This kid is something special!
Yes, a 20 year old kid. I'm a 54 year old kid.
Needs
special is an understatement :D
@@ragas2845 you could be his grandparent...
Piu' che speciale direi dopato come un cavallo
What fantastic shakehands and warm words from Stefanos. He realized, that Carlos was on an other level.
He was in a better mood after playing a decent third set.
@@mbucd 😂😂😂😂 So he's said caramel and not just salt
@@urbaneindiana3089 dude 😂😂😂😂
thats happens when one player plays their best match on his career and the other his worst match of the season...lets see if he can keep this level...i dont believe
yes I loved the way he took the fact he lost, like a real man
The differences between them is that Stefanos is just a very solid player, who shows consistent tennis on top 5 - top 10 level (like Berdych, Del Potro, Tsonga, Ferrer earlier), but Carlos it's another deal. He's an alien like BIG-3
Delpo had some exceptional highs tho
Del Potro won a grand slam though?
Don’t compare Stef to those greats
@@jimnosnow4484 why not? Stef is well on his way to surpassing almost all of them in terms of titles, he’s already won more masters than Ferrer and Berdych and the same amount as Tsonga, plus he’s won a Tour Finals which none of those 3 ever managed. All while still being only 24. If he wins a grand slam at some point he will have matched Delpo as well.
@@porter2542 In terms of achievements yes. In terms of level, no way. He has so many weaknesses, and one of the worst mentalities in the top 100. Those players from the 2000s/2010s achieved as much as Tsitsipas in the hardest era of all time. As much as I love Stef, he has had 4 years in a relatively weak era and been very average.
Thanks for the excellent highlights Eurosport.
Rarely see tennis that good. Unplayable
In tennis, matches in which one player completely dominates the other are considered to be the worst.
His game is nothing special, Just another juiced up Spanish hard hitter, with a serve that is mediocre to average..All he does running around.

It’s like watching Federer and Nadal combined in this young man. Amazing tennis.
I would say Nadal and Djokovic combined
Exactly
@@marghubarostami6547 I wouldn’t, otherwise I would have. He has the physicality of Nadal, including the high topspin forehand and the hard passing shots, and the finesse and intelligence of Federer.
@@WouterZtube And the court coverage and defense of Novak.
@@marghubarostami6547 There is a lot of Federer’s style in his game. Although today he didn’t have to play too many net points, he likes to go forward. Nadal and Djokovic didn’t really have that killer instinct when they were younger. Although I think there is a bit of every Big 3 member, he has his own style and magic. The combination of power from both wings and touch is unmatched even by the Big 3.
Is it just me who thinks that Tsitsipas improved his attitude on and off the court? He seems like a better guy compared to his last years.
Because he is being humbled by the likes of Alcaraz and Medvedev.
2 weeks ago he cursed at his mother on court so no. If anything, he's getting worse. How disgusting can you be to curse at your own mother?
@@teslamotors8544 Do you happen to know his mother though?...
He just got destroyed. No way we would do a drama on the court. That would be shameless.
@@Adiaf8oros hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
There's something federer-like in Alcaraz's touch shots
This young boy is fantastic. His skill set is flawless and it is even more impressive considering his age. I remember Novak struggling at the beginning of his career with drop shots, Carlos can already do everything, it's unbelievable. Cheers from Italy, I hope Sinner will get to his level at some point and give us unforgettable matches!
still NOLE destroyed him
@@novakgoatovic And...?
We're probably going to live a historical match on friday
yes hopefully nobody gets injured or anything like that so we can enjoy the full power of both players clash....Edit... Fuck that 😭
Carlitos right now is a total machine
The best tennis ever. And seen for many years.
Those drop shots are just magical, Special talent, Next Big Thing is here 💪
8:00 Alcaraz with only the Tsitsipas´ arm movement knows that he´s going to do a drop shot and start running to the net,this man has a very good reflexes!!
Well spotted sir
He is something special hes got abit of each of the big 3 in him shots like Roger fighting spirit and passion of Rafa and moves and slides like Novak hes the best player ive ever seen at this age if he avoids serious injuries i think the skys the limit to what he could achieve
It was very nice from Carlos that he didn’t destroy Tsitsipas in less than two hours. His level was just unbelievable until the first two match points. After the second set he had more winners than unforced and forced errors combined. That’s as close to perfection in elite tennis level as it can get. I felt sorry for Stefanos even though I was rooting for Alcaraz. The 5:3 game in the third was a very kind little choke. Although he can’t afford to drop his level like that on Friday. It will be a terrific battle.
thats happens when one player plays their best match on his career and the other his worst match of the season...lets see if he can keep this level...i dont believe
@@Pegasos4 😂 Dude at least change the wording a bit. Don’t just put the same comment everywhere. FYI In tennis many times when you play against a vastly superior player you can’t play well and he forces you to make mistakes. This was one of those times for Tsitsipas.
@@nikoschariso2512 this is called effectiveness 😃
@@Pegasos4 sorry dude but it’s called superiority. You can call it whatever you want though. It doesn’t change the fact that these two tennis players are on different levels and that is why one of them has never beaten the other.
@@Pegasos4 😭😭

