This is the most serious charity match I've ever seen.
better than hit and giggle stuff they've done previous years
@@DanTuberthat's on tomorrow night 😂
Guessing you didn't see Connors Vs Mac charity and exhibition matches? They were often no different to officials.
Español gracias
Nice to watch 2 emotionally mature and even tempered players. No drama.
De Minaur: "It's my charity towards Australia"
Alcaraz: "It's my charity towards all Australians including Alex"
Cry yourself a river. De minaur has defeated 3 top 10s this year already.
@@schoolprojectsdotcom8122 Had no idea top 10s were this charitable on court.
Love the brotherhood between these two
2:17:13 What a point to finish the match!!
What's this obsession with trashing on Alex? No one says he's going to beat Djokovic, Alcaraz and Zverev again in a slam; that doesn't negate the fact that he's now top 10 either.
Pat Rafter said the "kid" is finally getting it. Alex is twenty-four, a grown man, still in the clutches of Hewitt and that Davis cup mentored mindset. If Alex cuts free of the patron Iser's like Rafter and backs himself in, stand on his own feet, he could surprise all of us, he sure has the talent and smarts to win big.
Because haters will hate and live sad lives
Es muy bueno y ya está
Everyone is spelling Hypecaraz wrong. Suit yourselves, says I.
I think a lot of Novak fans did not like what he said about the Vaccine issue. Novak made it an issue during his speech after the straight sets win last year against Demon. Its silly and Alex tries hard and is great to watch
This two tennis players 🎾💪🏼 are having fun salamat po parehong magaling 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for posting this treat - great commentating and two of my favorite young players!
It was a Charity Match why all the serious comments, Carlos and Alex were just having a good time and people are being critical of the play, I just don't get some people.....
Carlos smiled through the whole match yet the armchair coaches are predicting doom and gloom. I don't get these people. Saying negative sh*t is all these people are about.
@@brendajohnson5525 totally agree, it was totally obvious from the mood of the match as they were relaxed and treating it like a bit of pre slam match practice....
Honestly I agree so much! Yet this might be a fun match for everyone, we all still need to remember they are one of the tops in the world.
Cant help it. Some people never get satisfide. Just ignore them, and enjoy watching. I DO! Thanks to both players for thier efforts in this event. GOOD LUCK!❤
Haga lo que haga. Siempre, Carlitos Alcaraz.!!❤

It doesn't matter that this is a charity match. Anyone who thinks that a tennis player can step out into a court with the intention to just play around and have fun is a fool. Champions are fierce competitors, all the time.
Congrats to De Minaur for looking incredible: that last point was simply wonderful.
Alcaraz is a great player, this proves his position in the rankings, he just needs to be more patient in passing the ball, rather than rushing into the net and forcing a lot of mistakes.
Je pense que c'est une année plaisir, il accepte la défaite, plus besoin de prouver qu'il peut battre tout le monde, remporter des grands titres, ou être numéro un. Il est là pour durer. Espérons que nous aurons encore des luttes démentielles et un niveau d'extraterrestre sur certains matchs clés.
Was at the match. Alex is looking super impressive. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes deep here
Sinner is su “coco”.
As soon as Carlos focused and dialled in a bit, Alex was in trouble so he's still got some ways to go before he stands firmly in the top 10
I saw that, is true, when Carlitos was playing harder and with much deep shots, Alex was not able to handle it so well as the beggining
Looking at the circumstances surrounding this match, im surprised anyone in this comment section is taking the result as seriously as they are.
Thanks so much for posting this. Much appreciated💜
I was there Alex was amazing
Where are Carlos drop shots??? He used to be so unpredictable with those but rarely uses it now.
He seems less confident and unwilling to take risks these days.
DM's fitness is off the charts - he will rise up the top 10 in 2024
De Minauers on a level that can beat anyone, his in gameplay, shots selection, and decision making can match any player in the Top10. The question is can he sustain such high level Tennis IQ, and become a great player he sees himself as.
