Carlos Alcaraz vs Diego Schwartzman for the Title | Rio Open 2022 Final Highlights

cigalismo:

what else is there to say about this kid? just sit back, relax, and watch him become a tennis legend

Maguslloret Munoz:

He's simply brilliant!!! Only 18 years and so strong mentally,...what a performance in an ATP 500 final, my god!!!

Dejaya8 Ahora:

The best drop shot, great feel at net, and he lobs beautifully. Officially a fan of this kid's tennis and demeanor. Outstanding!

Goderer:

He will be tough to beat in slams even right now. This kid is the complete package. Hes 18 and he made schwartzman look like an amateur. Imagine what he’ll be in even 1-2 years.

Jack Rabbit:

Both players probably destroyed from playing two matches the other day, but Alcaraz showed a good level and won. Good run for both. Impressive considering Diego is one of the top clay players on tour

Lil Nicky Da Baddest:

My god Alcaraz what a monster he is becoming. He’s hitting every shot in the book and he’s only gonna get better scary stuff.

Isaac Frost:

As a Spaniard I was afraid that there would be nothing after the Nadal era but with this kid at least we have a top 5 for a lot of years if injuries respect him. Go Carlos.

Marius Popescu:

A new star is born: Carlos Alcaraz. He has everything: spectacular shots, smart tactics and fighting spirit.

Jakob Olson:

Lets hope this lad stays injury free, incredible player with a bright future!

A Duncan:

Alcaraz is looking so complete at such a young age!! This may just be the beginning of a few titles this year for the Spaniard. Curios to see how he fairs when it comes to the grass (with such heightened power and aggression) but also how deep he can go in Roland Garros!

El Andaluz Laurent:

Carlos es increíble ! Ya es el presente y el futuro del tenis español 🇪🇸🎾🏆👍🏻

Fabrice Haubois:

It’s not just the power, the talent, the fight, it’s the court sense and tactics, at such a young age, he plays like he has been on tour 10 yrs… amazing, already a great player, soon a champion

Habeeb Aina:

Those drop shots were from another dimension.
I suppose Schwartzman was extra fatigued, but Alcaraz was on another level. What a player!

T Clipse:

Have to love Diego. I’m 5’6 so I understands how tough it is to play this sport with limited reach. But wow I am hoping to see more wins from Alcaraz too! Amazing

Blanche:

Alzaraz's drop shots are insane, probably one of the best drop shots in the tour right now.

Colby Scott:

Alcaraz showed it all this match. The mental, the touch, the IQ, the power. He is so fun and so breathtaking to watch. I can't wait to see what he becomes.

LLAMI:

Felicidades Alcaraz, has tenido un ritmo constante de juego que físicamente ha sido superior a tu adversario.

Andrés Pablos Esteban:

Magnífico Carlos. Espectacular!!

Sebastian Kendrick:

As a huge Nadal fan I get the same joy watching this guy play. Looks like another Rafa in terms of mentality and fight.

Justin:

This is awesome to be able to watch a Champion form in front of our eyes, this kid is amazing! Way to go next Gen!

©️AI:

The good thing about CA is that he's got an all court game. He's actually very good at the net, which is unusual when alot of other players are allergic to coming to the net.

Joe Martinez:

Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz and well deserved battling rain delays and taking down a great player in Diego. Only 18 years old and continues to edge closer to become a dominant force in tennis. Only a matter of time for this Spanish sensation to reign supreme.

Cefe Alonso:

aparte de gran campeon , es un apersona excelente lo conozco muchos años somos vecinos,,,,,GRANDEEE CARLOSS

ramiro fauno martinez:

Este joven tenista es absolutamente impresionante !! Alcaraz está para cosas grandes !!

MrSalvi:

Mucho potencial y condiciones mentales para su edad. Se vienen años de buen tenis y ojalá muchos títulos.

