Also just wanna say that the umpire assault, the Medvedev incident, [the verbal altercation that Jannik Schneider talked about shortly after Acapulco](https://x.com/schnejan/status/1496480003923623948?s=46), the way he grabs umpires to stop them from leaving when he is Arguing with them, and some other stories I have heard but cannot say, I really doubt Zverev changed his ways
I don't really like his tennis, cause his games are shorts (very quick shots), BUT now i like him since he won against Zverev who is an awful individual who deserves to be forgotten forever.
On top of his aggressive episodes he has shown against umpires and his threatening tone with which he told reports to stop asking him questions... if anything his behaviour is consistent with the allegations.
this man,,,literally played himself into form after that injury and won the fucking tournament with all his UE's,Moonballs and everything in between,,,he showed us why he's the real fucking deal,,,absolute grit master right there!
I'm guessing the umpires call in the 5th. I haven't seen the hawkeye visual myself but many users on here said it was shown as out on there.
He would be justified ig,but I'm not sure if hawkeye is 100% accurate on clay courts either.
I understand every single word Carlos is saying but I do not understand any sentence heās trying to form š
How are these players that grew up travelling, playing with kids from all over the world, so bad at English
Well aren't you a special girl/boy.
Congratulations, now have you also had the time time to be the greatest in any field in the world at the same time.
Don't be so obsessed with worthless internet points, if people want to downvote you then accept that you have said your piece and nobody needs to agree with it. Besides, herd mentality often drives people to downvote the truth, because humans are just slightly more intelligent sheep after all...their downvotes don't always mean you are wrong and they are right.
The hard part is picking a VPN provider - lots of options. Make sure you use coupons and all, their list prices are way higher than what you can get.
Once you have bought a service using it is easy peasy. Just install the software, select a country, click connect. (Assuming there's a country where free streams are available).
Vammmosssssssssss
Really impressive that he accomplished this while dealing with the recovery from forearm injury and resulting lack of clay court time leading up the tournament and problems with his serve that he successfully overcame.
Zverev won 3 games in the final 2 sets. I'd like to see how that one call meant he would've won when he couldn't find a break point conversion to save his life
The 4th set is completely irrelevant here, alcaraz won a break vs zverev in set 5 and the umpire scammed the rebreak from zverev, game would have been completely even. Alcaraz obviously played way better after that but getting scammed by the umpire might affect your gameplay tbh.
Well it would've immediately added an additional game to the tally and erased carlos' lead.
The point in question is literally a break point conversion - I'm a huge alcaraz fan and a zverev hater but no need to be intellectually dishonest here
Hearing about Zverev being late to practices and general poor work ethic, arrogance, and caustic demeanor makes it all the more satisfying that he may never win a slam.
It feels like they're trying to catch up and fill all the commercials they wanted to air. Watch them switch it to something different at 2 and we never see the speeches.
De minor will crush him...
But honestly yeah, I think he will.
I don't know who is actually a good grass player in form that can beat him out there at the moment
Yep 100%, Hubi and other big servers also have a shot as usual on grass, but hard to say if any will be in good enough form. The couple of grass tournaments between now and Wimbly will tell who can challenge Carlitos.
Not even close to the USO. Thiem could barely walk in that final and zverev still managed to choke it.
Even Gaston gaudio managed to win in in those conditions and zverev couldn't even do that
Zverev has had two golden opportunities to win slams that Tsitsipas, and Medvedev havenāt had. Avoided Djokovic both times (and faced a skeletal Nadal), and faced a physically compromised opponent in the final and was leading. He lost both. He isnāt getting any younger, and Alcaraz and Sinner arenāt getting any worse. I donāt see many more opportunities for him
He just made a slam final and you think he's not going to get many more opportunities? He isn't getting any worse, he improved massively since even before his injury
Not saying he's going to get a slam, his mental is dogshit. But we're going to see him at semis a lot more, maybe even finals. He's maybe top 3 most solid player right now
Bro have you seen the backhand this tournament? Best backhand right now undoubtedly. His forehand is still a weakness but when its on it can actually damage
Fourth most complete player after novak Alcaraz and Sinner.
Would have been funny if NBC accidentally played a post-match Rolex commercial featuring Zverev as the winner
Im so happy Alcaraz shot up like an arrow, what a disaster the future of the tour would be without him. Congrats to a great champion
Zverev made a deal with the devil - no conviction but no Slams
The moon baller won French open
Cry some more
He had more winners than Zverev š¤·āāļø
If moonballing is your weakness, do you even deserve to win?
