Tiafoe only has himself to blame if he loses this set. He's had all the best chances this last 15 mins. That miss at 6-3 in the tie break...

Yeah, you knew that's coming when he missed that forehand at 6-3.
 
Tiafoe 7-6! Two double faults, 2-3 unforced errors is not acceptable in a tiebreaker unfortunately and Carlos got punished for it.
 
Another incredible point from both but Tiafoe really should have gotten the break. He got to the drop shot at break point but tried to be too cute.
 
Tiafoe has two great chances to break this set and he's taken neither and it's proven costly.
 
Carlos takes the set. Tiafoe had chances in three different games to break but couldn't convert. He'll need to be more clinical if he's to win this match.
 
How good has Alcaraz been? Sensational.

To me Alcaraz is clearly the better tennis player but all credit to Tiafoe. Till the end of 2nd set he was giving it his all.
 
Yup, that's the match over. Tiafoe had to take his chances against Carlos the previous set. I think Ruuds forehand will do a lot more damage in the final. He hits with depth and heavy spin on the forehand and that will push Carlos back a bit.
 
To me Alcaraz is clearly the superior player and also playing better today. That's why tremendous credit to Tiafoe for hanging in there.
 
Woww. Carlos again tries to do much and has 3-4 very avoidable errors in a tie break. Still think Carlos takes the 5th but huge huge fight from Tiafoe. He looked down and out.
 
If Tiafoe could find a way to do something about his first serve, he'd have been completely unplayable this fortnight. It's quite a miracle he's doing this well with his awful first serve percentages.
 
3x 5 sets for Alcaraz in a row, Tiafoe 8-0 in tiebreaks.
 
For a guy who cannot buy a first serve, Tiafoe hits very few double faults.
 
Tiafoe had the point at 30-15 and then got broken. Needs to calm down a bit or this set could get away from him quickly.
