I think that was about as perfect as anyone in tennis history has ever played at that level the last 15-20 minutes.

Los hit every spot. Virtually no errors. Just an insane level. Against world #1 who gave him nothing.

What a match to witness.

Yeah, that was next level. Alcaraz didn't wait for his opponent to make a mistake, he went out there and took it. Some of those plays were breathtaking.

One of the top-5 matches I’ve ever seen.

I remember waking up early in Vegas to watch the Borg-McEnroe Wimbledon Final in 1980, which had an epic 18-16 tiebreaker won by McEnroe in the 4th set. Borg then won the final set 8-6 since they didn’t play final set tiebreakers back then. It was also a high quality match, with guys hitting winners on most of the critical points.

The classics:

Borg over McEnroe 8-6 in the 5th at the Wimbledon Final in 1980 with the 18-16 4th set tiebreak;
Nadal over Federer 9-7 in the 5th set at the Wimbledon Final in 2007;
Djokovic over Nadal 7-5 in the 5th set at the Aussie Final in 2012 (longest major final at 5h 53 min);
Djokovic over Federer 13-12, a 5th set breaker after Fed was up 8-7, 40-15 with 2 pts on his serve 2019 Wimb Final;
Alcaraz over Sinner 7-6 in the 5th set, 2025 French Final after Alcatraz saved 3 match points at 3-5 0-40 in the 4th set.

Honorable mention:

Federer over Nadal 6-3 in the 5th at the 2017 Aussie Final after being down 1-3 in the 5th set. Cuz I really wanted that win.

Sinner gets his punch back vs Alcaraz. Such a solid, consistent player. Dominant on serve after choking the 1st set.

Let’s do round 3 between these two in Artur Ashe in a couple months.

The real chocking was in the women's final: #8 Swaitek beat #13 Anisimova 6-0, 6-0

Here's an announcement at Wimbledon you don't hear at too many tennis matches:



:lol:

During the men’s Final today, a champagne cork fell onto the court between points, I think it was sometime when Sinner was serving in the middle of the third set. You can’t wait until a service game is over before popping a cork? Most games on grass only last a couple of minutes.
