I am from Norway and as you expect a huge Ruud fan, I really wished that he would win this game, I even put 25$ on Stake but its ok because eventho he lost I still think he played at a high level and he had the chance to win against Zverev which is already a good sign that Ruud is back in top form 😁

[pvp]

I'm so pleased to see Ruud playing some quality tennis again!

[tucker]

Great matches so far, Zverev is playing incredibly well. Ruud could very well make it into the semis also.

[strebier]

Zverev finally found his offensive forehand.

[ozzyakram]

I like how Zverev is coming to the net more often now

[jeunehomme_jun]

Casper is a true gentleman ! Whether he loses or wins, he always shows a great attitude. Nicest guy on tour with Grigor !

[anandbee]

Zverev finally playing like a champion.

[Antarès-wk]

Good to see Zverev back at his prime (with the weird grunts in addition😅) Rooting for him and looking forward to the expected final against Sinner 😁

[Ryvc-xy]

Zverev’s brother Mischa has really helped Zverev improve his volleys over the years. I remember when Mischa was one of the last few players who served and volley back in 2017.

[rohitbalakrishnan]

Zverev Ruud was top class until 4-3 in the second.

[miyazakizachary]

I told u. Zverev intensity is a world class. He gonna win his first grandslam. No doubt.

[nikhils]

Wow haven't seen Zverev hit his forehand this good in a long time ...

[mrks.-]

This beats zverevs 9.6 match rating lately. One of his most mature matches ever. Forehand backhand serving court coverage net play..
All 5*.. come on bring this trophy home to germany, you derserve it. Next step is a fckn GS...

2 separate points I'm noticing where Alcaraz is pulling in Rublev to put him in a bad position:
1:50 - Rublev hits a backhand (almost inside out) to Alcaraz's forehand and Alcaraz does a defensive forehand slice to slow down the pace to allow him to recover. This slice actually is pretty short, and Rublev has to step inside the baseline (no man's land). Since the ball is short with heavy amounts of backspin, hitting an offensive topspin shot is difficult, but Rublev still gits a great forehand. However, because he is inside the baseline, when Alcaraz returns with a deep forehand, Rublev is forced into an awkward shot: running backwards and has to hit an on-the-rise backhand against a loopy forehand from Alcaraz. This is pretty difficult to hit, even for pros like Rublev, so Rublev's following backhand at 1:55 is weak, allowing Alcaraz to capitalize on a high ball in the center of the court. This allowed Alcaraz to flatten out his forehand and also hit a wider angle, granting him a winner

A similar story goes for 2:11 - Alcaraz hits a short, low backhand slice to draw Rublev in. When Rublev returns the slice, he is drawn into the court as he backhand slices the ball back to Alcaraz forehand. Alcaraz knows Rublev is drawn into the court, and he hits a deep ball to force Rublev to backpedal and cover more ground. Running backwards is always harder than running forwards, and Alcaraz's forehand is not only deep but at a great angle, granting him another winner

Zverev vs. Alcaraz will be a game to watch

[rasheedahabdullah]

Wonderful and Congrats Zverev a job well done!👀🎾🙌💪👏👍🏽🤝

[Gruzditas]

Andrej Rublev despite the loss, he looked very strong. I would say one of the best performances lately. Carlos Alcaraz, come on, how it is possible to run all arround the court and win such points. That was crazy to watch :)

[JoannaWillis-ge]

Over the years, Zverev's brother Mischa has been a major contributor to his volley improvement. In 2017, Mischa was among the final players to serve and volley, as I recall.

[RLPguitar]

I like the intensive engaged and also emotional way how Rublev playing tennis and even in case of a close loss he is a sportsmanship guy with friendly gesture to his opponent. He thanks god with a crucifixion gesture also after losses. Great attitude 👍
