the best version of Carlos Alcaraz appeared this Friday at Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell-69 Conde de Godó Trophy. Murcian, 18 years old and number 11 in the world, got 8,000 viewers who filled Rafael Nadal Court on a night shift with an electric atmosphere.
Murcian drove the audience crazy with an exhibition that terrified the Greeks Stefanos Tsitsipas, a recent impotent Monte Carlo Masters 1000 ATP champion. the student of John Charles Ferrero entered the semifinals beating Greek, 23 years old and world number 5, by 6-4, 5-7 and 6-2 at 2h.12 ‘. He may have finished earlier, as he led 4-1 in the second set, but his brief youth crisis ended up adding more weight to his success. If he deserves to overwhelm up to that 4-1, at least a big crack reaction.
The ‘boom’ Alcaraz took over RCT Barcelona-1898. About ten o’clock at night and the fans were singing “Charles, Charles!”, Surrender to his drops, to the power and magic of his blows.
A massive show by Alcaraz, who will recognize his “older brother” Pablo Carreno Eventually. The Asturian, who was with him for many hours of training in Villena (Alicante), at the Ferrero academy, will open the semifinals on Saturday against the Argentine Diego Schwartzmannaround 1:30 pm Carlitos’ turn against the Australian was not before 4:00 pm Alex de Minaur, who took away a tired Brit cameron norrie by 6-3, 5-7 and 6-1.
New world top-10
Norrie’s defeat, world number ten, meant Alcaraz’s mathematical rise to the top-10. It will debut next Monday. Although he continues to hunt As the Godó Trophy, because it proved to have forgotten Monte Carlo, having regained all its brilliance on earth. The transition from hard to clay was largely achieved after three games in Barcelona.
He combined his progression beating in the afternoon James Munar 6-3 and 6-3 in an hour and ten minutes, at the same time Stefanos Tsitsipas invested to beat the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov by 6-1 and 6-4. They resolved their respective round of 16 fights with authority, they arrived fresh and ready to face their quarter-final clash on the night.
Alcaraz dominated the hard court of US Open 2021 and Miami 2022. A record that weighed on the Greek the moment he failed in the first service. A stunning fall from Murcian marked the ‘break’, 5-4, which went on to a blank game for a 6-4 set. A show that worried Hellene, who threw a violent ball towards Alcaraz’s body, dodging it into the net. He remained defiant, the Spaniard waiting for an apologetic crowd that did not come.
The people applauded Carlitos, whistling at the mad Greek. There is as much anger as powerlessness in Tsitsipas.
The Spaniard kept the roller up 4-1 in the second set. He is 18 years old, this is only his second Godó. He had committed a logical youthful sin. A few more rash racket shots, the nerve penetrating and a class rival taking advantage of that stage of Alcaraz’s uncertainty to regain ground, made slightly 0-4 (4-5), and 1-6 (5-7).
He was trying too hard to bust the ball to Alcaraz. Before facing the third round he went to the bathroom. A moment of pause. Calm returned, Murcian regained the initiative. He regained the special ability to crucify the opponent through shattering dropshots. And fans continue to vibrate with Carlitos, sending out special vibration, spreading enthusiasm.
Two penalty points for Tsitsipas
In Alcaraz 3-0, Tsisipas went to the bathroom. Beyond three minutes, and the chair umpire allowed him two points, one for every 30 “passed (one minute), as Italian chair umpire Messina explained to him. 30-0 Alcaraz. Hellenic lace, whose frustration multiplied. And because Carlitos ended up as turned on when he started. In conjunction with the fans.
