Carlos Alcaraz – Bernabe Zapata 4-2
I played 15 Alcaraz, saving his serve with no problem. Half time semifinal.
40-15 Zapata saw it coming, stopped Alcaraz’s attempt to serve and volley, which was caught midway.
30-0 Alcaraz, scores on first and second serve. He is more comfortable on the track as his competitive shooting increases. It’s incredible how far he’s come back on Tour. It has a very high cruising speed on its own. Youth helps to have that spark. And there is a lot of talent that works with discipline.
Carlos Alcaraz – Bernabe Zapata 3-2
I play 30 behind Zapata, who is giving battle in his first ATP Tour semifinals. Murcian and Valencian are known, great level of play. Carlos is more dominant, but Bernabé doesn’t give an inch if he isn’t forced. He makes no concessions.
Carlos Alcaraz 3-1 Bernabe Zapata
Play Alcaraz, who needed six minutes to hold his serve and confirm the lead break.
Alcaraz advantage, this time choosing the drop shot at the right time, after leading Zapata almost touching the canvas in the background. The attack was well developed and well executed.
Same again. A drop is out of the question. Alcaraz knew this and executed a ‘churro’ backhand. Those little oversights that should be polished.
equal Zapata Miralles responded, as expected because the Valencian has a job and has grown hungry in the ATP. It is difficult for him to reach the top-100, he will position himself by calling the top-60.
40-30 Alcaraz,
FIRST ACE.
30-30 Excellent Alcaraz unhurried despite tremendous defending time and time again from Zapata, willing to give his life up to
Court Guillermo Vilas of the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club.
15-30 Shoes. Common mistakes of Alcaraz’s long-term lack of activity. He takes them back in undefeated streaks. Parties provide continuity. Third of the year, he will go for the fourth, another final.

Carlos Alcaraz 2-1 Bernabe Zapata
Demanding a lot of Alcaraz, top level. Ten minutes into the semifinal, he made the first break, game to 30.
30-40 Alcaraz, who fails on the first break ball.
15-40 ALCARAZ, TWO BREAK BALLS. He ended up putting on a show against Lajovic, bringing his tennis up a notch. Keep in the same line. Big parallel inverted drive rest on the second serve. A bomb.
22:31– 15-30 Alcaraz. Third game of the year, in his return. Quickly increases in speed and reaches level. Very low backhand filling a volley at will. Always forward. Aggressive by nature.
15-15 Alcaraz drop appears, from right. A good weapon against an opponent who doesn’t usually leave the bottom of the court.
Carlos Alcaraz – Bernabe Zapata 1-1
The game at 15 Alcaraz, after a long rally in which he took the initiative, continued until Zapata Miralles failed. On the net itself, forced. The Valencian is stony and brave. Safely enjoying this semifinal, even if the rival is very fierce. He beat him when the Murcian was 17, then lost at Roland Garros 2021.
30-0 Alcaraz, quick with a serve that gave him problems at times in the quarterfinals, but at night and after it rained. Now, under the sun and in the heat, the ball jumps more. It comes out faster and stronger, it flows from the racket.

HE PLACED EIGHTH AT ROLAND GARROS 2022
30-15 Zapata Miralles, who in his junior days beat Hurkacz and Tsitsipas in the European championship of the category. He gets positions among professionals. He was wearing a bandage under his left knee. Of submission.
