C. ALCARAZ – F. AUGER ALIASSIME
The players will be taken to court! Gala atmosphere in the Philippe Chatrier track, which finally appears to have no roof. It will be played outside
The clay of Paris will bring together two promising careers that have followed very different paths. The Spaniard is chasing his second consecutive quarterfinalsafter falling in last year’s semi-finals plagued by cramps
Their last two duels had the same battlefield, the hard court of Indian Wells and the same winner: In 2023, in the quarterfinals, and the same year in the first round, duels that preceded Alcaraz’s victory in the tournament
That same year, their rackets crossed again in the semi-finals of Basel, again with victory for Auger-Aliassimewhose best season culminated in a lift to the fourth tournament of the year in Switzerland
The following year, once he won the US Open and became the youngest number 1 in history, Alcaraz boarded a plane to Valencia to play the Davis Cup against Canada. Fatigue prevented him from competing against the Canadian number 1
The Canadian will face Alcaraz for the fifth time, the first on clay, the second in a Grand Slam. The first rivalry took place in 2021, when the Murcian was 18 years old, in the quarterfinals of the US Open, where Alcaraz came after a difficult draw, forcing him to play 17 sets. He lost the first and fell into the second when his adductors failed him and he abandoned it
A self-confessed admirer of Nadal, he once told his father that “one day” he wanted to be like the Spaniard and devoted a lot of effort to it. In Canada he immediately became the best and At the age of 14 he became the first tennis player to win a professional matcha precocity reminiscent of his idol
“It is always a big challenge to play against an opponent like this. He is still one of the best in the world. “It’s like if you play against Jannik Sinner or against Novak Djokovic, they’re always tough opponents,” said Auger-Aliassime.
A review of his record indicates that Auger-Aliassime did not shine against top tennis players. On his resume, the match he played in the round of 16 at Roland Garros in 2022 against Rafa Nada stands out.l, five tight sets forced the Spaniard, on his way to his fourteenth title, to sweat to get through the round
He can only be proud of his defeat of the Norwegian Casper Ruud, a clay court specialist, double finalist at Roland Garros. But in the final, against the world number 8, the Russian Andrey Rublev, he missed a good chance to score in the first tournament of the year and even the Muscovite looked sick.
The Canadian has solidified all aspects of his game, although he still needs to take the final step, be competitive against the best in the world. A good example is the last he played in the last Masters 1,000 in Madrid, his first to reach a tournament in that category. Injuries were his best ally, because up to three rivals, the Czech Jakub Mensik retired in the third round, the Italian Jannik Sinner did not appear in the quarterfinals and the Czech Jiri Lehecka played only six games in semifinals.
Now, at 23 years old, Auger-Aliassime moderated the expectations that weighed on him, but he remains one of the great hopes for the future, a career with ups and downs that put him at number 5 in the ranking
A few years ago, when he became the first tennis player born in the 21st century to break into the top-100, The Canadian gave the face to the generation that would take over the circuit. It was 2019 and he was preparing to attack the generation led by the “Big 3”
Good afternoon! We will start the live stream of Roland Garros round of 16 match matches Carlos Alcaraz together Felix Auger-Aliassimewho seems to have rediscovered his best level in Paris
