Everyone loves Alcaraz's insane power hitting, but what really impressed me was his defense. Towards the end Tiafoe was not getting any free points. On multiple occasions he hit a 130 mph serve, a massive +1, and a deft drop-volley, only for Alcaraz to come screeching in for the pass. Alcaraz might have the world record for most sliding in a hard-court match.
For so many years, athletes across all sports have had safety first drilled into them. Alcaraz has completely subverted that fear of making mistakes and it's glorious to watch.
This is the whole match minus the breaks and service time allowed. Thank you, USO! Congrats to both on making the semis, and stay strong and focused Carlos for the final.
CARLOS ALCARAZ is diamond raw that his coach strives to carve this jewel so that it is more beautiful, stronger and irresistible. Carlos Alcaraz will dominate world tennis for the next 10 years. He is only at the beginning of his ascent, get ready to live unforgettable evenings with this boy and his champagne tennis. He has no equal to date, and above all, do not compare him to anyone because he is unique. 💪💪🍾🍾🍹🍹🔥🔥
I’ve been watching tennis for 50+ years and let me just say that this is tennis skill at a VERY high level. One thing Frances could learn is when he’s way out of position, don’t hit it with so much pace-hit more of a floater to give himself time to get back in position. The reaction time of Alcaraz combined with such magical racquet skill is almost otherworldly.
ALCARAZ is simply the best tennis player at the moment. So funny to watch. Power, strength, amazing rallies.... And he is only 19. A Federer/Djokovic/Nadal mix. As a tennis fan, I hope he stays out there for years!!!
Tiafoe could take the match if he were more consistend with his serve. He has an amazing forehand as well. The thing is Alcaraz keeps improving tournament after tournament. At his current level he can win everything but he keeps growing, and that's scary.
Tiafoe looked both mentally and physically exhausted in the final set. He also had a dip in performance in the third set. With experience, and possibly more physical conditioning, Tiafoe will be a challenger for every grand slam, except perhaps the Paris clay.
@@MrClebophd I Agree, those are the main reasons why his serve fell of a cliff. You don't forget how to serve. He even went down to a 20% first services, which is totally unacceptable for a pro player. Despite that, he has de quality and tools to win, for sure.
I think both sides has learned many things in this encounter. IMO should be chosen as one of classic matches in US Open. I like Tiafoe's return game against Alcaraz's serve as his return response time is short as he stands nearer to front, perhaps Tiafoe can read Alcaraz's serve well. As usual Alcaraz presented athletic nature and great defense, and seems Alcaraz made some favorable mind progress on the pressure of the crowd, although still made some errors during some crucial points. So many winning points from both sides. I can say either side deserved the win. Quite a match.
Oh Alcaraz...love the guy and his game is huge. The next big thing. He just NEEDS to convert more break points and more efficiently. I know that is a lot to ask and he is only 19, but plz bring your A-game tomorrow!
Yep! I think this is the last major improvement left for him along with a more consistent first serve and a better adaptation to grass courts for Wimbledon. He just needs to not overthink it and not get cute on some of these break points. Improve the shot selection and maintain focus better on the crucial points, and play with more margin of error when necessary. He doesn’t have to go for 100% all the time on those shots that would have been a winner to earn him a successful break of serve. Once he figures that out, and just goes for 80% to avoid the unforced error and bag a crucial winner, it’s going to be scary to play against him. I think it will all come together with time and we’ll see something even more special than what we’re seeing now, in 2-3 years when he’s 21/22 and entering his prime.