He is by far the best Player in the world at the moment!
No. Maybe the best in the world at the moment, but definitally not by far.
at the moment, lets not start this hype bs its boring!
C.Alcaraz kocha tenis. Na tą chwilę nie można jego umiejętności i miłości do tenisa porównać do żadnego innego, najlepszego tenisisty ! On jest JEDYNY NIEPOWTARZALNY !
This treatment of Tsitsipas sends a strong message to all - no player is quite like this guy. Novak knows this wont be easy. Tsitsipas wasn't just beaten - he was humbled.
The scary thing is, Carlos still choked in the third set, or else it could have been 6-2, Novak will finally meet his match, no dirty tricks now, Nadal and Federer will be praying Novak doesn't get 23.
@@pauljohnson6019 I don’t think Federer really cares because he’s already been overtaken by both Nadal and Djokovic and he isn’t going to gain anymore himself.

His minus is his health. At such a young age.
Alcarazes game reminds me so much of Federer with a double hander, however he is a lot faster! Absolutely incredible talent
That's good news, because Djokovic has a lot of experienced in beating Federer's butt.
@@katerinapatiniotis5598 Novak is older now. They stole him 2022
oh the best ever, pipe down!
@@thebigmonstaandy6644 Cry me a river. Djokovic is one of the fittest world class athletes in the world , and he moves like a 26 year old. Also another massive asset is his vast experience and can adapt in every situation where the young ones still struggling with inexperience and low iq tennis and will cost them a lot.
@@katerinapatiniotis5598 so you think Alcaraz has low tennis iq?
5:33 this is the 184 KM/h shot, I think. Brutal
Wow what a performance. He made a world class player like Tsitsipas look like an amateur.
Carlos has perfected the no-context forehand bomb.
Federer's ellegance , Nadal's stamina , Djokovic's mentality in this kid 🔥
Lol Djokovic‘s mentality you said, chill tf out
Djokovic is Magnus Carlsen IQ of tennis with Michael Jordan winning instinct. Alcaraz level is brutal, but I think even at age of 36 Djokovic will take him in deep water, figure out holes in his game and drown in 3rd and 4th hour of the match with high level tennis, constant pressure and constant tactical changes in his game. If Carlos manage to go 2-0 in first 2 hours it can finish like Medvedv win over Djokovic in US open 2021 final, but if match will get longer Djokovic will take his legs and than his soul in best of 5
nah. he dont have the mentality from djoko. tsitsipas has a style thats most similar to roger. elegant movement and efficiency.

