He's a gentleman, honest and humble as always ❤️🩹 He's A LEGEND and GOAT for so many reasons 🔥
Are you twins
Not going to disrupt a thing. Break Point was trash. This is ALCARAZ.
Novak fans will switch to Sinner Nadal fans for Alcatraz
Novax has no fan
It was not last week, it was announced in feb👀
Sinner suffered from illness (chronic tonsillitis) these past few months. Alcaraz, on the other hand, missed a few big tournaments due to injuries before turning 21. Personally, I think Sinner will have a longer and more successful career. As for other competitors, Rune will be there to mess them up.
How do you know his Tonsillitis is chronic ? At the moment it's hard to envision Sinner having a more successful career. He's 2 years older than Alcaraz and has 3 less Grand Slams and masters than him. He could soon lose the #1 ranking and fall further behind in that too. Rune is not gonna challenge Alcaraz unless he improves his forehand and fitness. His forehand just has a weird form.
@@nikhils2381 it's in the news in Europe. As for the careers, let's see. It is still too early to write Sinner off and give all the advantages to Carlos. Once they are in their mid thirties, it'll be interesting to see how they fare.
I am Sinner fan I agree with you ,but I wish for a big change and he becomes a physical beast 🤞
He is 18 not 15 his name is Mensik.
Love that and could easily see him being the one that makes a run !
Re The ESPN rankings: LOL Serena over the top 3😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a joke. All of them should be over Serena. Nole at the very least. Stephen you are so accurate saying it’s Americanized.
Stephen the Olympic seeding segment was very unnecessary. You know damn well why and how the ranking system works. No need to lower yourself just to please the JP because he doesn’t understand how it works. Also, Canada😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they are all going out in the first. Other than that, love the show brother. Keep going 💪🏾
Sorry for being dumb, I’ve recently been working on it 🤝
@@JP-Hovey Nothing to be sorry about JP. Tennis rankings are complicated, and with literally a dozen or so professional events happening around the world every week they are always changing. If you haven't already checked out the rankings breakdown on the ATP site that really helps to understand how players have accumulated points, and also the live ranking sites are helpful to keep track of points being removed, and added every week. Particularly before, and during the majors I look at live rankings daily to see the impact of the latest results.
King Carlos! ❤🏆🥇
They been there since IW I think
2012 AO for djokovic with chocolate
Alcaraz Era !!
Who is that talking?
Nicolas Mejia!! Colombian tennis player
Could it be that Alcaraz is 21 and Djokovic is 37 almost 40. He just couldn’t beat a youthful guy like Alcaraz with so much talent so many tools. He was too much for Djokovic
😂😂😂 you're a great comedian Grumpiest of all time
I predicted it Carlitos winning it in straight sets but I was just joking and angry with One comment that Novak will beat Carlos in 3. I thought it Will be a close match and Carlitos edging Novak a bit in 4-5 sets.
He is the GOAT tennis human.no tennis player has faced and overcome more adversities than him. 👍
Haha nice joke He's a prick 😂
Alcaraz was absolutely amazing. I would've been surprised if Djoko won looking at his previous matches but I certainly wasn't counting him out because Alcaraz did look vulnerable but also Djoko has won numerous titles. But I've seen him (Alcaraz) numerous times and one of his strengths is his positivity and the courage to go for it whether he wins the point or not. No fear to go for it. It's high risk at times but very exciting and good for him. Agassi was questioning whether Alcaraz could dominate tennis because he "smiles" alot during the Netflix slam match. I thought to myself. Yes. Of course he can! Everyone is different. Agassi hated tennis lol and won, but Alcaraz loves it and wins. I also heard many people bang on about lack of concentration during matches but I think this is completely normal as someone so young. I do not expect him to be so consistent, that's why I'm amazed at how well he's doing. I remember Djoko doing plenty of drop-shots which was losing him many points. He changed this later on and became very secure in his game. I also agree. He is the best player at the moment. He was sensational in the final. The most dangerous thing is that he is most unpredictable and he has everything in his game so those skills could come out at any moment during a match. And once he's matured and consistently hits the right shots at the right time, then he will be almost invincible. My only wish, is that he does not have major injuries. If that's the case, he can make double digit slams. But who knows, it's not a guarantee. Winning multiple grand-slams is very difficult. We've witnessed extraordinary tennis with the big 3 and Murray. I don't expect history to repeat itself quite like that so I do not compare with them. But what this does, is great for tennis. The Sinner-Alcaraz rivarly will only get bigger. Love both the guys. They'll also be other guys such as late-bloomers and new young blood who will challenge. That's always the case.
You look like Jake Gyllenhaal is he relative
14:45 oh yes. the only difference is that Federer was better player than Djokovic in that wimbledon final 2019, which was not the case with Djokovic in this Winbledon. Yeah, back then, 38 year old Fed against 32 year old Djokovic. Now we can see how good Federer was.
It's 3 sets to love. It's a demolition or whatever you want to sugar coat it! 😂
Stephen I want to apologize. I deleted my comment which was just disrespectful. I was drunk and disappointed. You do a good job with your channel. Sometimes i hate being a fanboy but what can i do? Big 3 era is already over... have to accept it. Sorry again!
