Quite the final going on Alcaraz vs Musetti. Musetti won 1st set 6-4, and appeared to be the better player well into the 2nd. Carlos really kept fighting, as is his way. Musetti serving for the match at 5-4, on a key point, Carlos hits a drop shot that double bounced(confirmed by replay), but umpire missed the call and Musetti won the point. Carlos protested rightfully so to no avail. Musetti, who surely knee what he had done, did not do the right thing and took the point. I do not think Alcaraz would have done that. Carlos keeps fighting and got the break, got into a tiebreaker, and saved 3 match points before winning the tiebreaker. Justice was served. The are in a 3rd set now.

Level of play was extraordinary -- if a bit uneven.Originally posted by arturohernandez View Post
For your entertainment, real time tweets were filled with "Musetti's going to have psychological scars forever after blowing those 5 champsionship points". Actually, lasted about 5 minutes, then he won the third set <g>.
No grinderball in that match. Those two playing each other redefine "Full Court" tennis to mean "from the exit to the locker room to the opposite net post".
