  • RG 2024: Alcaraz in a great form?!?

    From Kalevi Kolttonen@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 26 15:27:22 2024
    Hello!

    First of all, I did not see the match, but
    judging by the scoreline alone, Alcaraz is in
    a great form.

    He just beat JJ Wolf 6-1, 6-2, 6-1. Did
    anyone see the match? Was Wolf awful or
    Alcaraz great? I suspect the latter. I
    expected a closer match, but Alcaraz just
    killed it today!

    PS. I watched Mochizuki vs Hurkacz starting
    after the sets were 2-1 to Mochizuki. After
    that Hurkacz took the fourth set 6-0 in only
    17 minutes. At 2-5 Mochizuki serving one
    break behind, the rain delay came and the
    match is currently suspended.

    I don't understand how Mochizuki won two sets
    against Hurkacz. The fourth set was absolutely
    horrible tennis! I think 4-0 came with Mochizuki
    losing *all the games* to love. The japanese
    appears to be quite a terrible player: Slow,
    weak groundstrokes and his serve is awful, too.

    He is a qualifier, those are always dangerous.

    They enter the tournament on a 3 match winning streak, they're familiar with conditions and full of confidence.

    Carlos was simply better, a lot better. Better serve, forehand, you name it.

    Wolf lost in qualifying to a nobody called J De Jong 61 62

    Wolf is in terrible form. He lost badly in qualifying, got in as lucky
    loser.