😂
😂😂😂This is his only chance to get Alcaraz, in an exhibition match where Alcaraz didn't even give 50% of his capabilities.
@@milanavujicic6854 haha you're probably right. 😂. But hell, you can see his ego was on the line there, he wanted to prove a point.
Do not like this chatting during the match. End it now please
El décimo juego del segundo set(5-5) : Carlos en estado puro.
After watching Alcaraz struggle lately, it feels like Djokovic and Nadal have mastered art of tennis. Switching between defensive and aggressive is critical when things don’t go your way. Alcaraz is young and hope he learns soon. With his current play, 2024 would be struggling year for him.
I don't see him struggling. Final in Cincinnati, semi in USO, semi in the ATP Finals. He lost to Djokovic and Medvedev. Expected results for a world number #2, he is consistent.
Don't know what the draw is gonna be like but I feel like Sinner, De Minaur, Dimitrov & Djokovic are
gonna be in the last four!😎🍎🍏🍑🍍
Djoko will not be in the last four as he will be upset early.
Хорошая тренировка 👍💪
To win a point against De Minaur is tough because he is consistent and too fast forcing the opponent to go for the shots.
Alcaraz did not show his 100% performance. But I can say that Alcaraz has problem with his playing patterns. Every player can read his drop shots. And he missed too many volleys just before major competition. It seems very serious.
De minaur has faster tempo with the new generation forehand.
The new generations are not dropping their rackets anymore like De Minaur. Forehand is getting simpler as De Minaur swings right away after his unit turn. De Minaur can rank up in this competion for sure.
Good point
First thing he needs to be stop being flashy,many times he unnecessarily goes for tricky shots instead of playing simple.Rudd has already pointed this,now it's his choice to either go monfils way or go to become one of the goats.
De Minaur is in great form however, Carlitos is well brought up. He displayed real charity 😜to Alex and Austrailia. Good for him.
Carlos isn’t playing at his level from six months ago. Less short points, more errors on the backhand. Less drop shots. It seems he isn’t getting easy points like before. He also keeps getting caught flat footed. In contrast, Sinner looks like he’s playing his best tennis ever.
It's weird huh....since Wimbledon he's gone somewhat downhill..
It's either a injury, personal problem/s or he's just lost interest in tennis somewhat 🤷
I don't know how anyone is going to beat Novak.
THERE ARE MANY GOOD YOUNG PLAYERS WHO COULD BEAT DJOKO. DJOKO IS GOING TO LOSE BEFORE THE QUARTERFINALS.@@NathanBee3
Every player is beatable
I want Alex to win Aussie open
I have faith the demon can be the next Leyton Hewitt but he needs to stay focused because Novak and Alcaraz are not going to go easy on him in the AO, French Open or Wimbledon.
Lleyton Hewitt was quite a disappointment…only had 2-3 good years when the competition was weak…at the moment I think DeMinaur is a much better player than Hewitt ever was but because their are many players better than Demon, he will always be a second/ third rate player at best with little chance of winning a slam.
Gran campeón!!!
WELL DONE! WE ENJOYED, VERY MUCH!
Is the court slower compared to previous years?
Carlitos Alcaraz ❤❤❤🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻✨✨✨✨
Alcaraz is not playing tennis like a few months ago. Wimbledon was his last great game most other games he lost early in the tournemant. He will never reach Federer/Nadal/ Djokovic. I think he will not get far here in Melbourne.
Yep..no competition for Novak...AO 24 could end up being like AO 23..boring.
Semifinals US OPEN 2023. Quite far.
De minaur only plays well in matches that don’t count….in grand slams he always disappoints.
lol
At the 2023 slams, apart from on clay which he's never relied on anyway, AdM lost to Novak, Medvedev and Berrettini on grass. Terrible eh.
