Carlos Alcaraz is the most rising star in the world of tennis. His presence on court is a guarantee of a full house in the stands, with spectators eagerly awaiting some of the ‘signature’ points that have taken him to the top of the racket sport.
However, in Beijing he encountered an unusual situation. His lack of rhythm after three weeks of inactivity caused this, something that his opponent took advantage of to break free and take the two best points in the first set.
Yannick Hanfmann, who came from the qualifying phase without any pressure, He breaks away to bring the crowd to their feet with two kicks.
The first, a backhand crossed the pass after a shot that seemed certain from Alcarazand the second, a powerful backhand cross after hitting one of the world number 2’s iconic drops.
Despite the novelty and audacity of the German, Alcaraz did not let himself be taken aback and He scored the first set by 6-4 which he sealed with a devastating forehand.
