Seb called a shocks the tennis world with an exceptional performance in Miami as he knocks
1:34
out the world number one Carlos Alcaraz in three sets.
1:39
This is the post-match reaction.
1:42
Let's go through it.
1:50
My word, what an upset this one is, and Seb called a, we know he's good, but did we
1:58
know he was this good?
2:00
I have to say for one, I didn't see this coming.
2:04
Let me know if you did in the comments.
2:07
What performance from Sebastian Corder, 6'3", 5'7", 6'4", and it could have been even
2:15
That's the crazy thing about this.
2:17
He threw away the second set while serving out for it at 5'4", and yeah, he lost three
2:27
He got broken again to even lose the second set, 7'5", but to be able to go through that
2:34
mental fragility and then come back and win the match, where it's just amazing, an absolute
2:42
masterclass they say here, enormous serving, all out aggression from the baseline, and
2:48
this is Carlos's worst loss by ranking since Miami last year, when he lost the David
2:54
Goffan, remember, first ever win for Corder over a world number one, third Miami round
3:01
of 16 appearance, 11th, top 10 win, one of America's greatest talents, no exaggeration,
3:10
he has it all, and today he showed it, he really did, it was an exceptional performance,
3:18
you have to be at your best to beat someone like Carlos Alcalaz, and it's good to see
3:23
Seb Corder's coming back to a bit of form, obviously we've seen him win a tournament this
3:29
year, already Del Ray Beach was the tournament he won, and he did look really good there.
3:36
That was a sign of things to calm I feel, and when he's injury free, he is someone to
3:43
be feared on the tour, he has had his list of injuries, I mean take a look at this, he's
3:50
not pretty reading, you see here he had the back injury which has been the latest thing
3:59
which he's been suffering with, he's had some a week off this year, he's had a month off
4:07
last year, he had, well yeah another week off at the beginning of last year, elbow injury
4:13
before that, another injury in 2024 as well, it doesn't specify which, we had an ankle injury
4:21
in 2023, wrist injury as well, so in 2023, lower back injury in 2023, shin injury in 2022,
4:32
and a back injury there in 2021, so the list of injuries for such a great talent on the tour,
4:41
it's very sad to see, but when he's playing and he's not injured, he produces fantastic tennis,
4:49
and yeah knocking out alkalis is just unbelievable, this is great that you get some stats come out,
4:57
and it says that Seb Corder defeats an alkalis, he becomes the second quarter to beat a current ATP
5:04
world number one, after his father, Peter Corder or Petta, he's stunned Pete Sampress at the 1997
5:13
US Open, there you go, there's a little headline there, picture Sampress not looking impressed,
5:20
and they're showing that when he did win, he celebrated in the same way, look at that,
5:25
it's got the racket on top of his head, hands on his head, pretty much the same type of feeling,
5:31
but it must just be just joy, just to have this type of feeling after all the injuries,
5:39
to know that you've got the level in there, and to finally produce it on the big stage,
5:45
not many people can defeat Carlos Alcalaz, especially in Miami, but he's just done it, and he's done
5:53
it from what was a really difficult position, after losing the second set, you'd think Alcalaz would
5:58
go and run away with it, but he kept true to himself, he kept serving well, and he managed to get
6:07
a break in the third set, it was really tough, there were a lot of juices, very, very close
6:16
third set, but he just edged it, and the serving was the key element, he looked really strong
6:22
on his first serve in this entire match, it just fell down at the end of that second set,
6:29
just think the nerves got in and got the better of him, but you can see here, performance rating,
6:34
they gave Carlos a higher performance rating of 8.7, he only got 8.4 apparently,
6:40
and the quality apparently was higher for Carlos, but he just goes to show, it's fine margins in tennis,
6:50
and his serve quality was the thing that got him through in the end, 8.8 to Carlos is 7.5,
6:57
it's always going to be close, and you're going to have to do a lot to defeat someone like Alcalaz
7:05
on this surface, and it proved, Alcalaz maybe a little bit below par, some people were saying,
7:11
