UŽIVO Alkaras bljesnuo – ludnica u Malagi, brejk!

Rafa Nadal’s reaction as Carlos Alcaraz rips a forehand down the line to break serve for Spain in the doubles against Netherlands.

“VAMOS.”

Even from the sidelines, the Rafa Vamos + fist pump is just as iconic. 🇪🇸🥹

Au, kakav turbulentan gem! Stižu Španci sjajnom igrom Alkarasa sa osnovne linije do 15:40, ali spasavaju obe brejk lopte Holanđani.

Ipak, prave dve greške u naredna dva poena i to je brejk.

Ozbiljna pretnja Holanđana na 1:1, 15:30, ali je Alkaras odservirao nekoliko bombi i izvukao svoj tim iz problema.

Spain are a set down in the deciding doubles against the Netherlands.

Can they fight back to prolong Rafael Nadal's tennis career? 🎾 pic.twitter.com/8RoMsrPcFQ

Taj-brejk:
1:0 – odličan ritern Kulhofa, a onda i mini-brejk
2:0 – servis viner Botika
2:1 – prebrz forhend Alkarasa, vraćen mini-brejk
3:1 – odličan ritern Van de Zandshulpa
3:2 – servis viner Granoljersa
3:3 – poen za Špance, odlučio sjajan lob Alkarasa
4:3 – odličan servis Kulhofa
4:4 – servis viner Alkarasa
5:4 – dobri udarci Kulhofa, greška Alkarasa iz forhenda na kraju
6:4 – Kulhof siguran na mreži
7:4 – set za Holandiju

Najpravednije je da se prvi set reši posle taj-brejka.