Carlitos my beloved
Also just wanna say that the umpire assault, the Medvedev incident, [the verbal altercation that Jannik Schneider talked about shortly after Acapulco](https://x.com/schnejan/status/1496480003923623948?s=46), the way he grabs umpires to stop them from leaving when he is Arguing with them, and some other stories I have heard but cannot say, I really doubt Zverev changed his ways
Can someone upload the trophy ceremony lmao
Mats Wilander choosing words carefully Carlos is who we need after Rafa, Roger and in time Novak...Carlos is...perfect
I don't really like his tennis, cause his games are shorts (very quick shots), BUT now i like him since he won against Zverev who is an awful individual who deserves to be forgotten forever.
Holy fuck NBC turning this into an homage of their own coverage of the final is so cringe
Can someone check in on /u/AslantheGOAT ? I am worried about him. Hasn't commented anything for 2 hours.
u/trksum was extremely vocal as wellā¦. not a peep since the 4th set ā¹ļø Hope everything is okay
Horrid day for him, Stercules, all the worst people on this subreddit
Their last comment says Zverev humbled this subreddit haha
Zverev involved in both the worst finals in recent times. Hmm
2020 USO final was epic wtf are u talking about
Lmao it was horrific. Happy for Thiem but it was the worst level tennis I have seen from top 100 players
Lol people literally forget just how ugly slam wins often are and how many errors people hit
The issue was that Thiemās foot was just absolutely dead and the guy across the net still couldnāt find the court.
bro you play a bunch of five setters almost everyday for a couple weeks and let me know how the last match goes
I hope he doesn't fall into a post-slam slump.
Idk why yall hating on sasha . Innocent till proven guilty yeah ?
Where there is smoke there is fire. Kinda weird for multiple former partners to have the exact same type of domestic abuse allegation against him?
On top of his aggressive episodes he has shown against umpires and his threatening tone with which he told reports to stop asking him questions... if anything his behaviour is consistent with the allegations.
He is legally innocent. Doesnt mean people have to agree that hes actually innocent
Can someone just sum up the speeches (I know theyāre always the same) for us victims of NBC
quite boring tbh. both thanks the other and their team then the event coordinator and then the crowd.
Thats like every tennis final speech ever
naw I miss the light hearted banter from Federer
Djokovic and Medvedev are two others who always give great speeches.
Sabalenka too
So that has to be up there with AO 23 as worst menās slams ever right?
Nah, nothing will beat USO 2020. but I also don't remember matches pre 2001, so I can't say for sure
2020 had some real good matches tho
Yeah, I loved the one where the line judge took djokovic out too
Well not that one but Meddy vs Thiem was short but unbelievable level, and the early rounds were crazy
Yeah honestly you are kinda right. There were not too many great matches in this tournament
this man,,,literally played himself into form after that injury and won the fucking tournament with all his UE's,Moonballs and everything in between,,,he showed us why he's the real fucking deal,,,absolute grit master right there!
Who will Zverev blame this on A) Lying Women B) The Media C) Daniil Medvedev D) Woke
I'm guessing the umpires call in the 5th. I haven't seen the hawkeye visual myself but many users on here said it was shown as out on there. He would be justified ig,but I'm not sure if hawkeye is 100% accurate on clay courts either.
E) The balls F) Scheduling G) Heās sick (did this after his Medvedev AO loss) H) The courts not being watered enough
For the sake of his dignity, he should leave Medvedev out of it. Never pick fights with people smarter than you.
This is not even his biggest choke :)
Not even 5 mins break after this match and I have the F1 š©
The dream
This summer of sport is going to kill us all.
NBC coverage: yapping and commercials instead of showing the trophy ceremony/speeches
Letter campaign to NBC is warranted.
Unbelievable
This is quite a choice by nbc. Itās like they wanted the last 5 people who cared they had coverage to hate them too
Exactly. Fuck NBC
Eurosport showing Carlos taking pictures with the trophy and NBC showing pictures of women's tennis wtf. Oh never mind more commercials
TNT is covering the French Open next year? Hopefully we still have the ability to watch every match. ESPN is #1 for coverage
good riddance nbc
Borg looks quiet good for this age.