Again, thank you for this wide summary. Congratulations. Alcaraz, VAMOS!!!!💖💖💖
The boss. The best. Carlitos¡¡¡¡
I really hope Carlos beats Djokovic, for the love of tennis. This guy is what the game is about, not the defend-until-the-other-guy-misses mentality.
Very true comment...
5:34 this is Roger Federer saving that break point against Tommy Haas in RG 2009
This is the most humbling Stefano has been and it’s nice to see
I'm a Djokovic fan and I don't see Djokovic defeating this guy based in the current form Djokovic is in. A 2021 Djocovic form would have been a close contest against Alcaraz. I think Alcaraz will defeat Djokovic in straight sets.
GOD HEAR YOU ¡¡¡
3 sets, meaby 4, but I hope 5
Потом 3 сета подряд проиграет Гранд Слэмы до трёх побед
Are you a Nole Fan?? Then should know that he´s one of the toughest mind in history of sports, and Alcaraz has a lot to improve on this. Tennis is not only body and technique, mind is a very important factor adn Djokovic has won thousands of battles like this, Alcaraz is still 20 and with a lot to improve on this, especially against a monster like Nole. Alcaraz had even this year defeats that Nole or Rafa never had in their prime, so he still has to grow on this and for sure, Nole will punish every mental down that Alcaraz will have in the match, and for sure, he will have, so don´t subestimate the greatness of Djokovic so soon.
JCF said Carlos played at 60% of his potential to win the 2022 US open. The first 2.5 sets of this game have to be at least 75% of his potential. In fact 100% might just be playing consistently at that level for the rest of his career. He was doing things I have never seen anyone do in a tennis match, let alone in the quarter-finals of a grand slam against the n.5 in the world. Perhaps only a Sinner at the very top of his game might resist such onslaught. Carlos himself told Alex Corretja in Spanish after the match that he had just played the best 2 sets of his career so far. It's unlikely Carlos will be able to keep this level against Novak, but Novak should watch this match carefully to come up with strategies, should this near-God-mode Carlos show up on Friday.
You just knew Alcaraz was going to abuse Tsitsipas' backhand.
I like both, but as expected, Stefanos no instruments against Carlos. No chance!
I would love to see Novak winning his 23rd in the end, but I don't see how he can beat this Alcaraz honestly. This is pure Rafa God mode performance on clay. I just hope that Nole could bring his A game knowing what's at stake and knowing that he is getting older, this is his last chance IMO to win French Open. But still even if he beats Alcaraz he will be drained for the finals, but I do hope that they can provide us with possibly match of the year. Because when Novak retires I honestly do not see anyone beating this in form Alcaraz ever on this tournament, he is a beast.
I agree, as Novak fan, i think he will be demolished by Alcaraz, first and foremost Alcaraz is really good after he initiates a drop shot, Novak is AWFUL when it comes to net play and often loses points when there is drop shot involved against him Plus to win against Alcaraz your serve has to be aggressive and precise, Novaks serve has been shaky to say the least But I did notice something about Alcaraz weakness that Novak might have seen too as I have seen him "practice" attacking this weakness, lets see(don't want to mention what those are but lets see, I will just say that I did see Novak working on weapons against this weakness,actually two )
Sinner is the only person rn that can beat Alcaraz.
Awful!? Djokovic greatest male player of all time (although much debated with Federer and Nadal)
@@kruskotv1311 Brate po Niku ako govoris nasim jezikom kao i engleskim, volio bi da Nole dobije i osvoji turnir na kraju i rijesi dilemu oko GOAT-a za sva vremena, ali mora puno puno bolje pogotovo protiv Alkaraza, i sto vise moguce da krati poene i da mixa icpo mogucnosti da pokusa uz Goranovu pomoc da pokusa sa servis-volejima, i sto vise uz liniju na granici auta jer drugacije ne vidim da moze. Jer momak ce ga nadjacat u duzim relijima kao sto je Wawrinka uradio 2015. Po meni iskreno prvi set je presudan i ako ga Nole uzme onda bi moglo iskustvo da dodje do izrazaja i mozda da tad podlegne pritisku Alkaraz.
Probably even Nadal won't be able to defeat this Alcaraz. I honestly don't see Djocovic defeating Alcaraz. Even if he brings his A+ game. Alcaraz's A+ game is better than Novak's A+.
It’s funny how people see both Federer and Nadal in Alcaraz. Looks like he is really something
BEATING THE GUYS JOKER HAS SINCE FED RETIRED!
I love djokovic but right now i don't think he can beat alcaraz😮😢
If Carlos plays like this Friday, Djokovic will lose in 3 sets. I expect him to lose anyway, but in 4 sets.
GOD HEAR YOU ¡¡¡.
aboslutely, i agree, Novak will be humiliated and very angry at his team. He is actually very angry quite often and I think it is embarassing as he is so extremely priviled and lucky having achieved so much and having all these money.

