Technical Incompatibilities Amplify Tsitsipas’ Defeat to Alcaraz at Roland Garros 2023

All the technical incompatibilities that emerged in the previous four, all in favor of the Spaniard, emerged, amplified, in the ruinous defeat of Stefanos Tsitsipas, who without having either art or part leaves Philippe Chatrier after a dispute that lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes. Picking up the crumbs, except for an isolated flash of lucidity that leads him to at least play the tiebreak in the third set.

There is very little to comment, at times it almost seems like a joke. Too much exuberance of the number one in the world when he has time to hit with the forehand, Tsitsipas had too many difficulties in managing Alcaraz’s sorties from the backhand side. Okay the initial 6-2, even if the eleven consecutive points lost from 3-2 are pretty brutal. Another break to zero to open the second set, another break to zero to close it, that set, 6-1. When this is the script, and it seems to keep repeating itself even in the third setit is also difficult for a top player like Tsitsipas to stay focused and not lose his mind. It’s rather disheartening having to throw your arms in the sky to welcome the roar of the crowd celebrating your game, obtained after a streak of seven consecutive games by your rival, as happened on the 3-1 of the third. Especially if you are the fifth player in the world and you legitimately thought that match, before entering the field, that you could play it on equal footing.
