Jarry just won the 1st set tiebreak 7-2.
It's surprising, maybe - Jarry is currently ranked #139 - but it's not shocking, given that Jarry is from Chile, and likely learned his tennis on the red clay.

Jarry used his height well throughout the first set. He also kept up an aggressive pace and didn't give Carlitos time to settle in. That shot near the end of the first set where Alcaraz hit a lob and Jarry just reached up and flicked it across the net. I hope someone posts video of that point.

I think that was called 'not up' by the chair umpire when Alcaraz reached for it - and that's why Jarry just casually flicked it.

Alcaraz body language right now says he'll be making that long flight to Acapulco.

Jarry's chances to the final are quickly going down the toilet with losing that 2nd set. He really needed to pull this match out in straight sets in my opinion. I think Alcaraz is going to roll in this 3rd set now.

Alcaraz had the trainer out, and he looked a bit pouty at one point but it looks like I'm going to have to learn his on court moods. He served Jarry a bagel in the third set.

To me even with getting the trainer out to massage his calf muscle, going into the 3rd set Alcaraz had the advantage going in. Once that last game in the 2nd set was lost for Jarry and it didn't go into a tiebreaker he looked cooked. He looked like it was an all out tiebreaker win in the 2nd set and a match win for him or he was toast. He ended up toast or shall I say a bagel.

Jarry was highly touted a few years ago. Injuries then hit. He is a solid player, that has had a bit of bad luck lately.

I really think if Jarry would have gotten into the 2nd set tiebreaker he would have had a decent chance of winning the match. His service game is pretty good.

Yes, Jarry was talked about as having potential a few years ago, much like another tall player, Jerzy Janowicz, a few years earlier.
Things never really panned out for either of them, though.

The little I have seen of Jarry, I don't think he is that bad at all. I don't think he is a John Isner who is really a one dimensional player, but I can see Jarry playing the spoiler every so often in a tournament.

Indeed. He killed me at the Aussie this year (beat Kekmanovic easily).
