Carlos Alcaraz finally found his form in Hamburg as he smashed Karen Khachanov easily for the Hamburg semifinal 6-0 6-2.
The Spaniard stumbled through his first two matches in Hamburg playing some lacklustre tennis but winning nonetheless. Today's tennis was anything but lacklustre as she delivered an Alcaraz special smashing Khachanov with ease. There is not much to say about the first set as a bagel clearly indicated that the Spaniard was better and he was much better than his opponent.
The 2nd set featured more play and more battle simply because ALcarza toned down his aggression a bit and Khachanov played a little bit better. After not winning a point on his 2nd serve in the opening set, Khachanov won a couple in the 2nd set but it did not go much better. The Spaniard clearly had the upper hand once more in the 2nd set.
He took a 4-2 lead and then added another break to finish off the match with 6-2. Alcaraz is peaking at the right time and he's a serious contender to win this event. If he does it would be his 3rd ATP 500 triumph and 5th trophy of the year.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
