Carlos Alcaraz, 20 years old and world No. 2, will start a new phase this season. He decided to open directly at the Australian Open, where he got his best result in three appearances, although he wanted more than the quarterfinals where he did not have a good day against the German. Alexander Zverev.
He left Melbourne disgusted with the level given in that match, but he started working between Villena and Murcia to continue the course with more energy. His second tournament is where it all started in 2023, the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires, the venue that entered his calendar due to the injury that prevented him from traveling to Australia.
Under normal conditions, Alcaraz decided to repeat at the Argentine Open, defending the title won twelve months ago against the British Cameron Norrie. And with Juan Carlos Ferrero is by his side, after recovering from knee surgery.
He steps on clay, as he will next week in Rio de Janeiro. First seed in the tournament, directly qualified for the round of 16, he was able to postpone his debut this Thursday.
It will headline the local afternoon-evening session, which opens at 10:30 pm Central European Time (6:30 pm local), with a second meeting no earlier than 12:00 am (8:00 pm).
I know the date, made the event official, I need to know the rival. He will be the ‘Witcher’, as his classmates call him, although he has had a second nickname since childhood, ‘Gordo’ (“as a child he was quite chubby,” he explains).
First duel with Alcaraz, a special day for Camilo Ugo Carabelli, which worked hard to reach the Murcian intersection. He had to overcome the previous stage, defeat the Spaniards Jaume Munar (6-2, 7-6) and the Bolivian Hugo Dellien (4-6, 7-6, 6-3).
24 years old and world number 1435, in the main draw he repeated what he did in 2023, he reached the round of 16, defeating the Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas, 7-6 (5) and 6-4.
Prize for Argentine Carabelli, who will experience a special day in his city. Varillas was left without him, losing all six games played this season.
In any case, a debut that seems comfortable for Carlos Alcaraz.
