprise. Normally I don't like Alcaraz but even I felt a bit sorry for him, he looked shellshocked.
One of the big reasons why Carlos won Wimbledon final was his serve.. He service in the final was at its best of whatever i have seen of him till now... He needs to up his ante on his serve. I felt he has worked on it really well and has evolved.But after that he is back to his normal self. Serve is a big weapon and can give u a big booster at clutch moments.
All the media was hyped about sinner, Carlos, novak. Even they don't even hold pre tournament press conference with meddy ,zverev . Very happy to see These. They ignored meddy, zverev and what I was surprised was these USA players are doing pre tournament press conferences as they were going to win the tournament
If you are surprised US players acting on press conference like they are about to win tournament, don't forget they are U.S. players playing U.S. tournament. Domestic crowd has rights to expect them to perform better than outside U.S. It's part of the show. Look at hype in british media during Wimbledon. Playing or not, Andy Murray is always favorite to win it.
Botic plays a very old-fashioned style of tennis, long sweeps, approaches the net far more often than younger players might expect, aims to disrupt not be forcing another shot but by throwing haymakers into open spaces, sort of like Djokovic if he had the power of del Potro. An inspired performance, I'm not surprised to see Alcaraz struggling so much to figure him out, it's just like watching Federer trying to figure out Henman the first few times they played, where the world's best was comfortably dismantled!
Same comment is being used desperately to be recognised😅 Sinner and Alcaraz exposed Djokovic potential on court. There are upcoming upsets to face in this slam. Keep watching
I knew it the second I watched that warmup of Alcaraz on Monday. He was shanking overheads, dumping easy volleys in the net. Yeah, it was practice. But even the top pros don't practice that bad. Wasn't surprised he lost a set in the first round and knew going into this one it was going to be tough. Didn't think he'd get steamrolled though.
The difference in attitude was so clear this match, and Alcaraz needs to adjust his a little. The way he pointed to his ear to use the crowd when he won a big point at 4-3 in the third set, you could tell that he still fully expected to win when he was two sets down. After the recent Monfils loss, he did nothing but complain about his own play and failed to give his opponent any credit. Honestly, I think he deserves and needs a loss like this so that he’ll start respecting the level of his opponents more. Botic was sublime, and even though he has the game to beat anybody, he lacks confidence and needed a confidence-boosting win to break his run of poor form. His humility and calmness were impressive.
This is the beauty, and the reality of the US Open; you qualify... over the years, you gain experience.... you move up... and you beat the person that did the same thing, years before you. Carlos showed a lot of grace, even when losing, and Van De Zandschulp a lot of class as well. Bravo Gentlemen.
Alcaraz is still not over Olympic final... One thing is to lose in 5 sets, but he lost pretty much easily in second round. First round exit in Cincy as well. Shocking 😮😮😮😮
Botic recently came out public on his mental struggles, lost a lot of tennis battles against himself too, which was painful to watch. And annoying at times. This match only goes to show how HARD the tennis mental game is. Kudos Botic!
I'm Shocked at this result from Botic.defeating Alcaraz in Straight sets it goes to demonstrate how Open this Grand Slam in New York credit to him for the Victory Alcaraz would go and have a deserved Holiday he did have an amazing season winning 2 Grand Slams . Botic hope he can build on this win and go far in this tournament yeee
Let's give Botic credit, he played a great match.The lack of preparation for Carlos before US open affects him so, he couldn't enter the tournament with confidence and he hasn't had this experience to handle this rapid change between clay and hard courts.
The intensity of Botic celebrating his victory was outstanding. Ripping the shirt apart like Novak, Jumping like Nadal and crying like Federer. Did he just walked slowly to the chair with no reaction?
Just a reality check. Reminds me of Nadal's encounter with Rosol / Brown and Djokovic's with Chung. Made them stay humble and helped keep feet on the ground on their way to achieve greatness.
You are completely wrong wrt to djokovic. In 2017 and 2018 seasons, djokovic was dealing with an elbow injury for which he got the surgery done, so he was quite average in those seasons and gradually improved to his peak in second half of 2018 season. And nadal was always least favorite at wimbledon post the 2011 final. Rosol, kyrgios, brown and steve darcis : all these guys beat nadal pretty comfortably at wimbledon well before R4 matches, all of these guys were not even in top 100 at the time if i am not wrong....
thanks@@Tennis-critic..and comments-critic, I feel humbled too 😉I loved Djokovic vs Chung match though. I felt Chung matched Djokovic's rhythm and tempo all the way with the right amount of luck needed to get over that day, not that Djokovic played bad.