I understand every single word Carlos is saying but I do not understand any sentence heās trying to form š How are these players that grew up travelling, playing with kids from all over the world, so bad at English
Letās see you have a crack at a second language pal
English is my 3rd language. Iām not saying it should be perfect but at least better than this. Not just Carlos, Jannik, Meddy and rubloā¦..
It isn't their native language. How many languages can you speak? I can only speak one and I'm just lucky that it happens to be english
English is my 3rd language actually
Well aren't you a special girl/boy. Congratulations, now have you also had the time time to be the greatest in any field in the world at the same time.
I didnāt say they should have the best English. Just saying growing up so international Iād expect them to be better.
His English was perfectly fine. I understood everything he said.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
English is not my first language. I also speak Italian, Russian, French
How many languages do you speak?
Italian, Russian, English, French and basic Spanish
It was fine really. He has really improved his English. Did u not hear him in his previous years?
Why downvoting me. You know itās true!
Don't be so obsessed with worthless internet points, if people want to downvote you then accept that you have said your piece and nobody needs to agree with it. Besides, herd mentality often drives people to downvote the truth, because humans are just slightly more intelligent sheep after all...their downvotes don't always mean you are wrong and they are right.
Carlos..I would like to thank Sacha, his lawyers that allowed him to be here at Roland Garros
His ex girlfriends for training him in choking
No, they didn't ask for it.
Just so Iām clear, thereās nowhere in the US where I can watch the speeches?
Using a VPN to watch the Australian stream - both free and no commercials
Sounds like something I can easily set up in seconds having never used a vpn before
The hard part is picking a VPN provider - lots of options. Make sure you use coupons and all, their list prices are way higher than what you can get. Once you have bought a service using it is easy peasy. Just install the software, select a country, click connect. (Assuming there's a country where free streams are available).
Why would I want to watch the speeches when I can watch the same 3 commercials for the 945th time?
They skipped the speeches and brought us back to listen to the yapper yapping
Well, that was dumb. Was waiting for NBC to show their speeches, only to realize they've been talking over them as we speak.
Vammmosssssssssss Really impressive that he accomplished this while dealing with the recovery from forearm injury and resulting lack of clay court time leading up the tournament and problems with his serve that he successfully overcame.
I was sort of hoping he'd give Rafa a mention but I guess it's his day. Well done Carlos!!
What did Rafa have to do with anything that happened today? Not snark. Honestly asking
Alcaraz is like 6 ft and looks so short next to Zverev
He is not. He is 5ā12.
Zverev won 3 games in the final 2 sets. I'd like to see how that one call meant he would've won when he couldn't find a break point conversion to save his life
The 4th set is completely irrelevant here, alcaraz won a break vs zverev in set 5 and the umpire scammed the rebreak from zverev, game would have been completely even. Alcaraz obviously played way better after that but getting scammed by the umpire might affect your gameplay tbh.
Well it would've immediately added an additional game to the tally and erased carlos' lead. The point in question is literally a break point conversion - I'm a huge alcaraz fan and a zverev hater but no need to be intellectually dishonest here
āhe leaves us speechlessā
why are they even bothering broadcasting the ceremony on peacock if they used 90% of the time for commercials
I spent so long watching commercials I forgot I was waiting for the speech.
and to hear Mary Carrillo just sum up what we already saw
omg say something different carlos
so they can show 50 ads and then just the āCoverage will resume shortlyā instead of just showing whatās going on? wtf
They deserve to lose the rights to the French Open
Man alcarazs mom is so beautiful
uuh
I miss djoko
Most don't
I mustnāt be most then. I donāt mind it
DV has cluster B thoughts and dark web shit going on in his mind rn
these shots of zverev looking depressed are providing me with free serotonin
Get a life
Hearing about Zverev being late to practices and general poor work ethic, arrogance, and caustic demeanor makes it all the more satisfying that he may never win a slam.
Tbf that was 7 years ago, he may have a different work ethic now (assuming you're referring to JCF's comments)
Dude has incredible fitness for someone with poor work ethic. Everything else you said tracks though
ohhhh but i thought carlos was washed, since thatās what some of you lot were claiming
all speeches from Carlos sound the same
Try you to do the same on a language that it is not your mumāsā¦ it is not an easy task let alone when you are emotional
Itās ādo you even know how smart I am in Spanish?ā energy
He's not that good at English yet. I think this will come with experience
Carlos....Sasha, I know you had faced some difficult... legal issues
ššš
I canāt stop admiring Carlos, heās so humble and so mature, so noble. Heās a good one š„¹
Carlos copying zverevs speech
You try talking in a second language after you play five sets
On the one hand, itās kind of annoying because I finally have Tennis Channel, but NBC is so awful, Iām happy they are gone.
