Didn't watch the match, but as usual Christine's given the facts as far as she actually saw them

Such a shame that Carlos had to retire thru an injury 😟, but he's still very young & will get much stronger as he gets older.


Get well soon & good luck for the future Carlos 👍

I see no disrespect. He was injured. He came to the net shaking his head. He had an exchange at the net with FAA, the umpire announced he wouldn't be able to finish the match and he walked off. What does that tell you about him? To me it means he knew he was in a position to further damage his thigh injury and opted not to risk it. He had some words with the medical staff, didn't take a full MTO, then after the next game opted out. Good judgment is what I see. Thinking beyond the moment. Even the McEnroe brothers were commenting in the first set that he didn't have the usual 'pop' in his game as previously. It's sad, but he literally blew out a thigh muscle during his previous match.

I don't like how he just gave up. Tells me a lot about him.

Wasn't the way Alcaraz left the court disrespectful ?

Did he even talk to the ref about retiring?

It is sad.

Sad end to a great run. Back 2 back 5 setters finished him physically.

He just walked off guys

He didn't want to worsen his injury. Being cautious, I guess.
I'm so sad.

He had his left leg strapped all match. He called for the trainer the game before he retired. The trainer and him just talked. No actual physical contact.
Then Felix held serve and he retired unexpectedly.

Well he wasn't playing with the energy we saw in his earlier matches.

Wait what the hell happened???

Oh no. I hppe he won't have mental issues. Pressure issues. Have to take time off....etc

Probably was not feeling 100% physically, so cause he was losing, didn't wanr to risk an injury

Nicholas I thought you said Alcaraz WASN'T done.

Now you're giving Bravo's to FAA

Damn...how sad

Hurt his legs

He was done. Bowed out. Knew he couldn't go on. Didn't have his game. Shoke his head. Shoke hands. And left.

Bravo Felix

No one knows what happened, he just walked off, lets wait for press conference

Those 5 setters did take a toll afterall.

Christine what happened?

So disappointing. And sad.

Can anyone who was watching explain what happened?

What happened to alcaraz

I looked away and looked back, it was over.

Wtf that came outta nowhere

Noooo

Wait what the heck?

Stop LOLing. Carlos has done well this tournament.