Stephen you are turning out to be god of predictions in ao you made a video why sinner will beat djokovic in 4 sets and it happened exactly , then rg and now you got it spot on as well .
🎻 😊🏆🏆🫅💪🔥🇪🇸🥳🎉🎊🎇🎆✨️🎻
I love how the video ends seamlessly, goes back to the beginning like a servant Valley
I thought this was a watch party. I came for reactions and comments about the match. What I got was a talk fest about everything other than the actual match.
JoeCovid got SPANKED!!! VAMOSSSSS!!!
Enjoy YOUR COMMENTS And THIS Is Real in 2024, if I were Djokovic I WILL retire NOW, Enjoy The money and He's accomplished Until NOW, ALCATRAZ Embarrassed HIM, Djokovic Should GO Fishing 🎣🦦😂👌🌎🇪🇸, Case Closed 🔒😁
P
I see a lot of excuses here for Novack's performance, like his knee injury, even Novak said he didn't blame the knee he simply was outplayed, his words, not mine. Anyone who saw the AO match with Sinner could predict we would get a similar result and he didn't even have the knee injury. He simply doesn't have the energy to complete with players that have the same or greater skill than him when they make him run all over the court. It's not just youth its skill as well because he can still take out younger players that are still ranked relatively high.
Did you notice that Novak didn't have the chance to train as usual in weeks BEFORE Wimbledon? Knee problem is irrelevant??? That's why he was slow...
Enough is enough let’s wait and see what the future holds for CARLOS,,nobody is infallible,
No one called Federer done until it was over, although he hasn't been able to beat Djokovic in a GS since Wimledon 2012. He still played on for 7 years, adding GS trophies when Djokovic was injured.
@maitremorbius81 Federer got called done many many times After 2008 Wimbledon After 2011 USO After. 2013 USO 2014-2015 too 2016 too The facts are there for anyone to see u can google people making articles and stuff so plz do research before u say what your doing
what is novak going to say the truth ?? he has all the records doesn't need look down on anyone he has nothing to prove...Carlos knows himeself he won by default against a injured,one legged, 37 yr old who just had knee surgery...Big deal nothing to praise or any kind of real achievement..Ndal/djoki aussie 2012 final 2 healthy guys battling for 6 hours that is a match.. I would bet the farm if djoki got the 3rd setwould be talking different ,carlos would have been embarrased being beaten by a cripple..Carlos is not the smartest guy he will win some more in the goldilocks era with nadal/djoki,murray,fed.wawarinka all gone..once his hard hitting injuries start creeping up he will fade away
One thing i wasn't expecting was how aggressive and quick Carlos started. Last year Carlos had a horrid start and also had to contend with Novak's stalling ploys. This year i picked Carlos again because he is so much better nentally. Novak looked stunned throughout and appeared to be desperate. Either way Carlos was not to be stopped. His serving was also a factor.
Never I will subscribe to such a partisan unprofessional
Haha Djoko fans are hurting
@@vivahernando1 he is unprofessional and you are a moron
You are such unprofessional commentator Stephen. Should take lesson from professionals or 18,000 all you are going to get
Father Time has been coming for Novak and he always wins in the end… At 37, it was quite a feat to reach the final! Novak knows the door is closing on his career- the ride has been extraordinary…
Fed was 37-38 at 2019 Wimbledon not 39.
Your prediction before the match was not liked by Novak fans, accusing you of being a hater. 😅 I can’t imagine you hating any player. The whole point of your channel is to be neutral and objective. Well your prediction was as accurate as I’ve seen on you tube. Bravo. Definitely staying here
Respect Slice! You call it right❤🎉
If Djoker thinks of his retirement post Olympics, it will give him a chance to focus more on the Gold.
Was really dissapointed with Djokovic's performance. He didn't even try to put up a fight. It was like he didn't care. We never saw this kind of attitude from Rafa.
I'm pretty sure that Alcaraz is the only player in history whose first 3 slams were on three different surfaces. (At least in men). Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also we need to have perspective for Novak coming 5 weeks after arthroscopic knee repair of his meniscus. His movement from side to side was not fully there. But still he started slow in sets 1 and 2. Carlos's serve was so good. Carlos was great in every aspect of the game.
However, Novak is still the world's best player
Was, he was the best
Alcaraz is truly the best in the world notwithstanding that after this Wimbledon victory, he is still slightly behind Sinner in overall points Alcaraz will only get better
Alcaraz is a Superstar with a heart of Gold 🤩🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💫 Without a doubt He’s definitely the No 1 in the World ☝️The whole world looove to watch him play more than any other player!!! He’s electric dynamic charismatic and has this killer instinct !!!He leaves You in Awe with his Magic Shots😮😳 The Rest have All the shots in the book but play like Robots !!! Verrry Boring 😅 whether it’s Sinner or Djokovic !!! The latter should retire and play the Violin 🎻 😂 Congrats Calitos 🤩🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💫🏆🏆🏆🏆 Bravooo what a performance 👍🌟💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 For me U’re the Best in the World 🌎 Vamoooooooos in Paris ❤