Patterns are emerging. These young players are unable to keep the momentum throughout the year. Carlos goes into a shell when things don't go his way and starts to play very erratically. He can't get out of that frustrated hole. We saw similar behaviour at that year's AO against Zverev. And Sinner can't keep up his physical abilities when pushed for more than 3 sets. Saw that against Alcaraz and Meddy this year. But both have time, lots of it. Things can only improve.
VdZ is a serious talent. Piledriver ground strokes and great serve. Seemed like he was going to get to the top but then there was that real choke in that match where he had all the match points (can't remember against whom... Monfils, maybe?) I said to myself that was a defeat that could really set him back irretrievably mentally. Great to see him play a solid, powerful match here.
_A veces es preciso un despacito para reconocer los errores, refletirlos y seguir adelante. Força, Carlitos. Congrats, Zandschulp!_ *Amplexos de Recife, Brasil.*
Alcaraz is the “closest” thing they can get to Nadal. But he got a long way to go. All the talks that he can achieve more than anybody is too early to tell. Let’s see how the body holds in the long run.
Amongst this bunch, its almost already determined, Alcaraz and Sinner will rule. When these two are the right frame of mind and very focused, they are better than the competition - and this is true with Novak still around. Someone else will have to come along to make me change my mind.
@@squidjames7735 Except he has already beaten Nole not once, but twice! In grand slam finals where at matters most, at just 21. He has plenty of room to keep getting better. He's not even in his prime yet.
Finally - the clip screenshot doesn't feature the winner for those who don't follow the scoreboard, but interested in the game. Please keep it that way!
Gotta see the extended highlights to know what really happened here. But looks like the dude has big weapons and he stood on a tree while Alcaraz underestimated his opponent. That’s the thing about guys in the top 100, if they play a full match at their best they can beat anyone.
@@got2bjosh tactics is one part of this but the style matchup is also another big part. A guy with big weapons like this that plays a clutch match with very few unforced errors can beat anyone. Add the fact that Alcaraz looked way too relaxed and didn’t take it to him right away, and you have this result.
Who knew that variety in the form of Botic would be Alcaraz's weak spot? This was a very well prepared strategy to the point that he made Carlitos confused and scrambling.

Paul Haarhuis is the captain of the Davis Cup team nowadays. Haarhuis/Eltingh was one of the best doubles with many Grand Slam titles. Their battles with the Woodies (Woodbridge/Woodforde) were epic.
@@Khattab9O They came true very frequently actually (122 out of 128 times for the first round and 60 out of 64 for the second round, the almost opposite of never). 😜😜 And I wasn't too far off when I said in my comments that I thought Carlos might lose against Draper because his head is not in the right place at the moment. Part of watching the tournament is to be surprised. I love upsets! I am also one who thinks Carlos needed this loss to get his motivation back. He likes to be the underdog. I bet you if he had been expected to lose against Djokovic at the Olympics he probably would have won. He doesn't seem to enjoy the pressure of expectations. He hates routine and lacks the motivation to train and sense of enjoyment when it becomes too routine, as he explained in a recent interview.
@@squidjames7735 Well the R32 draw is already confirmed...And for R16 and beyond I provide multiple outcomes until the final so you can still visualize who wins for different scenarios. My ask to you is to choose the most likely outcome from the many potential scenarios that I have highlighted.

That’s the issue of Alcaraz all along , he lost all becos he’s not focus and not serious enough to face all opponents
@@Biwo-by3hqI think it’s one of those things that comes with experience. He’ll learn as he gets older imo
What a humble guy Botic is! 🙏
1:55 Botic after creating an upset - 🙂✌️
He is the epitome of a guy just doing his day job
Introverts rise up!! 😐
It's because it was an easy win. Alcaraz played really really bad.
He's like Jokic of NBA
pretty sure he didn't know how to react due to how everyone expected alca to win
Insane tennis from Botic. Keep in mind he faced so many injuries making him doubting to retire tennis after losing the fun in it. Big respect to come back like this!
Lol he was planning on retiring because of too many losses and no progress. Not injuries. Its a miracle he even won this match.
@@JohnWick-zq8ud If miracles exist, imagine wasting one on a tennis game in a world so in need of help. Imo, the player with the better tactics won the game; the one who couldn't adjust or prevent the winner from commanding the net, lost
VanZan is smooth as silk! Congrats bro!
Botic was in a bad mental period, he said that was losing his passion in tennis, i hope that this great win will unlock his confidence and passion, for me this is a sign from the destiny. He has a great talent.