Carlosun çok farklı bir stili var.Geleçek rakibin işi çook zor olaçak.
Carlos wanted to give this crowd their money's worth. They wanted it so bad for this to last longer and watch some more good points, it got to him. That's the truth. Djokovic and Rafa do this as well from time to time. When they are certain of the outcome. Carlos was never in any doubt, even though he dropped his intensity dramatically in the 3rd. I mean Stef has said all those nice things about him lately. He let him save face a bit 😅

You probably are blind. Tsitsipas changed his game in 3rd. It is not that Alcaraz is much better it is that usual Tsitsi game is hugely twrrible for the match that Alcaraz plays. In the third he changed a little from his usual game. This was the biggest change.
Simply on another level
FOR NOW BEATING NO MARKS!
Great match and excellent highlights!!!!!!!!!!
From where does he generate this kind of power in shot making. If he continues this he would become a recipent of injury every now and then.
Watching this reminded me why I haven't watched tennis for the last 6 years or so. That screaming gets on my nerves so hard!!! couldn't bare more than 4 minutes into this vid.
It is an embarrassment to the sport.
Which movie will be showing on Friday?: a) _Carlitos' Way_ b) _Charlie and the Djokolate Factory_ c) _Escape from Alcaraz_ d) _Djoker_
Carlos should be in jail. He just annihilated tsisi😂😂😂
I am a big supporter of one handed BH. But those 3 consecutive wins respectively over shapo, muzetti and tsitsi by the two handed genius, made me suspect about the matter
Tsitsipas had no gameplan and no hope really. He was tanking this match 100%. His previous head 2 head with alcaraz was 4-0 and he didnt have any plans to change that.
oh damn,
Well it all started for Alcaraz against Tsitspas in the 3rd round of the US Open in 2021. We knew that day he would be special. And here we are two years later against Tsitsipas. This time as world number 1, Tsitsipas yet to beat Alcaraz in a match.
Mr T sacrifices the strategic advantage with his single hander backhand. He loses ground with it. I liked when he used more height with it but then Alcaraz started coming forwards, but that was the right idea. The advantage of the single hander is disguise and variation, which T doesn't use (aside from volleying); I'm thinking short slices like Ash Bartey, knifed slices (not his floaters), BH dropshots, more use of the angles, a half volley block/repost like Fed. But mostly he just needs to be able to maintain depth with his backhand, especially on clay
thats happens when one player plays their best match on his career and the other his worst match of the season...
This is Nadal vs Federer at Roland Garros 2008

It is in the eyes. This kid is made of very special ingredients. If he does not suffer a serious injury he will break all records and will raise the bar very high. A new generation of his own. Well done. About Stefanos ; great player but before any technical or strategy change he must work on his mental ‚world‘ because tennis is a very mental sport. Good luck to him.

Backhand Tsitsipas shots bounce very high and Alcaraz destroys those. They are like gifts to him. He requires more flat backhand.
That defense in 6:55 striking
Like watching Tyson v Spinks
Carlito possesses a Federer forehand and movement, allied with a Djokovic backhand. A lethal combination .
Máster class de Carlos.
The best players step up in QFs against other players who until then looked untouchable. Always amazes me to see it. Tsitsipas looked untouchable and then today was demolished. With that said: Who will win Djokovic or Alcaraz? On today's showing Alcaraz but on past ability and weapons and total game you might say Djokovic?
6:57 unreal how Carlos gets this ball
this match should've been over a lot earlier, he risks to pay those inconsistencies against Djokovic, we will see tho, Alcaraz is for sure a pleasure to the eyes.
Too bad Tsitsi didn't play on the level he was in third set, but we all knew he'll lose. That backhand, god dammit!! Not gonna comment anymore the obvious.
He wasn't permitted to, I think.
came the day after to watch the highlights , had to wait for the crime scene clean up team to be finished with the murder of Tsitsipas’s game by beast mode Alcaraz !!!
Tsitsipas is playing and expecting the „old“ way of tennis, with long baseline rallies on clay court. Alcaraz plays with a complete different approach focused on quickly making the point, plus he has all the top skills to play a high vveriaty of shots and never give up any ball.
all credit to Tsitsipas for gettin to grips with his game albeit he lost the tie-break .. I think he just added a whole now array of skills to his game .. . I love bein able to see the dummies and brinkmanship of drop-shotting .. much more excitin to watch than endless baselining .. more net work ..like the good ol days of edberg .. becker . Johnnie mac .. imho
Alcaraz has become Tsitsipas' 'black-beast' now..,he knows it will be probably impossible for him to become N°1 player anytime soon...
