Carlos Alcaraz He has yet to face his semifinal against the Chilean Nicholas Jarry (this Saturday, not before 10:00 pm) that he already knows what awaits him next week on the clay of the ATP 500 tournament in Rio de Janeiro.
The idea of the Murcian is to revalidate the title in Buenos Aires and regain the one in Rio, which he has to give to the British Cameron Norrie after suffering a muscle injury in his right leg in the final.
Once the event is released in Rio, the place where Alcaraz made his debut and won his first ATP Tour singles, the first seed will start against a guest of the organization, the Brazilian Thiago Monteiro.
In an anecdotal statistic: the South American dominates the official ATP series 1-0, since he won Melbourne 1 of 2021 by 7-6 (3) and 6-3. In the same season, but in the qualifying phase, the Spaniard won 6-2 and 6-3, also on a hard court.
Alcaraz’s path will continue with a player from the previous or the Argentine Pedro Cachínsome rooms with Swiss Stan Wawrinka or the Argentine Sebastian Baez and semi-finals against Argentina Francisco Cerundolo or the Serbian Laslo Djerewho debuted against the Spaniards Barnabas Zapata.
On the other side of the table, the candidates for the final according to the ranking are the current champions, the British Cameron Norrie, the Chilean Nicholas Jarry and the french Arthur Fils.
