Carlos Alcaraz – Andrey Rublev 0-0
Carlos Alcaraz won the toss, and elected to dismiss. As usual. They started the warm-up. Full on Pala Alpitour in Turin, like every session. Capacity of 13,000 spectators.
Carlos Alcaraz and Andrey Rublevsecond day of the Red Group of the ATP Finals in Turin 2023. The players are ready to go out on the court, according to the official schedule at 2:30 pm This is, paradoxically, their first official confrontation. Frenchman Renaud Lichtenstein referees
Carlos Alcaraz will try to break a dynamic losing streak which I never met in ATP. Add three in a row. He lost in Shanghai to Dimitrov, in Paris to Safiullin and made his ATP Finals debut losing against Alexander Zverev.
Andrey Rublev did not beat Daniil Medvedev, Alcaraz’s rival on Friday, in his fourth Masters, where he was a semi-finalist in 2022. On the end-of-year tour he made the final in Shanghai and the semi-finals in Vienna and Paris.
Rublev, with a Spanish team: Fernando Vicente and Beto Martín They are his coaches, his manager Galo Blanco is also in Turin. The physio Marcos Borderías. Its center of operation is Barcelona. The 4 Slam Tennis Academy and the RCT Barcelona, where he holds the player record.
A duel of losers on the opening day, so both need a win to maintain their aspirations of finishing in the top two of the group and advancing to Saturday’s semifinals.
Alcaraz will leave if he loses and then Medvedev beats Zverev. A two-set loss would also be fatal. A KO in three sets would leave him very far from the semis, but maybe I’ll be alive after today.
Alcaraz, on Monday, suffered his third straight defeat on the circuit, losing to German Alexander Zverev 6-7 (3), 6-3 and 6-4. Andrey Rublev lost to his Russian compatriot Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 6-2.
Zverev and Medvedev play today at 9 p.m.
