Every rally is 20 + shots....and the court is sort of medium-paced...Alcaraz will do well here then...

That's what Djokovic likes too usually. Anyway I think it's also because Prizmic's style of play.

I'm finding the shorts on the men are definitely a bit tighter than usual, no complaint here.

impressive for her first match in a year or so. I didn't recognize her, actually. The face close-up, yes. From behind serving, not a glimmer.

In other words a typical Krejcikova match.martini4me wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 3:47 am Krejcikova really had to struggle to defeat the Japanese wild card in 2:26. A lot of kvetching and back-and-forth with her coach.

I only saw the end when Alycia was "smacking return winners" and wondered if she had played like that the entire match.nelslus wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 6:21 am Re: Alycia's "win" today.....SO, at 4-4 in the third, one of the multiple deuces....of all things, Snigur appeared to be crying. I mean, sure, after John and I had been forever watching Alycia alternating break point aces with random double faults, errors into the bottom of the net, shrieking winners, and genuflecting to the Almighty, we wanted to cry, too. Nevertheless.....once Alycia crawled through that game, Snigur finished herself off. Serving with such a lack of pace that would have made Frankie Durr blush (google/wiki her), even Alycia was forced into smacking return winners, thus ending this atrocity. WHAT a treat!!!!!
Thanks for the recap.

Must be a new cameraperson working the Shelton Agut match, they just zoomed in on Agut's feet apparently not knowing that tennis players feet are not something to be looked at.