Elio Elio:

Alcaraz drop shots are insanely good, i believe that hes gonna be the real deal from now on, he has the right mind set, likeable, talented, fighter, great court coverage, great on both ends bh and fh, guys we have a new star in the tennis word!!

Keith Lee:

Carlos Alcaraz is top 10 level now, and soon his ranking will be top 10.

Javier T.:

Alcaraz has very powerful groundstrokes (specially of course his forehand) which mixes up very well with very good dropshots and a good slice backhand. Also quite skilled at the net.
His mental strength and footwork is also very good.
His only not so good shot (not a bad one either) is his first serve, but he is improving it.

pukulu:

Alcaraz was consistent, patient and his drop shots were lethal. This was really good clay court tennis, like some great Spanish players from the past, like Orantes or Bruguera. Alcaraz knew that he needed to be patient against Schwartzmann.

Neo:

Alcaraz displayed Top 3 level tennis today and during the whole championship.

Unbelievable level of tennis displayed by him.
And the scary part was the consistency of maintaining that high level throughout. He just doesn't seem to have a weakness in his game.

Best of 5 is a whole different game, yes...but this French Open, i can see only a fit Nadal, or a in form Djokovic (if he's contending) playing a higher level than what Carlos Alcaraz displayed this past week.

CNW TRI:

Humble,respectful,hardworking, patient and mental toughness displayed by Carlos Alcaraz in alll his glory. And always fun to watch.

Julien Pontnau:

the sky is the limit for Alcaraz. The dropshots were especially scary because it shows he has a tactical mind and a nice touch on top of his amazing all around game.

Divinity Mode:

When the Big Three hang up their rackets there is only one potential heir to the throne. And here he is. Just wow.

dueeh nyyu:

Vamos Alcaraz que tu eres capaz, a entrar en el top 10

Choon Yew:

Alcaraz will be the most feared player on the tour this year. He has a very positive attitude on top of all the other weapons he possesses. Definitely a top 10 material and potentially a World No.1 very soon. He could threaten Nadal on clay this year.

cesar fernandez lopez:

Enhorabuena Campeon!!! 🏆 VAMOOOOOOS CARLOOOOS 💪🏼🇪🇸🎾❤️

Freeman Griffin:

So incredibly happy - Carlos has become my favorite player over this past year! So looking forward to his long and wonderful career!

Lewis Jones:

This guy's one to watch for sure. Along with Felix Auger Aliassime. Alcaraz is showing the defence and power of Nadal with the poise and tactics of Federer!

Kieran Rankie:

I watched the full match and honestly Alcaraz played insanely well. Top 5 level tennis right there.

Virginia Bandiera:

Alcaraz reminded me, in this match, with his gameplay, to Rafa on clay when he was young.
Congrats to Carlos for the well-deserved championship.

AHA:

05:30 "Bien, Diego". In the middle of a sprint, the guy is able to congrats his rival.

Minn Chi:

Alcaraz is a young champion in the making! 🏆 Congratulations, Carlos! V A M O S!!! 🔥💪🇪🇸

Marriot:

He is 18 and he is playing like a top 10 player already. I’m rooting for him

Julio Grijalva:

Lo destrozo, Diego debe entender que este chico es un futuro número 1 !

Antíoco IV Epífanes:

2 finals 2 wins. The throne of spanish tennis has an heir😎. King Nadal can be proud. Grande Carlitosss! Vamos!🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦❤️

Neivaldo Duarte:

Alcaraz é o cara nesses ATP's. Só os "top's mesmo pra bater com ele... o cara é muito fera!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

roter13:

I think top 10 is possible this year for him. I wonder if he will actually go to Acapulco considering how much he played this week.

かたろう部屋【TARO】:

Future no.1 is absolutely amazing!!!
Every his drop shop is art, and I think he has as much talent of tennis as BIG 4 players have.

Yakziv Z:

I really like both of these players, so it was very hard for me to root for one of them. Alcaraz is getting more confidence in his game and he is improving rapidly. I would also love to see Schwartzman win a GS as well.

