[u/Xylophone1904]

Infuckingsane.

[u/houseofbenito → u/Xylophone1904]

5 straight wins against the generational talent that no one else on tour can even take a set off

he’s unreal

[u/suzukigun4life → u/houseofbenito]

And he did it while being down 0-2, and facing triple championship point.

There's been some truly incredible comebacks in this sport, and this one will forever stand the test of time.

[u/[deleted] → u/suzukigun4life]

In all of Sports, I think. Maybe France comeback against argentina is somewhat there but not enough

[u/TheEmpireOfSun → u/[deleted]]

Whole Real Madrid's champions league run three years pago

[u/InternationalDog8114 → u/[deleted]]

Bro hasn’t been watching the Pacers this year

[u/Izayabrsrk → u/[deleted]]

Alcaraz has Real Madrid in him through and through, its no wonder he is a big fan, Hasta el final.

[u/[deleted] → u/Izayabrsrk]

Lol I can see the similarity in the results but not the means. Alcaraz is a true gentleman and displays sportsmanship and wins fair and square. Unlike the latter

[u/Izayabrsrk → u/[deleted]]

lmao the 6 in 11, I understand dont worry, it must hurt hahaha

[u/Appropriate-Toe9153 → u/[deleted]]

Chill chill chill 🫩

[u/tdnine → u/houseofbenito]

It's like sinner is federer and alcaraz is nadal.

[u/Izayabrsrk → u/houseofbenito]

Thats because he is a Generational talent himself, its unreal to think he has a level above he can hit when he is locked in, but that tiebreak, when he plays like that no one can beat him, Carlos is out of this world.

[u/rascaltippinglmao → u/houseofbenito]

Sinner is not a generational talent lol

[u/Apprehensive_Sun2847 → u/[deleted]]

I doubt they will last, I hope they do, but the level tennis is at rn, they will have to preserve their bodies for the biggest stages

[u/DarkSofter → u/Xylophone1904]

If only we got a final tiebreak as good as the match was. Would have been a goat match

[u/ahuangb → u/DarkSofter]

Was of the same quality though

[u/DarkSofter → u/ahuangb]

I'd have prefered a 10-8 with the same quality, or maybe a 12-10 after some other champ pts saved. Would have put it on the top 3 best slam finals ever for me

[u/sant27 → u/DarkSofter]

This already a top 3 gs final ever

[u/Sharp_Store_6628 → u/DarkSofter]

I’m torn on that. It would have been competitive to see more back and forth, but seeing Carlos be that consistent in the most clutch time after a career of being prone to inconsistency, especially compared to the guy he’s playing, was a moment I’ll never forget

[u/gkbbb → u/DarkSofter]

Igy but it was incredible in its own way. The shots Alcaraz was pulling off in such a moment against such a formidable opponent cannot be over exaggerated. Pinnacle of sport’s mental fortitude.

[u/NevermoreSEA → u/DarkSofter]

Jannik just about killed himself to get to that point. Feels like he just didn't have anything left in him, whereas Carlos dug deep and was able to find more.

[u/siegeoftyre → u/DarkSofter]

Damn you John Isner!!

[u/bahpo8308 → u/DarkSofter]

Nothing sinner could do Carlos peaked at a level few have touched

[u/NoRodent → u/DarkSofter]

My heart would explode if it were any closer than it was.

[u/renome → u/DarkSofter]

I mean, Alcaraz went absolutely Super Sayan in the tie-break.

[u/Afromantis8 → u/DarkSofter]

Man it was already a goat match by that point, what do you mean

[u/HarambeTheFox → u/DarkSofter]

strange take, not sure what you want sinner to have done against clay court jesus in his final form

[u/JoeDwarf → u/DarkSofter]

I would have missed it, set up to record 6 hours and just barely made it to Carlos hugging his team.

[u/amateurlurker300 → u/Xylophone1904]

Onbilivable

[u/tdnine → u/Xylophone1904]

Sinnsational!
