Carlos clinches the first set. It was tight but you feel Carlos has a lot more game than Meddy. He's so quick...like a real sprinter. He could run away with the match if he finds an explosive run. When he finds his best he's just so good.

No doubt, Carlos is definitely the better tennis player of the 2.Originally posted by stotty View PostComment

Well he found that explosive run I thought he might. The bloke is absolutely deadly when he finds it....quite spectacular. I have never seen anyone move like Carlos for sheer explosive speed. He's just amazing to watch.StottyComment

Carlos head and shoulders above Meddy in the end. How lucky we are to have him (and Sinner) as the big three are bowing out...awesome.StottyComment

Sinner and demon are top shelf movers. Carlos as you say, probably the best ever.Originally posted by stotty View PostComment

Some of the balls he repeatedly retrieved against Meddy were unreal. He literally blanketed the court and it was like Meddy couldn't get the final ball past from him for love nor money. I think Roger and Novak are smoother movers but they don't have the sheer sprinter-like speed of Carlos. I have never seen anything quite like it.Originally posted by stroke View PostStottyComment

Prime Roger the smoothest, Novak the best hitting posture, Carlos the best mover. I would love to know Carlos' 40 time. To me, it looks like a 4.3.Comment

Given that Alcaraz has finally found wherever he misplaced his A game and made his first final since Cinco and gotten first title since Wimbledon, ATP/ TDI has some stats on how much his production fell in that period and how that compares to the ATP top 50. This is TDI's text via social media:
~~~~~~
In 2022, Alcaraz’s breakout season, he was the only player to feature in the top 5 of both the Conversion and Steal leaderboards This trend continued through to Wimbledon 2023 , but then, by Alcaraz standards, his execution in attack and defence dropped
At BNPPARIBASOPEN he was back in King Carlos mode, Top 5 in Conversion (3) & Steal (1)

Desert Sun: If they counted the bee swarm, they'd have broken half a million attendees !
"The tournament set a new attendance record with 493,440 during the two-week event, which ran from March 3-17. The most-attended day (40,805) and night sessions (15,483) of the tournament both took place on Saturday, March 9.
Also set an event record with the first $50 Hamburger Really.

Just for your amusement ... the subset of the bee swarm that took over Spyder Cam. Only 7 seconds at normal speed.
Supposed to be in a slow motion, but YT in its infinite wisdom decided to speed it up.
Suggest you pause, turn volume off (Crowd noise) make full screen,, and use gear icon to turn speed down to 25% and resolution to 4K (otherwise you can't see the little bees}.
Then imagine that cloud around Alcaraz, who got stung!
Joke on-site was that it was like the spider biting Spider Man -- gave Carlos back his super powers <g>