Botic was thinking about retirement only a couple months ago after a year of bad results, so happy he's turning it around!
No screaming "COME ON', no chest pounding, no tearing your shirt off, no "hanging up the ph", no index finger to the ear, just great tennis from a class act!! What a performance!!
Or he doesnt do anything because he doesnt really believe in himself. Nothing wrong with showing emotion you stiff.
Well, he’s clearly not American 😂
@@JohnWick-zq8udshowing emotion, or just showing off?
@@JohnSmith-xx9th so being confident in yourself is a crime? Do you have this same energy for nadal, federer, novak, and nearly every tennis superstar to have ever played the game?
What a performance from the dutch
A masterclass in net game
Carlos wasn't at his best, sure
.. but straight sets in a slam against Carlos is unreal
Carlos wasn't at his best? He was running all over the court to get returns in..his opponent was jus much better on the night ,even the commentary was all about alcarez. And he was getting pound into the court.if carlos r sinner had done that to djokovic it wud have read djokovic is finished
@@carlstraughn8880Running doesn't mean being the beast.Alcaraz was well below the normal level in his last 3 hard court matches, including the match he won, but today the opponent also played extra well, yes.
Maybe Botic also wasn t at his best
@@carlstraughn8880 Yes he was fast and made a lot of gets but there was no inspiration in his shotmaking, he was just getting it back. I think he was really gone mentally, it's a surprise. Normally I don't like Alcaraz but even I felt a bit sorry for him, he looked shellshocked.
So refreshing to see his célébration !
personality of a rock
Always plays like he doesn't Care, love it!
Alcaraz underestimated this guy, hitting between the leg shots in the first set and learn a valuable lesson the hard way.
One of the big reasons why Carlos won Wimbledon final was his serve.. He service in the final was at its best of whatever i have seen of him till now... He needs to up his ante on his serve. I felt he has worked on it really well and has evolved.But after that he is back to his normal self. Serve is a big weapon and can give u a big booster at clutch moments.
Novak was nesting an injury
LET'S GO BOTIC!!!🇳🇱💪💪🔥🔥
All the media was hyped about sinner, Carlos, novak. Even they don't even hold pre tournament press conference with meddy ,zverev . Very happy to see These. They ignored meddy, zverev and what I was surprised was these USA players are doing pre tournament press conferences as they were going to win the tournament
Meddy: can focus to the final😁😁😁😁
what hype about novak anyway? of course, meddy is doing meddy's thing. octopus all the way
that's why we want an underdog to win. Zverev is a contender.
If you are surprised US players acting on press conference like they are about to win tournament, don't forget they are U.S. players playing U.S. tournament.
Domestic crowd has rights to expect them to perform better than outside U.S.
It's part of the show.
Look at hype in british media during Wimbledon.
Playing or not, Andy Murray is always favorite to win it.
Because meddy and Zverev just aren't anywhere near the lever of Novak Sinner and Alcaraz
I love how Botic giving that Kobe job not finished mentality. I hope he can go ahead and win the tournament. He seems very humble.
Always knew Botic had the game, just struggles with closing out the match. Once he gets his mental game together, he can be a formidable opponent.
Wat een wedstrijd. Van Harte gefeliciteerd jongen Van de Zandschulp. Geweldig
Botic plays a very old-fashioned style of tennis, long sweeps, approaches the net far more often than younger players might expect, aims to disrupt not be forcing another shot but by throwing haymakers into open spaces, sort of like Djokovic if he had the power of del Potro. An inspired performance, I'm not surprised to see Alcaraz struggling so much to figure him out, it's just like watching Federer trying to figure out Henman the first few times they played, where the world's best was comfortably dismantled!
Second Gen going and we are still looking for someone to be as consistent as even one of the three, once in a century, GOATs
You see the score here and think 'what on earth happened to Alcaraz'. You then watch these highlights and think 'what on earth has happened to Botic'!
He still can't recover from the Olympics.Novak reset Alcaraz to factory settings.
Same comment is being used desperately to be recognised😅 Sinner and Alcaraz exposed Djokovic potential on court. There are upcoming upsets to face in this slam. Keep watching
👌
Didnt Alcaraz beat Djokovic in Roland Garros? 💀 yall dont even try to make sense anymore lol
Same things being said after Cincinnati last year and what happened next? He won 2 GS and an Olympic medal back to back to back
@@futurehofer1564 No, he beat him at Wimbledon but not at Roland Garros.
