Carlos Alcaraz He will return this Tuesday to the center court of the complex that hosts the ATP 500 hard court tournament in Beijing. He did not think at all that his quarterfinal match was played outside of it, in the smallest Pista Lotus, the second stadium in relation and size, even with more history because it was the main stage in the 2008 Olympic Games, “more special because it is where Rafael Nadal won his gold,” the Murcian recalled.
Where he was an individual Olympic champion, since then he has also won the most important medal at Rio 2016 forming a duo with Marc Lopez. A couple with Alcaraz at Paris 2016 will be one of the hot moments of the next Olympic event.
Alcaraz defeated the Norwegian Casper Ruud by 6-4 and 6-2 in 1h.45′, successfully entered the semifinals this Tuesday, which will open no earlier than 9:30 am Daniel Medvedev and the german Alexander Zverev.
Later, not before 1:30 pm, the Spaniard, 20 years old and world No. 2, will have his favorite generational Classic. In front, the Italian Jannik Sinner22 years old and No. 7, with whom he will break the current 3-3 tie in the Chinese capital.
The transalpine suffered to close his appointment with Alcaraz. When he finished his task, he began to defeat the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov by 6-3, 3-6 and 6-2 in 2h.31′. Near local dawn, access to ‘semies’.
There was an illness sinner in the match. At 3-0 in the third set, after some feinting, he grabbed a trash can placed within his reach to vomit during the break. The Italian arrived in China quite ill, with a cold. Although it had to do with a specific event, as he himself said: “I must have eaten something spoiled,” he commented.
He endured, and would have a seventh duel with Alcaraz. The third of this course. The Murcian won the semi-finals of Indian Wells by 7-6 (4) and 6-3, but lost in both rounds of the next event, to Miami by 6-7 (4), 6-4 and 6- 2.
