He has all the talent, its joyful to watch, its a great guy on and off the court, and he has the mentality of a true champion. We are so lucky to witness the begining of Alcaraz legacy.
Crazy thing is that Alcaraz has never lost a grand slam match when up either 2-0 or 2-1. If anyone wants to beat Alcaraz in a match, they better not let him get that lead or it is basically over for them.
Alcaraz never loses in 3 or 5 sets since he became a top player. All his losses are in 4 sets and they usually follow the same pattern, opponent wins the first two sets, Alcaraz wins the 3rd set and the opponent closes it out in 4 sets.
Absolutely love Carlos and Sinner!! But I have a very special place for Carlos in my heart!! I liked him very much the second I saw him play!! ❤❤.. Vamos!!!
I stopped watching tennis back in 1995. I wish I hadn’t. Anyway, 3 years ago I decided to give it another try. It was during Indian Wells, and Carlitos was around 20 in the world. I watched him play, and was hooked back in the game. Now I watch almost every ATP 500 and above and a lot of WTA too. He brings so much joy, and so much incredible play to the game, that there is never a boring match with him.
The moment he reduces the unforced errors he will be almost unbeatable . At the moment what truly separates this guy from the pack is the astonishing record on long 5 set matches , virtually he wins them all . Let's hope for a good autumn training schedule that will allow him to reach the Australian open on peak condition to achieve the mind blowing record of a career Grand slam at the age of 21
He's definitely been improving in this metric. Most matches this tournament he was hitting nearly double the winners compared to errors. I think his forearm injury forcing him to reign it in a little bit might've been the best thing that could've happened to him
@@iamheful Sinner won the AO this year, even if Alcaraz were to win UO and next AO that wouldn't be a calendar slam... He'd still win all majors consecutively, but over two calendar years...
Goodness!!! This video is like a PHD thesis in tennis analysis - just 100x more fun. Thank you - I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I truly appreciate your effort with this.
@iannovak5223 lol I started watching tennis in 2005 my friend. However my point was that djokovic is 1 in a billion, and you're suggesting that sinner might surprise us... there's very little chance of that happening.
Firstly, thank you for this content, specially for the great wimbledon recap on the first half of the video. I respectfully disagree with the analysis on the second half of the video. I believe there is an easier storyline that explains Carlos's dominance in the finals, without so much "stats picking": Djoko net strategy didn't work out, and while he insisted on that strategy for almost 2 whole sets, Carlos developed a huge lead. After Djoko adapted, Carlos was already winning by a large margin, had momentum, and more physicality - but the 3rd set was disputed nonetheless. Djoko had a bad knee and a defeating strategy (that he insisted on for too long). Carlos was whole and effective. All the stats you showed are not causes, but consequences of this scenario. That is only my opinion anyway, so take it with a considerable grain of salt! Thanks and have all a great day!
Carlos is looking ridiculously good in the best of 5s of grand slams but I wonder if he might struggle in the best of 3s during the Olympics since he has looked inconsistent throughout both the Roland Garros and Wimbledon but managing to get it together by the 4th or 5th set.
You could definately pull off Lajal's hairstyle. Maybe try on a wig for a couple of days and see how your friends and family react. But I genuinely believe that if you walk the walk, AND you talk the talk, you can absolutely wick the wick, jig the jig, and wig the wig!
Alcaraz has always been the outlier in this stat. The reason is that his shot making ability is good he doesn’t need to sustain an attack since he can usually get it done with just one or two shots. Add to that that his defense is so good that his opponents stay on attack longer since they will often struggle to finish the point.
As a fan of Carlitos and the new gen in general, I still think that the biggest reason for the Wimbledon result being what it was was Novak’s lack of playing ability. In the first two sets we saw absolutely zero body language and motivation- he just looked oddly flat and subdued. The third was slightly better and we saw glimpses of what could have been from Novak- at this point though, alcaraz was on a run and was locked in. If Novak wanted to win the match he needed to get into the zone MUCH earlier to catch alcaraz cold. Also, his knee made it so that his movement was hindered and he had to play a hyper aggressive style, going for unconvincing net approaches and risky redirection- in the end, this made it easy pickings for alcarz’s defence and athleticism.
Also, Novak had an easy as hell draw. He shouldn't even had gotten to the finals. Put someone like Med or Sinner on the semis and he wouldn't have made it.
Barring injuries Alcaraz has the potential to be among the legends of tennis, but in this world you can't take anything for granted. A new generation of athletic tennis players are on the horizon and everyone wants to be the best...
Different era so incomparable to the the big 4 from last era, unless the others step up he will be this era's GOAT, dude has insane grit especially Grand Slams where it matters.
The only thing I'd like to mention: Medvedev isn't really a young star anymore. He's 28 and I'd say he's more like an established top player (I get that he may be young compared to Rafa or Djokovic). Great video!
IT would have been cool If you showed us the beste Player for the Shot metric in each category Not only the average. Obviously carlitos is better then the average Player😉
Roger must be one happy man! I can only hope for one last miracle, maybe he can enter the Olympics with Stan, he should be been the one to enter Wimbledon itself- for a 9th Title! But his guardian angel saved him, that's why I will never understand why God didn't help him in Wimbledon 2019, then even if Novak got 8, he'd still be one ahead.
Without his stupid injuries he would have maybe won Australian 2022-2023 maybe beating djoko already so not cramping in Roland 2023 etc etc. Alcaraz could have been at 7 GS easy already
Pete Sampras is the last tennis player I like. I did no watch the era of the big 3 or 4. It is only now that I admire Carlos because at young age he is all over the court..
Alcaraz, if healthy, can easily break the slam's record, cause Djokovic was losing to Federer and Nadal early in his career, but Carlos' peak is absolutely untouchable at his peak for now (yes, Sinner cannot beat him if Alcaraz plays well).
Lets be honest. Ugo Humbert blew the easiest point ever on a crucial point that cost him the second set. Then he broke Alcaraz 7 of 8 serves. Alcaraz should have been out. Crazy thing is Alcaraz opponents didn't scout that match to see the winning tactic against the helpless Alcaraz. I guarantee Sinner's team took notice.
alcaraz was playing bad on those days against humbert. when alcaraz peaks no one can beat him. sinner needs to stop huffing and puffing if he wants to beat king carlos
Novak didnt save the championship points per say, Carlos just choked. He was 40-0 up, and wanted to win with a serve ace which never came, cos he kept messing it up.
obv new big three is Carlos, Jannik and...third is vacant, there are no other players like first two now also we need to select from the same generation who are 21-22 to be fully true

