If its just cramps can't he waddle around for another 45 minutes in hopes it gets better? Or are we thinking it's a pulled groin?

I really hope this is just cramps. If Carlos pulls out of this, then he'll be ok in 2 days. If it's a groin injury or whatever, he's going to give a walkover championship to Sinner/GOAT?

Doesn’t look like a groin injury luckily.

I think just cramps. He may just punt this set and hope it’s better in 15-20 minutes.

I got to make it to a grand slam day. Prices on the Secondary Market for the Men's Final are like $2,500 in the lower level.

That has to be exponentially lower than Wimbledon.

Carlos seems to be throwing it in this set. Wonder if he will stick around all the way till the 5th.

I was just at the AO 2025. Watched all the QF matches. Got to see GOAT beat Alcaraz

I haven't been to Wimbledon yet but went to USO and FO. Saw GOAT at all 3 including watching Joker win his record 23rd slam at the French. Only paid about $375 for 2 tix to that Final.

I am extremely jealous. How would you compare the atmosphere/"scenery" at the AO to Roland Garros?

I have no desire to ever go to the U.S. Open. I just couldn't sit amongst all the smug NY/NJ people for that long.

BTW, there's nothing really a secondary market for Wimbledon per se. You have to either win the ballot or if you don't get tickets in the ballot then you can buy resale on the Wimbledon site. But they're still face value. Wimbledon is actually very reasonable pricing IF you can get tickets and thats the hard part. There are debenture tickets and hospitality ticket packages that sell for a mint though.

The Spaniard looks like he could use a line of snow.

We really enjoyed the FO and AO. I think i liked the French a little more and my wife liked the AO atmosphere more. The USO was our least favorite of the 3 for multiple reasons but it was still awesome and easy to take the subway into. The USO is stupid expensive tickets though.

I don't know whats more, amazing that Carlos is hanging in there, or embarrassing that Zverev isn't capitalizing.

Carlos is standing still and working Zverev around the court chasing balls left and right.

Zverev is playing like he doesn’t know Alcaraz is injured.

He's recovering. He's moving so much better and even jumping on his serve again
