Any idea on why he's cramping? ... it's certainly not hot there. Maybe he's sick?

I think it's plenty hot, especially in the sun. Plus I think it's a matter of his absolute workhorse style of tennis. He will go all out to win every single point.

A little hotter than usual for this time of year in Paris today. And this is the French Open, lest we forget. It's the most physically demanding tournament by a mile, even without the heat. Stuff like this is bound to happen. It sucks but it's part of the deal when it comes to this event.

Not having his legs 100% might make Carlitos play smarter instead of harder.

Alcaraz was cramping against Sinner at the US Open too. Came back to from down 1-2 to win in 5.

I feel like he could have done a lot more to slow the match down like some of vets would have, but I guess it's different these days with the serve clock.

Alcaraz has a massive machine behind him. They should have a good enough hydration strategy for him to avoid massive cramping like this, especially relatively early in a match

It’s almost 90 there. It’s way warmer than usual. I think it’s a training mistake on his teams part.

Right now, Alcaraz is the best tennis player in the world. No doubt in my mind. Novak GOAT.

Plus, he's inexperienced at cheating and or gamesmanship. Props to him, but he should have been milking every second he could have.

We're seeing right now, why Alcaraz might not match the careers of the Big 3. Over-reliant on his legs and insane athleticism. He's got the other tools in abundance, just needs to lean on them more.

I mean... screaming after winning points when your opponent is clearly nowhere near 100% is kinda fricked.

No he didn’t. No cramps and this match is up there. His fist
Pumping and yelling is absurd.
