I gather you did not see that Paul lost in 1R to Mannarino. The greatest player ever who had absolutely no weapons.

i dont make predictions after the event!

by ponchi101 I guess this time you did. :) Paul lost on Monday to Mannarino.
Anyway, that was a match that both surprises me and doesn't. As I said before, I love Paul's game and I wonder how come he is not ranked higher. And then he loses to a player like Mannarino, which explains a lot.
But. This is what Mannarino does. Slow ball you to death and play at such a different speed that the other player does not know what to do.

by Suliso I guess indoors is just not where Alcaraz feels most comfortable.

by ponchi101 Wonder why. It is not as if he does not have speed, and his strokes are fast.
But the evidence sides with your statement.

by ashkor87 a bit puzzled to understand why Alcaraz loses on really fast courts to people he normally beats easily - Humbert here at Bercy, Machac at Shanghai..
one hypothesis is he needs to be able to set up the play, take time to do it, which he doesnt get on a fast court.. nothing in his stroke production that takes too much time.. maybe he just needs more experience..
anyone have thoughts on this?

by ponchi101 You know my opinion. You always make your predictions based on court speed. I say that is the least of factors. The brand for the balls will be much more of a factor than any difference in speed, within the parameters of the surface.
We are now in the habit of analysing every loss by Carlos or Sinner. Because when R/R/N lost, we were so unable to grasp it. Carlos lost because he is a HOF, he is good for 12-16 slams when he will be done, but he is not any of those three monsters. And Sinner will eventually come down to earth too.
Carlos lost to a fine player, like they all are in the ATP. Look at your prediction: Paul and Alcaraz lost earlier than expected. And it really means very little, both about your prediction skills (you are as good as everybody else) or them as players (they are still very good).

by Suliso There is still a clear trend in which kind of places Alcaraz is more likely to lose and in which Sinner. Those are not identical.

by ponchi101 Of course. Sinner is really at his best on hard courts. That would be my assessment. Alcaraz seems to be more at home on outdoor clay and, for some reason that I don't know, he is damn good on modern grass.
His "weak" surface is indoor hards. One more shared trait with Rafa.

by ashkor87 Alcaraz is clearly better on slower courts, including Wimbledon, which has slowed a lot over the years .
No, I don't consider court speed to be more than 10% at most but it can make the difference between two equally good players .which is why I am surprised at Alcaraz losing to Humbert..they are not equally good...

by skatingfan One of the key factors in the match was second serve points won - Alcaraz was kicking his serve into Humbert's forehand, and Humbert was punishing it.

by mick1303 I have a feeling that despite his already spectacular resume, Alcaraz has some learning to do. Specifically - the patterns how to play against lefties. They are different and require some repetitions in match situations.

by ti-amie
Karen Khachanov told Ugo Humbert at the net to show more respect:

“I told him at the net to show more respect. He has no idea how to behave. I’m always about fair play. I will congratulate him if he behaves like a normal person. That’s all I can say. You can be with the crowd. I have no problem with that. Did you see me celebrate yesterday? Grigor was exhausted. He wasn’t injured at the end, he told me. Did you see me jumping and screaming ‘Come on! Allez!’ After every point.. do you think it’s okay? You can celebrate after with the crowd no problem. You can do whatever you want. But while you see injuries are part of the game… to do it while you see the guy is on the ground? Okay, see you next time.” 🥶

(via
@ZiggoSport)

by skatingfan I watched highlights of the match, and I'm not sure when Khachanov injured himself, but he clearly couldn't play the final game properly.

by mick1303 Maybe it is something in the French culture, that they are willing to sacrifice sportsmanship for the result. Gaston, Rinderknech, now Humbert...

by mick1303 Glad that Zverev won in straights, never letting Humbert into the match.

It's great when someone with a history of that has been accused of intimate partner violence yet has never been convicted in a country with a proper legal system defeats someone who celebrated too hard while defeating an injured opponent.
Maybe we can stick to facts.

by mick1303 Judging on how Zverev's opponents react to him at the net (mostly warm interactions) he is respected, which leads me to the conclusion that they do not believe these allegations.