30:00 Regarding power in Carlos strokes. I dont think that the power in his strokes is a secret. What I see is good footwork, high ahtleticism, perfect feel and competitive edge. This is coupled with enjoyment in his, he is not forcing it, but enjoying it. Everyone could play his shots, I think I know how he doesn it at least, but its risky, physically though and mentally tough. So basically hes simply a very good tennis player :D
Just look at him. He simply uses all the levers a human body has, the wrist on top with force, too. Thats the secret. All strokes at the limit. I can do that, but I miss 90% haha
You spelled Hypecaraz wrong
Carlos hits with power and a lot of spin. This is why they keep talking about his heavy balls which sting the opponent's racquet and hand
@@krishnaramachandran7722 yes, but dont be fooled. at least from my understanding of playing the best tennis of my life at 43... heavy comes from topspin. you CAN hit FAST i.e. flat, but you can get a little extra speed using spin, since usually the straight line shot is super risky and sometimes impossible. hence you hit with full force and add spin for safety. you DO see, he combines both into a REALLY quick ball that ALSO has spin!
of course hitting hard AND adding spin means athleticism. de minaur has spin, too, but its rather weak and JUST for safety, not a weapon. his strokes are very flat and energy conserving. his spin balls look kind of funny technically in comparison.
@@msalvs i figure that just the business in tennis. they probably dont even know they NEED to build people up to serve the viewers narcissistic fantasies, but thats what it is.
Two monster play tennis each other
The comments against De Minaur are so weird. I feel like they’re led by Balkans who are still salty Djokovic couldn’t get into Australia that one time.
I didn't like De Minaur even before that, but to be true, I sincerely see you kangaroos getting hyped over a guy that only has elite speed on court. He has mediocre forehand, weak serve, pusher backhand. Plus, doubtful stamina in bo5...Thompson is far more complete of a player if you ask me...
Why would that be the case? If it's got something to do with 2022 AO, wouldn't you think that other players who play for Australia would also be targeted. I don't see the logic there. The Balkans as you call it would be more interested in supporting a player from their country rather than putting down a player from another country. As for the vax comments, it might just be a case of people having different views on vaccines. Nothing personal against the player, just against the player's comments.
I know it's an exhibition but they both looked like they fought hard for the win. Alcaraz must use the drop shot and come to the net earlier in matches like this where his opponent is a wall.
De Manure was anything but - he looks like he's finally discovered that he has some weapons.
Pueden colocar subtitulos en español por favor
Aleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex ♥
❤❤❤❤ yesssss vive l open Australie
wow alex you have beaten carlos alcaraz
How serious are these players about this match
Carlos was smiling the whole time.
Porqué ponen en DUDA, qué este chico Australiano logre ganarle a Alcaraz, acaso no empezó como éste chico???.
We were here on the night
With this Form.....De Minaur will give a stiff fight to top players. Come what may!!
I'm really upset about why Carlos is lethargic
Is there only I think Carlos's strings are lighter than usual?
Chicos es su oportunidad ganarle a djokovic ustedes concentrence confien en Dios que a mucho jugara el primer quisas el segundo partido jueguen al 300% suerte y Muchas Bendicione
Partidazo entre un murciano y un alicantino!
Алекс что съел озверин, всех топов вынес с корта за последние несколько дней. Надеюсь, что он покажет хороший теннис на А.О. и не разочарует своих земляков.
Clearly Alcaraz was not playing every point seriously, especially for the first 16 games.
Good result for Alex. Will give him some confidence for next weeks. But honestly, Carlos played horribly and will not even come close to winning the AO in this form. There is a lot of work to do for him. I am really not sure why Carlos hasn't played more practice match before the AO.
Wait, you spelled Hypecaraz wrong.
