Holy Shit Carlos - how did you pull that off.
He beats Zverev the Abuser in five sets, cramps and all.
That was incredible.

I don't know how he fought through the cramps, vomiting during a changeover, etc. When Zverev broke him in the 5th, I was tempted to turn it off. Damn I'm glad I didn't.

And another chapter in the inevitable "Legend of Carlos Alcaraz" book has been written.
