    Young Pipe a break and a set down. Tons of UEs. Rookie UEs. Hasn't been
    able to make a dent in Djok's serve so far. Good techno crap during changeovers.

    20 too young, 26 too old, tennis careers are so short.

    20 years, too young, he will get much better, don't you think so?

    Maybe Alcaraz can turn it around like Wimbledon?

    Some parts of his game are regressing as well. I don't see the massive frozen rope power he exhibited when he first burst on the scene. That power was at least off setting the UEs.

    Do people here remember the first year Agassi was on the tour and on TV?
    For him *everything* was fun, no pressure, and everything worked. He hit
    out on *everything*.Then a bit of doubt set in, and this sorta sapped
    his free-hitting.

    I think something like this is what Alcaraz is going thru right now.
    It's mainly mental.

    I don't think he's as fragile as Agassi, but only time will tell.

    I still see him ending up with >15 slams.

    It was my fault. Sorry everyone. When I beat Alcaraz like how Djoker beats Nadal on a hardcourt, I knew that he was not good enough yet 😔

    No cheating, no coaching, no replaying moves. Being white or black, made no difference.
