Alcaraz now has more slam titles than the entire 90s

Also first man ever to win first 3 slams are 3 different surface.

Looking forward to the Olympics back here in a month!

Also a Stamps win on Friday night and an Elks lost yesterday. Pretty good weekend of sporting results.

Yeah, I didn't see the end of the match, but if I was going to grade Charlie's tennis today on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 6.5 (maybe a 7 if generous). In other words, Zverev had a golden opportunity for his first slam and pissed it away.

Zverev played a really good match and Alcarav didn't play no where near his best today. My favorite stat is Zverev is now 0-5 in sets when he has a chance to win a slam

I would say that Zverev played a really good match for three sets. Sets 4 and 5 (I just watched the last set that I PVR'ed) he played not to lose instead of trying to win (i.e. waiting for Alcaraz to make a mistake instead of taking ownership out there).

Yep he absolutely started pushing the ball like a coward even though it was clear that Carlos didn't have much legs left. Cabeza, Corazon, Cajones, the choker has none of them.

I should have clarified that Zverev played a good match for him. I don't think he can play much better than today. But He still completely collapsed as we all knew and hoped he would.

Also this is the 17th time a Spanish man has won the French Open since 2002