but I think you can only really give Coda the credit, I don't think we can look too much into
7:16
Alcalaz's performance, he raised his level in the second set to snatch the set, and in the third
7:23
set it just wasn't enough, he got broken again, and Coda was able to hold his nerve, really should
7:29
have been a straight set's win for Seb Coda, but for him, I would say bottling it a bit at the end
7:36
of that second, they're calling him giant slayer here as he took down the number one with two great
7:43
set scores for his shot quality, and 9.4 on the forehand, it was very, very solid today, and 8.8
7:52
on the serve, yeah, it was brilliant, this is what he had to say afterwards, they asked him how it felt,
7:58
he said it feels great, I took the scenic route, that's for sure, a little more stress than I would
8:04
want, but I'm happy with how I played and stayed with it, kept believing, got myself in some
8:09
nasty situations, just kept going, kept believing, played really well at the end, and they said,
8:17
you and your team have talked about the idea of staying within yourself and your game,
8:21
especially at that new found aggression, how did you do it? He said a lot of soul searching,
8:27
that's for sure, I've gone through a lot of things, played a lot of great players, haven't been
8:31
able to get it done, but I felt always when I was playing these top players that I would start
8:37
spraying the ball, and try to do a bit too much than I need to, with Ryan, we sat down, our gold
8:46
day was to play average, just to have an average ball, don't do too much with it, that's when you
8:52
get in trouble, that's kind of what he's searching for is you start spraying and you get yourself in
8:58
trouble against him, and they said, if that's average, what's your top level then? He said, I mean
9:05
the ball speed, not the way I played, I was aggressive as possible, I served great the whole match,
9:11
and that's what you need to do to beat a player like him, he's unbelievable in every aspect of the
9:16
game, movement, volleys, forehand, backhand, there's nothing he can't do, I had to be aggressive,
9:22
I had to take the ball out of his hand and take the point in my favour, very well said, those are
9:30
the things you have to do, because if you don't, you're on the wrong side of a beating,
9:35
and he found that out in the second set, he didn't want to feel it again in the third,
9:40
and he just did great, he realised his potential out there on the court today, and it was great to see,
9:49
and number five is the number, he's the fifth American to defeat an ATP world number one out
9:57
of the Miami Open, and the first born in Florida since the tournament's inception in 1985,
10:04
alligator it says there, and there's the other players who have also done it, Rodic versus Federer
10:11
2008, Agassi versus Sampress in 1995, Chang versus Kuria 1992, Wheaton had defeating Edberg in 91,
10:23
yeah, and he becomes the lowest ranked player to defeat Alcholaz since Goffan in Miami last year,
10:31
some bits about Carlos Alcholaz, he has been eliminated in the round of 32, a Masters 1000,
10:38
as the current world number one, for the second time it happened in Paris in 2025,
10:44
and the Masters considering the ATP number one players eliminated in the round 32 or early,
10:52
Roger Federer experienced it 10 times, so there's a list of some of the other players,
10:59
got Sampress with seven, Djokovic with six, Agassi with four, Hewitt with four,
11:06
Gustavo Kuerten with three, Andy Murray with two, Daniel Medvedev with two, Thomas Muster with two,
11:14
no Alcholaz with two, and we've got Rios Safin Nadal and Edberg all there with one, and yeah,
11:24
it should be noted that obviously the players who stay at world number one,
11:28
longest, they're probably going to have more of them, but that's pretty much it, I mean,
11:35
crazy things have happened, this has got to be up there, who is now a sinner now, the big
11:43
favorite to go on and win the whole entire tournament in Miami, or do you give Seb Corden now a
11:50
chance to go all the way and potentially enter his name into the mix as well, because wouldn't it
11:57
be nice if there are a few other players on tour who start getting into the conversation, we've
12:03
said it in tournaments just gone, and we could be saying it in tournaments yet to come,
12:09
can't wait to see what happens for the rest of Miami, so tell me your thoughts about this result
