• US Open 2026: Alcaraz faces a tough challenge!

    From Kalevi Kolttonen@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, September 06, 2026 12:07:54
    Hello!

    Okay, I am sad that I am going to miss the Shelton
    vs Tsitsipas match as it airs too late in Finland.
    I have to get up early on Monday.

    But I should be able to watch Alcaraz vs Paul. I
    think this could prove to be a tough challenge for
    Alcaraz. Tommy Paul is a pretty solid player and
    on a good day, might be very hard to beat!

    It turns out that Tommy Paul did not play a
    particularly bad match, but Alcaraz was in a good
    form. I had expected that Carlitos would struggle
    more after being absent from something like four
    months and having no match experience lately.

    Carlitos is really talented, it was almost like
    he had had no break at all. He continued where he
    left in April, it was a pretty straightforward
    straight sets win for Alcaraz.

    Like I have said, I usually avoid making predictions
    but I have to guess that Alcaraz will take the
    whole tournament this year. Zverev certainly
    cannot match the quality Alcaraz showed today
    against Tommy Paul.

    Yeah, I agree. Right now it's Alcaraz's slam to lose.

    Fritz blew his last chance, IMHO
