Carlos Alcaraz will play this Thursday against Jiri Lehecka on the third turn of the center court of to Queen, around 17:00 Spanish time. It was in the round of 16 duel and in the first game of his career against the Czech. For this reason, the Murcian refined his tennis on grass this Wednesday.
The Murcian tennis player, accompanied by his father, Carlosyour physiotherapist, Sergio Hernandezyour physical trainer, Alberto Lledó, and Samuel Lópezacting as coach before Juan Carlos Ferrero’s break, practiced for an hour on court 7 of the tournament, which became his talisman, as he practiced here for the last four days.
After a few warm-up games with his team, the Murcian rallied for a few minutes with Caleb Simms, a tournament-selected sparring partner from one of the South London schools.
Alcaraz made it special emphasis on serving, volleying and approaching the netthree of the factors that caused him to struggle so much in his debut against Arthur Rinderknech.
“At first he looked anxious, wanting to win a point from the second he had from the bottom. That calm will carry him the more he plays. With equal serves, sometimes he tries to do too much and what he needs to do is keep the percentage,” López explained after training.
Alcaraz will return to Queen’s center court this Thursday to face Leheck, the executioner of Alejandro Davidovich in the first round. The Czech has only two wins on grass on his resume, the aforementioned against the man from Malaga and a week ago in Stuttgart.