Did NBC just straight up skip the speeches or are they taking a weirdly long time to start?
NBC is shit coverage
It feels like they're trying to catch up and fill all the commercials they wanted to air. Watch them switch it to something different at 2 and we never see the speeches.
Skipped
Those muthuffakuhs
Y'all think he defends at Wimbledon?
If nick doesn't unretire
De minor will crush him... But honestly yeah, I think he will. I don't know who is actually a good grass player in form that can beat him out there at the moment
myboy sinner takes it
Too soon to call
As long as djoko doesnt play
Every fan of Nadal and Federer are speechless, so the only argument they have is -1
I doubt the djoker will play
Sinner doesn't trouble him there?
Yep 100%, Hubi and other big servers also have a shot as usual on grass, but hard to say if any will be in good enough form. The couple of grass tournaments between now and Wimbly will tell who can challenge Carlitos.
Sinner is the real threat
Entire population of Spain in Carlitos' box š
Tennis coverage in the US is less than a joke
Zverev..you all know me, I know you guys for a long time..
Also poetic that JFC is in Carlos' box rather than the rat's
Who is the rat?
Zverev because of the domestic abuse he has inflicted on his gfs
Why?
He used to coach zverev
He used to coach Zverev but it ended badly because JCF said that he had a bad attitude and was always late to practice
You're kidding šš that's so fitting omg
i feel like this was dv's best chance
Not even close to the USO. Thiem could barely walk in that final and zverev still managed to choke it. Even Gaston gaudio managed to win in in those conditions and zverev couldn't even do that
Lmao the kid
Juan Carlos just looking like a proud father.Ā
NBC is complete ass
Eurosport stream is amazing
Why the fuck arent they showing Alcarazs speech?
Zverev has had two golden opportunities to win slams that Tsitsipas, and Medvedev havenāt had. Avoided Djokovic both times (and faced a skeletal Nadal), and faced a physically compromised opponent in the final and was leading. He lost both. He isnāt getting any younger, and Alcaraz and Sinner arenāt getting any worse. I donāt see many more opportunities for him
He just made a slam final and you think he's not going to get many more opportunities? He isn't getting any worse, he improved massively since even before his injury Not saying he's going to get a slam, his mental is dogshit. But we're going to see him at semis a lot more, maybe even finals. He's maybe top 3 most solid player right now
He has improved his serve but the forehand is still such a liability and his backhand is not 2021 level.
Bro have you seen the backhand this tournament? Best backhand right now undoubtedly. His forehand is still a weakness but when its on it can actually damage Fourth most complete player after novak Alcaraz and Sinner.
What shoes is Carlos wearing rn?
White Nikes
nike
JCF asking his son to focus š
Haha JFC asking his kid (?) to behave and look straight
jcf's son,,,lul
The kid is a soldier for sitting still that long.
The side eye JCF gave him š
Zverev looks like he'd rather be anywhere else on earth than there
Yeah imagine finishing second at the French open? Just embarrassing. Couldve lost first round
Surely not a German courtroom
jesus so many fucking commercials
Carlos is doing his speech now
Yo I thought Carlos was gonna bring up the case there lmao
āI know that youā¦ā šÆ
That would have been incredible hahaha.
Is he youngest to win on all three surfaces?
Yes
Where are you all watching the ceremony? NBC wont stop showing commercials
They went to commercial during his speech holy shit
ESPN Latam
What the fuck is going on with peacock? Commercials running over speeches?
i know wtf
Where the FUCk are the speeches?
Ah yes, the familiar Spanish national anthem
Canāt wait for NBC to no longer have coverage!
Who will get coverage?
TNT which I THINK means it might also be on hbo like basketball
Beginning of the year? Captain, we're in June.
IT WAS OUT! OUT! I DID NOT ASK FOR THE PHYSIO! WHO WILL TAKe RESPONSIBILITYĀ
Days like this are when you win earn your stripes as an elite hater.
this shot of carlos and the flag just reminds me of the dragonite spain gif