@jeroenbakker3628 it’s a practice match maybe he didn’t wanna waist his time on a 250 event before AO and if he did that you peeps would be doing what u always do
Maybe I missed the exhibition part of this match
Nick Kyrigos = Dwayne Johnson
I do think it's a bit early for the people who are jumping on the Demon Train. What he's proven is that he's really good at exhibition matches. Possibly the confidence from these upsets carries over, but it's just as likely he'll be the same old speed-and-no-weapons Alex when the matches truly count and are best of 5.
Alex has added more to his game in the last 4 months, he could win the Aus open
I think we might be in for a surprise with De Minaur as well!
But if he plays Sinner I'm not sure though..
We all know that this was a charity match. We all know that Alcaraz has won two majors and Alex has won none and probably won't win a major. As an aussie, I love watching Alex and Alcaraz as they both like to use all of the court and are good at the net.
You lot have to calm dowon on Carlos this is only an exhibition match albeit how serious it is this does not reflect his performance in the upcoming tournament
Its sooo refreshing listening to great commentators like this unlike our "british" ones who are trash with annoying voices
Yes, I noticed how good the commentators are too! Knowledgeable and respectful of all the players and coaches!
@@beryl8285 I am glad you agree and I feel great that Im not the only one who knows this!
3 setter Grand slam is different game. Played form, nerve and stamina will change. We will see how Alex performs against Nole, Alcaraz or Sinner …
ALEX MAY PLAY SINNER IN THE FINAL.
Carlos seems to be completely out of form, whereas Alex is playing the best tennis of his career.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
28;50
Charity Match 😉
Looking at Carlos last few months he's absolutely no where near the explosive and dynamic player he was 18 months ago. Now his shots don't have the power or penetration he used to have and he's getting very predictable in his play just going from side to side on the baseline where 18 months ago he would try anything from anywhere. It's understandable to go through a patch like this after got so good when he was so young...but to become great again he needs to go back the old Carlos and quick or he will get dumped out of the AO in the early rounds..
I think players are understanding more how to play against him now. To be a good player you need to learn how to adapt to playing conditions of your opponents, the greatest of players learn this within the first couple games of a match. I feel Alcaraz still is learning this.
Did Carlos change racket? Maybe thats the reason
He’s literally doing way less drop shots. It’s so weird. He also seems to be missing much more on his backhand into the net.
@@matth9875I don't think that's it.
@@ztwisteern1185lol no
De Miñaur
Miss Nick Kyrgios
It’s just a show match , however the Australian guy will give them grief.
Thy was no reason fr Alcaraz to win
Wow....I didn't like this guy after whatnhappened with Djokovic about v....but now I respect him for extremely hard work to get this level! Congrats man and good luck on the tournament;)
Watch out here's come alex you all 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Horrible commentary. Barely called the match while demon was playing incredibly. It’s a charity match but at least have a go.
Why they look so determined and stressed to win a charity match ?
드미노 컨디션 좋네요. ^^
Carlos couldn't even reach to top 16 in AO, with this performance. He more should be mature and serious to be in top.
The question is why do you want to waste all your energy on a chairty match considering there is a real compeition coming up?
If De Minaur will meet Novak in AO,he will be defeated in straight sets.If he meet with Alcaras he will lose it also.This is just a show for domestic people and a nice match for propagating the tennis in front of children in Australia.Real fight will start at Monday.
Yep agreed but some fans are too naive too understand this.
He's in the top 10, and has performed well against Djokovich and Alcaraz but the AO will be the true test. No one cares about these small matches if Alex wants to make a name for himself he needs to win a grand-slam.
Я так не думаю. Де Минор реально очень быстрый и способен напрячь любого теннисиста вне зависимости от рейтинга.
One thing for sure is that De Minaur will be defeated in straight sets by Sinner! 😂
It's a fucking charity match lighten up
Both of em have the fitness to go 5. Wonder if Carlitos would have the mental to come back if this was a slam. 👀
Of course he's already won 2. He will win more.
