• Wimbledon 2023: Alcaraz vs Berrettini

    From Kalevi Kolttonen@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 10 19:38:10 2023
    Hello!

    Alcaraz vs Berrettini has turned out to be very
    entertaining. Now they are closing the roof.

    I was shocked by two Alcaraz shots. I don't
    remember when it was, but I guess it was a
    breakpoint when Alcaraz hit a legendary smash!

    He had to back down so very much and his
    position looked extremely awkward. I was
    pretty sure he is going to miss it totally
    or end up with a weak shot. Instead he came
    up with a sensational shot, as his smash
    had huge power and a perfect angle! Wow!

    That must be one of the greatest smashes
    I have ever seen.

    Again, I don't remember when this shot was,
    but this time it was probably 40-40 on
    Berrettini's serve. Alcaraz struck a fantastic
    cross court shot. I could not believe my eyes,
    the speed was incredible! Then they showed
    the numbers on the screen: 104 mph = 167.4 kmh.

    I am not sure if I have ever witnessed a
    forehand this fast!

    But Berrettini is still fighting, he has
    a chance.

    The Italian fought well, but in the end
    Alcaraz was too powerful. He struggled
    a bit when serving for the match, though.

    The quarterfinal Alcaraz vs Rune should
    be extremely interesting.
