Carlos Alcaraz He left Buenos Aires with bad feelings. The defeat in the semifinals against the Chilean Nicolás Jarry showed his problems on the court, which he himself highlighted in the analysis after his elimination 7-6 (2) and 6-3.
“There are many things to improve, I played very far from my real level. It is a failure that hurts a lot,” said the Murcian, 20 years old and world No. 2.
He doesn’t have much time for regrets, because next week he will face the ATP 500 clay court tournament in Rio de Janeiro. Unable to retain the crown in Buenos Aires, he will try to attack one in Rio, which eluded him in 2023 when he was injured in the final match against the British. Cameron Norrie.
Among the reflections he will share with his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero In what happened in Buenos Aires, there will be a detail about his Murcian pupil that the Valencian does not notice.
It had caught his attention on another previous occasion, and he wasn’t going to let this one go either. It’s a rage Carlos Alcaraz which he did not like even to himself. He already admitted in April 2023, at the Mutua Madrid Open, that “I don’t like throwing the racket and I regret it.
Like in that complicated fight against Finn Emil Ruusuvuori, also in Buenos Aires Alcaraz paid with the racket. Just like before, he didn’t even try to break it, but he pulled it out of frustration.
At 6-7 (2), 3-5, the Spaniard’s backhand passing went into the net, ie Jarry He had a second match point, that’s for sure. Alcaraz sent the racket flying, which landed on the ground moments later. It’s a risk because he doesn’t have much control over the distance, and a bigger penalty is at stake if the racket touches someone on the court.
Another factor to improve for Alcaraz. He is 20 years old, his development is very fast, but it is clear that he continues to work overtime to improve in all the ways necessary to become a champion.