How old is Zandschulp🤔
His skills looking so smooth 👌
Wish him best of luck for the tournament 😊
28
He's 28
In the time it took to ask that question, you could look it up on this thing called a search engine. Just saying.
Djokovic broke Alcaraz mentally with that Olympics win thats crazy.
Maybe but that doesn't mean that Botic played very well.
Botic really played fire 🔥. Deserves a place in top 10 rankings right now .
Wimbledon is currently not as fast as it used to be. Both AO/USO are faster
Botic looks annoyed that he has to play next round lol
Finally, the extraordinary streak of Carlos Alcaraz comes to an end ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I knew it the second I watched that warmup of Alcaraz on Monday. He was shanking overheads, dumping easy volleys in the net. Yeah, it was practice. But even the top pros don't practice that bad. Wasn't surprised he lost a set in the first round and knew going into this one it was going to be tough. Didn't think he'd get steamrolled though.
Some people just have so much class and grace in victory!!
Even Alcaraz can learn from him.
Hopefully Botic is back in the top20 soon! Proud of him 👍
I've always liked Van De
I'm glad he got the win and hope for further success in the tournament
The difference in attitude was so clear this match, and Alcaraz needs to adjust his a little. The way he pointed to his ear to use the crowd when he won a big point at 4-3 in the third set, you could tell that he still fully expected to win when he was two sets down. After the recent Monfils loss, he did nothing but complain about his own play and failed to give his opponent any credit.
Honestly, I think he deserves and needs a loss like this so that he’ll start respecting the level of his opponents more.
Botic was sublime, and even though he has the game to beat anybody, he lacks confidence and needed a confidence-boosting win to break his run of poor form. His humility and calmness were impressive.
This is the beauty, and the reality of the US Open; you qualify... over the years, you gain experience.... you move up... and you beat the person that did the same thing, years before you. Carlos showed a lot of grace, even when losing, and Van De Zandschulp a lot of class as well. Bravo Gentlemen.
Alcaraz is still not over Olympic final...
One thing is to lose in 5 sets, but he lost pretty much easily in second round. First round exit in Cincy as well. Shocking 😮😮😮😮
You got to give some acknowledgement to VDZ to who played superb.
Botic recently came out public on his mental struggles, lost a lot of tennis battles against himself too, which was painful to watch. And annoying at times. This match only goes to show how HARD the tennis mental game is. Kudos Botic!
I'm Shocked at this result from Botic.defeating Alcaraz in Straight sets it goes to demonstrate how Open this Grand Slam in New York credit to him for the Victory Alcaraz would go and have a deserved Holiday he did have an amazing season winning 2 Grand Slams . Botic hope he can build on this win and go far in this tournament yeee
Let's give Botic credit, he played a great match.The lack of preparation for Carlos before US open affects him so, he couldn't enter the tournament with confidence and he hasn't had this experience to handle this rapid change between clay and hard courts.
4 GS and need what ? 10 weeks to be ready for a GS
Why is it people always look for excuses and explanations instead of recognizing that the line between the top players is very fine?
Please would you guys post this full match! The tennis world deserves it! Thank you!!!
The intensity of Botic celebrating his victory was outstanding. Ripping the shirt apart like Novak, Jumping like Nadal and crying like Federer. Did he just walked slowly to the chair with no reaction?
Just a reality check. Reminds me of Nadal's encounter with Rosol / Brown and Djokovic's with Chung. Made them stay humble and helped keep feet on the ground on their way to achieve greatness.
You are completely wrong wrt to djokovic. In 2017 and 2018 seasons, djokovic was dealing with an elbow injury for which he got the surgery done, so he was quite average in those seasons and gradually improved to his peak in second half of 2018 season.
And nadal was always least favorite at wimbledon post the 2011 final. Rosol, kyrgios, brown and steve darcis : all these guys beat nadal pretty comfortably at wimbledon well before R4 matches, all of these guys were not even in top 100 at the time if i am not wrong....
thanks@@Tennis-critic..and comments-critic, I feel humbled too 😉I loved Djokovic vs Chung match though. I felt Chung matched Djokovic's rhythm and tempo all the way with the right amount of luck needed to get over that day, not that Djokovic played bad.
@@Tennis-critic Novax-stans have the most excuses in the world. He never has lost to anybody when being healthy 😂
Patterns are emerging. These young players are unable to keep the momentum throughout the year.
Carlos goes into a shell when things don't go his way and starts to play very erratically. He can't get out of that frustrated hole. We saw similar behaviour at that year's AO against Zverev.
And Sinner can't keep up his physical abilities when pushed for more than 3 sets. Saw that against Alcaraz and Meddy this year.