Erin Reed:

23:23 Hermosa elección 😘 Xxlike.Uno de los mejores conciertos ❤️

27:21 Senada: "Hermoso"

13:29 Son unos de los mejores conciertos, no puede ir pero de tan solo verlos desde pantalla, se que estuvo sorprendente HHzF 🖤️

GoalieLife:

Alcaraz looked incredible in this match. Diego did his best but was outgunned, and in addition to power, Carlos’s drop shots were unreal. Winning Slams right now means beating Medvedev/Djokovic (?)/Nadal/Zverev and I’m not sure he’s ready to do that. What teenager is? But he’s going to be a problem.

Alejandro Rocker:

Congratulations Carlos you are a monster, I wish you much luck in your career

Leo Pizani:

Eu estava lá! Alcaraz chegará ao topo, sem dúvida alguma!

Banana Joe:

Carlos Alcaraz well deserved this championship, congratulations!
He has incredible physical and mental power, and a wonderful touch. The ingredients of champions.💯

Sarah Howard:

Wow I’m amazed by the tenacity and willpower of this 18 year old Spaniard! Making of a true champion. Masters title coming soon and he will then be on to many GS trophies! 🏆

Carlos Cousillas:

Carlos ya está en el TOP 20. Con resultados sólidos, puede hacer el TOP 10 este año. No descarto que pueda ganar algún M1000....ojo que le gusta más la pista dura....ya está al nivel de los mejores y puede llegar lejos en un GS. Y tiene 18....

Adrià Donadeu:

Este chico es impresionante y más que lo será.

Bam Srosier:

Schwartzman was completely outplayed. Well done, Carlos 👏

Bruno N. Pereira:

What a backhand he has for an eighteen year old! Reminds me of the backhand from top players like Djokovic!

Anderson Piotto:

Acho que vamos ouvir falar muito desse menino!!

Luis Miguel Del Valle Martínez:

Qué grande Alcaraz, felicidades 👏👏❤🇪🇸

Alanis&Star:

Espectacular torneo!!! Enhorabuena Carlos!!!

Porter:

Running out of superlatives for Alcaraz. I think the thing that sticks out most for me is his tennis IQ, the kid looks like he’s been playing on the tour for 10 years! Always seems to know when to play the right shot. Can’t wait to watch him become a legend over the next 20 years or so.

mumihp:

Carlos is amazing, such a powerhouse especially at 18, future multiple grand slams winner for sure.

Joseph w rocha Silva:

Esse alcaraz tem futuro no mundo do tênis 🎾🎾🎾🎾 o estilo dele parece muito com o Rafael Nadal . Assim como o Nadal ele tem uma força física e mental muito grande!

I'm Always Right:

“He’s everywhere” 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
VAMOS CARLOS. You first ATP500 title, and the youngest to win one. Grand Slams next 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

canchero:

Was that Alcaraz saying "Bien Diego" at 5:30? Nice touch of class to appreciate your opponent playing a good point

Fear Him:

That was very impressive! His timing and shot making ability is incredible.
And he's only 18? Watch out world!

Markus E:

Congrats to both for making the final.
And congrats, Carlos, for winning.

Maan J.:

Congrats to Alcaraz. He deserves it. Has been working very hard and it finally paid off.

Kitat Desdenu:

Vamos Alcaraz que tu eres capaz, a entrar en el top 10

Samy Citizen:

Carlos is amazing. He just defeated an excellent clay court player. Wow. I am happy for him😃

Sean Binder:

Carlos drop shots are the best I've ever seen they barely go over the net and can hit them from anywhere.

