Alcaraz has Ruud trapped!

Rather than playing it cross, ruud could have made a down-the-line shot in his last backhand…..that could have dragged Alcaraz to the right side….and in the process, Ruud could have bought some time! Unless it's tough to manage a down-the-line shot at that position?!

This guy makes names up for simple plays.. he is full of shit

One thing that, for me, separates top level pros from "really good but not quite there" players is how Carlos sets up a play that would give him the DTL winner most times but, when Ruud still reaches it, he's able to keep pushing forward, first with the volley and then with the overhead. I've seen many top >30 players try a great, perfectly executed, play and then run out of ideas when its opponents returns the ball once or twice more

Bro acting like this isn't just opening the court up. All that about "The 2-1" is bullshit

Dope

Real estate to cover? Was he buying it?

This channel is when I learned that there are plays in tennis.

It makes sense there are, I just never thought about it before

That volley was everything but easy

Alcaraz is a beast, the fact that Djokovic won the gold proves he's the only goat

Rubbish hind sight analysis

I swear this guy makes shit up as he goes

Dude is tryna make it sound more complicated than it really was

Why didnt ruud try to play the second backhand down the line instead back to alcarez

I’m sure Alcaraz is always thinking about that ‘2-1’

No kicker rankings?????

Ruud could have hit the last backhand in the open court to alcarez forehand side

I can do all that carlos did except for the volley. Why is my net game so bad?

Ruud should have down the line top spin w/ safety.

That overhead smash finish was just ✨👌🏻💯

Except that Ruud was at the same distance behind the baseline throughout.

Bro all the lines to just explain what is clear for everyone to see

I love how this guy makes up plays.

im surprised he didnt use the swiss watch

Common strategy. Wide , wider until there a opportunity to go DTL. Standard playbook even for recreational players like me. No need to make it sound so magical.

Just because you have glasses, it doesn't mean you're smart

Basic tennis, you mean 😅

The fact that you said "all this real estate to cover" is what got me the most😅

why didn't ruud go for alcaraz's forehand

its called the spanish murcian bomb

Bro if I was Ruud I woulda used the chocolate moose.

If you play tennis you know thar this is BS

Could you explain the ringa dind dong?

No worries, he can use "climbing the ladder" to get out of this 2 1

This guy is annoying af. What soes upgrading to a forehand even mean lmao

Ok... actually, Acaraz went to a forehand because Ruud's slice backhand wasn't deep enough. Anyone who can go to their forehand will do so... Then, push Ruud further out on the cross court? Of course. Then, forehand down the line? Of course. Anyone would do the same.

nice to see you still around, last video I watched must been 10 years ago.

Being ambidextrous makes this so much easier

I was always giving this guy a thumbs down and making comments about how ridiculous he was until someone pointed out that he's just being funny I just didn't get it but now it makes sense! The 2-1 that is funny!

He didn't require running to convert it to a forehand

Please stop making stuff up Clown

There is no played called the 2/1. You are just trying to look wise. Lol. You can’t run plays in tennis

The stupid and annoying explanations are unnecessary. Thank you.

That’s not easy to do because it also leaves the whole half of your cross court open too. And hitting cross court when standing on the backhand side the nets also higher.

ALCARAZ IS THE GOAT 🐐🐐👑👑

This is pure shite. The second shot was to Alcatraz’s forehand. You’re just making things up.

Stop this nonsense please 🙏

"Alcaraz is going to run around his backhand and upgrade to a forehand." rolls video Alcaraz doesn't move at all, Ruud simply slices the ball to his forehand side. Great analysis!

Why is this silly little nerd giving these plays random ass names?

This is not a “play” it’s basic tennis.
