Carlitos has 48 hrs between winning Monte Carlo and playing his first match in Barcelona. And we wonder why players get injured.

Carlitos has a 10-1 record in Slam and Masters finals. Just think about that. It’s basically insane.

Bumming out in the Sunshine Double and then immediately winning Monte Carlo is totally Carlitos coded. And why narratives about him are fruitless. He does as he does. And we should never stop loving him for it.

Sad way for the match to end and you have to feel for poor Lorenzo. But Carlitos was winning the match in any event. You could see and feel it from the first game in the second set. Once he finds his mojo in finals he’s near impossible to stop. Back to world #2. The Spanish clay swing awaits…

Always felt to me this final would be too much of an ask for Lorenzo. Too many bruising matches, too much emotional expenditure getting through them. And Carlitos is just too damn good in finals.

I think it’s safe to say that Carlitos has warmed up.

Alcaraz's ability to find short angled drop volleys from around the service line is phenomenal. That's a shot of the highest difficulty.

Carlitos doing that thing of sleeping his way through a match against an opponent he knows can’t hurt him. Wakes up at the key plot points then dozes off again. Onto the final he goes. 👍🏻

One the matches of the year. Inevitably. Joyously. Thrillingly. Carlitos wins. Because despite serving like hell he’s a genius with balls of steel. Arthur loses. Because it is unbelievably fucking hard to redline for three hours without blinking. Thank you to both. Badass as badass gets.

I don’t know if Carlitos can win this match without a functioning serve. But if he does…it’ll be something.

We are now officially in strange territory with Charlie’s serve. The motion is clearly, manifestly a serious improvement. But it’s not yet delivering in terms of accuracy and reliability. It’ll get there. Gonna be a bumpy ride, though.

Carlos Alcaraz becomes the 3rd man to reach 15 or more Masters Quarterfinals before the age of 22. Rafa Nadal - 22. Novak Djokovic - 18. 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐳 - 𝟏𝟓. Fantastic achievement. 🇪🇸

Carlitos looking happy, relaxed, and incredibly dangerous.

Carlitos enjoying himself. That usually means curtains for everyone.

Carlitos just played one of the most astounding points I’ve ever seen.

If we can just get a TV channel to produce a hard hitting drama about Russian interference in the Brexit referendum, preferably starring both Stephen Graham and Toby Jones, we might actually get the government to give a shit.

Checks scores. Sees Arthur blitzed shouty boy. Smiles.

Goodbye Djokovic. Now fuck off back to playing tennis with RFK Jr.

Here’s one for you. Carlitos’ win percentage after 100 matches on clay is the second best of ALL TIME. Only bettered by some guy called Nadal. Generational.

Carlitos ends up completely dismantling Cerundolo. With the spectacular and, wait for it, the sensible. He’s missed the clay. And the clay’s missed him.

Those two droppers in row from Carlitos were simply dazzling.

Well, those two sets were Charlie’s year in a nutshell. To the third we go.