@@Alboravin I feel like he should keep playing those low percentage shots, just like federer did throughout his career; that’s in part what made his game so beautiful.
What about Sinner? He appeared to me the only player right now that can challenge Alcaraz of all the players out there now. He almost won but for Alcaraz's mental strength and self-belief
Alcaraz is himself, not any hybrid of the Big 3. He has completely unique characteristics like the abundance of use of the drop shots (no Big 3 player uses the drop shot as much as Alcaraz). Yeah in some aspects he may remember the Big 3 (defense and mental strength of Nadal, powerful strkes and aggresive game of Federer, flexibility of Novak, etc.) but he has unique characteristics.
Once in a generation talent. His backhand is different from Djokovic but his sliding BH crosscourt passes on clay, once on grass is eerily reminiscent of Novak. His grip is semi western, more in the Nadal mold and forehand has more topspin, but when he flattens it out definitely looks like Federer. But I also think he attacks the net more than Federer does. Definitely more natural than Roger was at 19. His touch on drop shots and lobs though is surreal. Can't teach this. It's a gift. Plus he is an incredible athlete.
This should be the final instead of SF. This match was like a sparkling bottle of Veuve Clicquot, with corks flying all over the place., other-worldly "gets", tactics and strategy beyond the big hitting, and dazzling footwork and speed. A high-calibre showcase for the sport.
Frances tried his best, but in the end Alcaraz had more athleticism and hit with more margins than Frances. What could Frances had done better? For one, the first serve % at 47% is much too low and I wonder what would have been the score line had the first serve % been 60% with the 70% points won on first serve being maintained. This is only a what if.
Con respeto a Alcaraz tengo que reconocer el poder de empezar a tope y Tíafoe celebra el hecho de hacer un punto a este Chico de 19 años. Creo que ya se el desenlace del partido🎉
Carlos Alcaraz, He play like Stefan Edberg. He is the one Rob Laver, who will win Grand Slam(Australia, French, Wimbledon, and US open in one calendar).
If Djokovic doesn’t manage to get to the finals this year of 2023, I would really love to watch a final with these two again since they both are in different brackets
both sets won by The American were Alcaraz errors but the American celebrates like a he made it , 5th set was the real one , well done amazing game by Alcaraz . loved Carlitos face at minute 6:54
Everyone loves Alcaraz's insance power hitting but what really impressed was his defense towards the end Tiafoe was not getting any free pionts hit a 130 mph serve a miassive and a deft drop-voley, for only Alcareaz to come screeching tin ofhr the pass of how to be in a hard-cord match. hard-match for Alacaraz the in terms of power hitting. Power hitting of things. Things that issue of the old issue.
Alcaraz might be impressive, but it wasn't with ease he reached the final. Several 5 sets matches that could have gone either way goes to show he has a long way to go to be a dominant force. A Sampras, Federer or Nadal at their peak would have dismissed a Tiafoe or Sinner in straight sets. He's only 19, so let's hope he does indeed have a long way to go and lots of room for improvement. Tennis hasn't had a new Nadal or Federer in 20 years!! The new gen has been boring to watch, so let's hope we get Alcaraz and the emergence of a true rival in the next couple years, that we haven't heard of yet.
@January, Myself being a Rafa fan, at 36 there is no way to keep up physically with these younger guys anymore. He has done more than enough for the sport and should hang his racket for the sake of his health.