But both have time, lots of it. Things can only improve.
maybe they won't improve, and these two have perhaps peaked. lots of players ... eg. Thiem.
VdZ is a serious talent. Piledriver ground strokes and great serve. Seemed like he was going to get to the top but then there was that real choke in that match where he had all the match points (can't remember against whom... Monfils, maybe?) I said to myself that was a defeat that could really set him back irretrievably mentally. Great to see him play a solid, powerful match here.
_A veces es preciso un despacito para reconocer los errores, refletirlos y seguir adelante. Força, Carlitos. Congrats, Zandschulp!_
*Amplexos de Recife, Brasil.*
Alcaraz is the “closest” thing they can get to Nadal. But he got a long way to go. All the talks that he can achieve more than anybody is too early to tell. Let’s see how the body holds in the long run.
Amongst this bunch, its almost already determined, Alcaraz and Sinner will rule. When these two are the right frame of mind and very focused, they are better than the competition - and this is true with Novak still around. Someone else will have to come along to make me change my mind.
In hard courts he is as close as Nadal. Only the absence of Djokovic made him USO Champion in 2022
@@menon_ji4984 Bingo!
he will never achieve what federer has, Nole is too much manhood for him to emulate!
@@squidjames7735 Except he has already beaten Nole not once, but twice! In grand slam finals where at matters most, at just 21. He has plenty of room to keep getting better. He's not even in his prime yet.
6 sets played 6 won. Hopefully this streak continues!🇳🇱
who created this video , no set points shown , luckily this guy showed the match point
What a cool/cold performance from Botic! 👏👏👏
Carlos is just human too...everybody can have a bad day...Congrats to Botic for an almost perfect game
not human enough apparently to show respect to jannik
@@eagerlyg.1982 When he didn't show respect to Jannik?

This is his Grand slam. Well done to the Dutch
I watched only the beginning of the match, but you could Botic was on fire and would not be denied easily, very happy for him
Carlos Alcarathhh! is still my favorite player. :)
Rats!
Finally - the clip screenshot doesn't feature the winner for those who don't follow the scoreboard, but interested in the game. Please keep it that way!
Gotta see the extended highlights to know what really happened here. But looks like the dude has big weapons and he stood on a tree while Alcaraz underestimated his opponent. That’s the thing about guys in the top 100, if they play a full match at their best they can beat anyone.
Full match will be posted. I already wrote how Botic did it: rush, pin, stretch, & move.
@@got2bjosh tactics is one part of this but the style matchup is also another big part. A guy with big weapons like this that plays a clutch match with very few unforced errors can beat anyone. Add the fact that Alcaraz looked way too relaxed and didn’t take it to him right away, and you have this result.
A bit of humble pie for Alcaraz! Great job by van de Zandschulp! Loved it!
Alcaraz blown away in straight sets???!!!
Great match! I'm so happy Botic Van De Zandschulp won!

He needs to stop imagining that tennis is a circus and focusing on winning strategies rather than showing off.
I like to see this guy in the finals. He does everybody a favor.
We need more than 2 min highlights!
There will be extended highlights and probably the full match. Wait until tomorrow.
I’m watching the press conference over these highlights, that’s where the real highlights are
Paul Haarhuis (former tour player and Zandschulp's coach, I presume) pretty much still looks the same at age 58!👍
Wow! BTW Haarhuis' daughter Ella Haarhuis looks like a super model.
Paul Haarhuis is the captain of the Davis Cup team nowadays.
Haarhuis/Eltingh was one of the best doubles with many Grand Slam titles. Their battles with the Woodies (Woodbridge/Woodforde) were epic.

@@Khattab9O They came true very frequently actually (122 out of 128 times for the first round and 60 out of 64 for the second round, the almost opposite of never). 😜😜
And I wasn't too far off when I said in my comments that I thought Carlos might lose against Draper because his head is not in the right place at the moment.
Part of watching the tournament is to be surprised. I love upsets!
I am also one who thinks Carlos needed this loss to get his motivation back. He likes to be the underdog. I bet you if he had been expected to lose against Djokovic at the Olympics he probably would have won. He doesn't seem to enjoy the pressure of expectations. He hates routine and lacks the motivation to train and sense of enjoyment when it becomes too routine, as he explained in a recent interview.
@@squidjames7735 Well the R32 draw is already confirmed...And for R16 and beyond I provide multiple outcomes until the final so you can still visualize who wins for different scenarios. My ask to you is to choose the most likely outcome from the many potential scenarios that I have highlighted.
