Alcaraz annihilated Auger-Aliassime today

in the Olympic semifinal 6-1 6-1. It's incredible to me that you can see Alcaraz's growth as a player even since his French Open win. He structures points so well and has such a wide variety of types of spin and variations in pace. When you combine it with his speed, it's just remarkable.

I feel bad for Felix, though. A couple years ago I thought he'd be one of the young titans along with Sinner, Rune, etc., but he's really fallen off. Then again, so has Rune, who just fired another coach (or rather the same coach for like the third time), so my prognostication-making needs some work.