Thats not correct. Some points have not been shown! 😳
No it isn't, genius
Every shot of Carlos is effortless. As if the Raquel is an extension of his arm. And his wicked dropshots?
41 minutes! US Open raising the bar for tennis highlights 🙌
The one vs Sinner is 45 mins 😁
I mean it is called 'Extended Highlights' for a reason
It shows the quality of this match and the sinner match that the extended highlights were so long.

6:38 is just so unbelievable how Alcaraz won that point pure class
ALCARAZ is simply the best tennis player at the moment. So funny to watch.
Power, strength, amazing rallies.... And he is only 19.
A Federer/Djokovic/Nadal mix.
As a tennis fan, I hope he stays out there for years!!!
12:24 how are people not realizing how incredible this is
People DO realize that. Did you not hear the roar?
@@Birdylockso I think he means that point should be in more highlight videos, I noticed it was kinda forgotten
@@teqii There were simply way too many...😂 and it ended with an unforced error by Tiafoe, which was a bit anticlimactic.
@@Birdylockso yeah but this was the best hands down
It's a highlight, but tbh we've seen way more incredible stuff from the big 3.

It was the same with Sinner. Had he served better he would have won in 4 sets
@@patrizioorru772 And had Alcaraz served better he would have won in 3 (remember Alcaraz was serving for the 2-0 lead and Sinner broke him).
@@levronyames6680 Don't forget that Sinner was way ahead in the second set so don't make it sound like it was a one sided match!
6:40 Just Insane Defending by Alcaraz
The lob accuracy hits by that kid were ridiculous. They both played phenomenal rallies. Carlos Alcaraz remind me of Michael Chang.
Insane 4th set from Tiafoe

Alcaraz smashed him in the last set.Great match.
Surprised he didn't beat him in straight sets
One break in the last set is not a smash.
@@ig6894 you mean 2 breaks?
Tiafoe put up a far better fight against Alcaraz than Ruud (and I like Ruud's style of play and sportsmanship). I don't know about Sinner tho...
What about Sinner? He appeared to me the only player right now that can challenge Alcaraz of all the players out there now. He almost won but for Alcaraz's mental strength and self-belief
Depends on how you look at it, I mean Ruud did win a set 6-2, and Tiafoe got breadsticked in a set
Tiafoe is strong & solid. Alcaraz is more agile & has more stamina than Tiafoe, & that makes him a well rounded player.
NICE SPEED, AGILITY, AND POWER! CONGRATS!
Frances remarkably improved from just a year ago. He can be well pleased with his progress.
tiafoe is great, such a coool guy, parents from sierra leone, pure working class...
maybe but he wasnt a cool guy when he almost smash the ball on Alcaraz's head😟
Tiafoe is anything but working class
@@robinsoncruise2228 Said a nobody. Are you a top 20 in the world in any discipline? Tiafoe worked hard to have this level and being a top 20 player.
Maç,adeta bir aksiyon filmi gibi,full heyecan,.. BAYILDIM 👍👍👍👍👍🌷
Carlos practically is this the Federer/Nadal hybrid and got a dose of Delpotro power
I'd also add Djoker's flexibility, clutchness, and return ability

Hope Alcaraz stays humble and not let it go to his head.
Happy for Alcaraz but gotta give credit to the amazing display from tiafoe, both should have won this match
Alcaraz is amazing
Que lindo abrazó🎉 felicidades para ambos que buenos competidores excelente juego lluvia de bendiciones en muchos éxitos😘❤🤗🎉🇩🇴
I'm sure it was the camera angle and shutter speed but @0:32. sure looked out. Great match by two amazing athletes.
That ball definitely looks out, Hawkeye is weird
I hope he keeps doing great and entertain the people. He is an amazing player.

Alcaraz is a class act for sure!! I'm rooting for Tiafoe though I hope he improves his serving.
Wow 🤩
That was incredible!

This is the most active UA-cam channel of the four grand slams. The next is Australian Open TV.
Carlos Alcaraz, He play like Stefan Edberg. He is the one Rob Laver, who will win Grand Slam(Australia, French, Wimbledon, and US open in one calendar).
If Djokovic doesn’t manage to get to the finals this year of 2023, I would really love to watch a final with these two again since they both are in different brackets
I see a healthy rivalry forming
Great match. Well done guys. 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
Indeed. Bless up!
14:50 hitting the ball toawrds the head....whithout an apologize either!!
20:49 point of the match. Such an incredible and unforgettable performance from Tiafoe
Incredibile livello di gioco assurdoooo
By the fifth set, Alcaraz is paying as hard as if it was the first set, meanwhile Tiafoe is so tired and can't keep up
So great!!
What an awesome match.
Outplayed, outclassed and outperformed
Outstanding! A new era beginning?
both sets won by The American were Alcaraz errors but the American celebrates like a he made it , 5th set was the real one , well done amazing game by Alcaraz . loved Carlitos face at minute 6:54
Can you also post the full match between Alcaraz & Tiafoe ?
Amazing match
6:39 was a next evolution level point. Bonkers
😭😭 “I’m just tryin, I’m just trying to eat a salad can you just let..” 4:54

I agree!
“I’m just trying to eat a salad” 🤣 what? 4:54
4:55 “I’m just trying to eat a salad.”
No wonder all the ladies love him ❤️
The woman on the radio at 4:56 really really just trying to eat her salad 🤣🤣🤣
Nobody’s gonna talk about their matching attire? 😁
Tiafoe gave up on 5th set too tired probably
*gave up in the 5th set.
Alcaraz is just too much for these young generation. If he plays like this noone gonna stop him, except Nole.
Give up in 4th set
