Shock at the Rome Masters! Carlos Alcaraz, eliminated after losing in two sets against the Hungarian Marozsán
ATP
Carlos Alcaraz has been eliminated from the Rome Masters in his second match. The world No. 2 was completely outclassed by Fábián Marozsán who, in the first match of his career against a Top 10 player, defeated the Spaniard in two sets: 6-3 7-6(4).
In the first set of the match at the Rome Open, Alcaraz had a break point but he didn't use it. Marozsan then continued to play spectacular tennis breaking for the first time at 2-1 to go uo 3-1. Both won their respective serves until the end with the Hungarian winning the opening set 6-3. In fact, Carlos Alcaraz would not have a break chance for the rest of the set. The Hungarian was very confident with his serve as Alcaraz didn't play that well looking rather fatigued.

In the second set, the doubts continued in Alcaraz's tennis. The Spaniard was not able to put his opponent in any trouble, who was still impeccable in his serves. At 3-3, all the alarms would go off, as Marozsan again got a break to go up 4-3. Carlos Alcaraz would first demonstrate why he is number 2 in the ranking, getting his first break of the match in the most tense moment for him. At 4-4, the two took their respective games to a tie break.

Everything seemed to be on the right track. Alcaraz got an early 'mini-break' to put on track what would have been the 1-1 in sets. However, with 3-4 in favor, the Spaniard collapsed and Marozsán chained four straight points to close the set and take the match giving one of the biggest surprises of the tournament, if not the biggest of all.

- 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
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.

Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
