    Won the first set, was up a break in the 2nd set to lose it in TB,
    lost 3rd set, and now is down a break in the 5th.

    Two breaks down in the 4th.
    Will be a fifth set decider....

    Alcaraz making loooots of errors. Looks like his first day on grass....
    His back-up plan has been to hit more drop shots.

    1st round on slick grass is always toough, especially against someone
    like Fognini.

    Fog has one of the most compact swings and it's helping him on grass.

    What Alcaraz needs to do it to go with high balls to his backhand.
    He should get many long errors.

    Alcaraz 3-0... one break.

    I think he has finally taken some pace off of his strokes. Clearly
    trying to hit hard wasn't working.

    Yes I noticed that, he is tightening his game but Fog is very
    dangerous with his no swing dangerous shots.

    I remember he played Federer in Wimbledon and it was a full
    demolishing job.