Please let us not deep dive into servebots, unless it is to demolish their idiotic approach (serve really hard and hope the ball never comes back because they never trained any of the other shots). I have watched tennis for 35 years and on my second day I was convinced clay is the only surface that matters, because it nullifies those guys and actual tennis can be seen.
he's getting old. if he goes up against Alcaraz or Sinner, those two will beat him consistently from now on. you can't beat Father Time, and Novak has done better than most in this regard. but it's pretty apparent now that Alcaraz and Sinner are better than him.
His top level is nowhere close to Alcaraz top level, it's that simple. If Alcaraz plays at highest level, the match will always be on his racquet, unless he makes a lot of UEs, which will happen often because of his aggressive game style, unlike Novaks bore me to death high percentage crap... 😂😂
It's crazy to see how difficult Alcaraz's draw was compared to Novak's.

He is unfocused sometimes, that's the reason
Very valid point. So, how do you measure a player: by best of 3 or best of 5? You know the answer. Too bad Olympics is best of 3.
Oh absolutely. That's why I'm not betting he will win the Olympics. Tbh, the Olympics could be anybody's game since its 3 sets.

7:42 This illustrates why the "in attack" stat is meaningless.
Attack can be initiated from anywhere on the court, not just a specified area like the stat presumes
Alcaraz has always been the outlier in this stat. The reason is that his shot making ability is good he doesn’t need to sustain an attack since he can usually get it done with just one or two shots. Add to that that his defense is so good that his opponents stay on attack longer since they will often struggle to finish the point.

Longevity should not be a criterion for the GOAT debate. Alcaraz should officially be the best player in history!
He's in my book... The only reason I watch tennis now is cause of Alcaraz. He makes tennis fun again, like Federer.
I believe that this channel will be extremely big soon enough.
You're so right: Carlos is a champion on and off the court. And he gives ME joy watching him play; thanks, Carlitos!
I would've loved to see a prime Andy Murray Vs Carlos match at Wimbledon, it's a real shame his prime was cut short
