Think he'd also benefit from the old head tricks to slow things down when momentum shifts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I guess taking a two sets lead in a Wimbledon final against Djokovic, going 40-0 up, losing three match points and winning the game and match anyway isn't for everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not by much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 It was all too easy in the end apart from a wobble on match point where a fan screamed and put him off a put away. Absolute brilliance from Carlos, just never made it easy for Novak, and Novak just didn’t have the speed or movement to stop the onslaught. Too soon after surgery to expect to beat Alcaraz, but fair fucks to Novak he is clearly still one of the best. If he never had to have the surgery it may have been different. He should be better physically by the US Open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallant Pioneer Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 2 hours ago, GordonS said: They're talking about Djokovic like he's not a 37 year old who hasn't won a title, reached a final or beat a top-10 player since November last year and who was 13th in the world so far this year before Wimbledon. I think a peak Djokovic, Federer or Nadal beats Alcaraz 8 times out of 10. Alcatraz is 21, it’s another 6 or 7 years until he reaches his peak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players don't all have their peak at the same age, genetics comes into it too. I'd say Nadal's peak was 2006-2011 when he was 20 to 25. He won his first Wimbledon just after he turned 22, that was his 5th slam. No idea how much more is to come from Alcaraz, of course, but I think he's benefited from missing the era of the goats. Guys like Medvedev could have done what Alcaraz has achieved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Has alcarez been slightly lucky that the boys 5-10 years ahead of him haven't been great? Yeah possibly but the boy is fucking good. I can't remember many saying federer was lucky to come in as the 90s guys came to the end of their career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