@@brendajohnson5525 I dunno..he's gone somewhat downhill since Wimb
One thing for sure is that De Minaur will be defeated in straight sets by Sinner! 😂
against the old Alex. This Alex is different.
I dunno. Sinner is up & down.
Carlos playing like this means another easy AO win for Novak.
@@ahnguyen1 this Jannik is different! For the record Alex was always defeated by Sinner! And now Jannik is from another league…he is getting better and better and after winning the AO surely more confident! Alex and Jannik are good friends tho!
@@NathanBee3 well easy AO win for Novak in your dreams! Big mistake coz you didn’t consider Jannik Sinner and in semifinal Novak could lose in three sets straight! At least he won one set! 😂
Alcaraz will be dumped in the first or two rounds. His major shot has been forgotten: The drop shots.
Loool De Minaur bores me because he will get knocked out by a WC
He clearly doesnt if ur taling ur time out to comment
@@mattheworr7018 here is some context if you care to listen. He’s good player, exciting to watch but history has shown he has yet to reach exciting heights in his game instead of producing a good charity game here and there or having a good run at an ATP 250/500. So now I’m bored of his story if thats okay with you Detective Matthew of the Boring Police
goat as in lamp 😊
Every player should have right to play under her/his country's flag. One cannot choose the country of one's birth.
WTA/ATP/ITF, stop this nonsense and do not mix sport with politics.
Appointing "flag police" at the previous AO was not even childish... it was embarrassing and insane...
Wars are run by politicians not sportsmen/sportswomen.
Why during the invasion of Iraq, 20 year bombing of Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan not to mention the genocidal Vietnam war US, Australian, UK... athletes were allowed to compete under their national flag?
USA invaded Iraq in 2003 and yet their flag was still allowed at the World Cup 2006 in Germany and 2010 in South Africa despite the fact they were still in Iraq. Either ban ALL flags of countries who go to war, or don't ban any of them.
Another example; are Israeli (Para-)olympians responsible for the policy of their government towards Palestinians?

All wars are equal, but some wars are more equal than others.
que mal se ve esa entrevista en pleno partido🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
لو الكراز هذا مستواه من الآن هو خارج المنافسه
Really hope Carlos wasn't giving his best because it was charity match...if not, he's not in a good form...he's always been more brilliant than this even in exhibitions
Other players have had more matches. Carlos still needs to make adjustments, like he did for Quees and Wimbledon. We know he is the kind of player who can fix things inside a tournament instead of during preparation. But his early rounds are not that easy. Blublik in R32, Paul in R16, Hurkazc in QF...
He has the toughest draw
@pureffm let see if they make it to him
Bublik let’s see
Paul might lose R2
He can’t face Hurkacz in qtrs that’s impossible like guaranteed lock
@@colethomas903 quarter will be Rune, Hurcazc or Medvedev, likely Medvedev
@@colethomas903 Paul faces Barrière, Draper, and Struff before Alcaraz, I think that's doable.
De Minaur, c'est pas un rigolo. On voit bien qu'Alcaraz, lui, essaie de s'amuser un peu.
Bien por de Minaur.
This Alcatraz must be a native farmer from Bangladesh and grew up in that slum.
They paid alcaraz about 7 million to lose to de minaur in order to boost tennis in australia
agree...
Novak Djokovic GOAT
In case you didn't notice Novak was not playing.
😂😂@@brendajohnson5525
You guys are genuinely the weirdest bunch
Roger Federer is the GOAT
mitoma is the goat
🤣🤣🤣. Wishful thinking! Dream on! Janick will be lucky to take a set off Novak!
기아코리아~~~
If Carlos plays like these, sinner will bagel him in 6-0, 6-0 & 6-0. ;(
Yep
I think he's just lost a bit of motivation.
Maybe winning wimb..and all the hype and attention that came with it, overwhelmed him or something 🤷
i dont think nadal willl win
such a shame about the massive grunting. its bordering on hindrance. "OUT! ........ Eehhhhhhh!"