B:

alcaraz never ceases to amaze me. but in this tourney what most caught my attention were his dropshots. so consistently close to the net.
and btw what a relief watching some good drop shots like that! just watched FAA x Rublev which i really enjoy but drop shots were nowhere to be seem from both sides there :p

David:

Gigant Alcaraz. Spain the country with most players on top 20. Four of them.

moc 009:

The meteoric rise of Carlos Alcaraz!

gaarawiththegourd:

Wow. Just wow. That was an almost perfect performance by Alcaraz. Now I'm curious to see how well he will play against any of the top 3. Last year his mental strength seemed lacking, and often this factor is what distinguishes the great players from the rest.

fang. Clarke c:

Going straight to the top... this kid has all the hallmarks. Amazing how he doesnt start off in 5th gear, just works his way up, upping the anti with a load of precision dropshots that dazzle the audience. No one like him or close in that respect. maybe Djoko but not that good.

Callum Heatherly:

What an outstanding performance by this young man, he really did great to dominate swartzmann. Congratulations Alcaraz u r truly a great player and look forward to u winning many more.

劉紹楷:

Waht a match, both played in a high quality.
Especially Alcaraz, he is an all-rounder, he has speed, strength, nice drop shot, net point, also, he plays very muture in his age. I think he has the high potential to be No.1 in the future.

Maggie Smit:

Wow Congrats Carlos, this is what champions do: even if dead tired, he found a way to keep going and play great on the most important points. Impressive at 18 years old, very impressive 🥳💫🎾💚

THIERNO SAIDOU:

Este chaval va ser el futuro número1 si tiene suerte de los lesiones mucho suerte Carlos sigue asi

1 IN A BILLION.. unfortunately.. predetermined:

I haven't seen an 18 year old play like this since Nadal.

Shiva Suresh:

He obviously has all the physical tools. The thing that stands out even more is you can tell he loves to compete. That's a deadly combination.

Maime Ricks:

Alcaraz is a force ! Imagine several years from now, he is unbelievable.

easyscore:

For 18 to show the patience and variety in schooling a tough customer like Schwartzman like he did was so impressive. Special young man who has quite a future ahead of him

camo sriyam:

He is looking fantastic mentally and physically on hard and clay courts. Can’t wait to see his runs at RG and the Us open

Young Young:

He has the best drop shot and lob I have ever seen. His speed is second to none. He just needs to improve his serve and get more experience against top 5 players. He's a real talent.

nicolas rodriguez:

Enhorabuena Carlos 👏 ❤🇪🇦❤

Frank G.:

Alcaraz is outstanding. He's gonna be top 10 by the end of the year.

J. S.P:

Carlos was dancing on Rio's clay...
What a performance 👏

Unser Trefflicher:

With Alcaraz, sometimes I am watching Nadal, but sometimes I am watching Nole ... but sometimes I am watching Federer ... a really astonishing mixture. He has got his own style, he is strong and he functions well at mental level.

Gaming [S]Kill[Z]one:

He's amazing and young as well.. he will be 100% the future star tennis player and I bet he is gonna win a lot of majors

Arveen Amiri:

Man, Schwartzmann losing the second final in a row. Hang in there, your ATP title is coming.

Great match play by Alcaraz. This baseline dropshots can’t be beat.

john:

Great footwork is, by far, the number one commonality in all the great/elite tennis players, and this guy has it !!

Arjun Harer:

The fact that he used the drop shot so well against one of the fastest players on tour! He’s gonna be a menace this year

Carel Ngounoue:

Alcaraz already having the full package at such a young age. And considering how hard he hits the ball, it's not surprising that his dropshot is so effective. Only thing I'd saying he needs to improve is his serve. He's got a pretty good serve, but it would be grate if he could weaponize it more. But with time I bet he'll be a great server.

Adam Gaha:

Este chico va en serio buen servicio buena derecha llegara lejos con este nivel ahora a trabajar y seguir ganando torneos y 💪👌👍

Arthur:

diego did an incredible performance too!

DazBradyLM:

This young man is the real deal. He is a fantastic player and I look forward to seeing what he can do. Congratulations on winning Rio
