What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorCarlos Alcaraz beats Alex de Minaur six-one, six-four to win the Vienna Open, and that is seven wins in seven meetings, on grass, clay, indoor hard and outdoor hard.

  2. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt took one hour and twenty-seven minutes. He lost on every surface in the sport, and he didn't win a set this week either.

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI'm telling you, that's a man touring the surfaces and losing on each one. Somebody tell him he can stay home.
