Carlos Alcaraz He has reached six semifinals of his last seven Grand Slam tournaments. The exception was the last Australian Open, where they reached the quarterfinals match Alexander Zverev. Although he will change that very good statistic, especially at 21 years old: “That data is good, but more in the finals,” he noted.
He doesn’t compete to reach the privilege rounds, he approaches each tournament “thinking we can win it.” There is ambition, from the privileged physical and tennis conditions, underlined in these weeks. He conquered Roland Garros, his form points to a reassertion of the crown at Wimbledon.
He overcame difficult obstacles, he lost Frances Tiafoe one set to two, 40-40, 0-30. On the brink of the abyss, but he responded with quality. “Most games depend on me,” he admitted. He was a dominant tennis player, one who wrote the script, “for better and for worse,” he pointed out.
He is close to a new Grand Slam final, and he has won the three he has played. He felt in a privileged position. So he and his team work not to raise the euphoria too much, to betray the daily routine that an event in this category advises. Alcaraz could not forgive himself for the mistake of being overconfident.
His coach alerts him, Juan Carlos Ferrero. “The sensations are good. Mainly because he can solve the problems he is having, the other day he went a bit over his limit. Tiafoe. Against Paul he had solved it earlier. Yes, the feeling is good and he is very focused on the game together Medvedev. “We have to try not to think about the title, which I think is something that is still very far away with three very difficult possible rivals.”
The technician considers that “outside you see easier than us, we see more dangers.” Ferrero was waiting for the stages to burn little by little, this is how he sent it to his electric pupil, which quickly lit up.
There is a precedent of 6-3, 6-3 and 6-3 against Medvedev in the last edition of Wimbledon, as well as in the semifinals. “Then he beat us in the semifinals of the US Open, which says a lot about him. I think the losses don’t affect him, but rather it helps him to try to improve. I’m sure that on Friday he will try Something different from last year, obviously the matches before this influence, because you will know the strengths and weaknesses of the players like last year,” said Ferrero.
On Friday, it was time for Medvedev, without looking at Sunday, for a reunion Novak Djokovic or a surprise final match Lorenzo Musetti. Alcaraz could not fall into that temptation. “The players can’t think more, only on the next game. I think it’s a mistake on his part (Carlos), on the part of everyone (the team). I think Medvedev is a player who earned the respect of all players. sinful. Carlos, it’s true that he plays very differently compared to Jannick in terms of playing style, which I think will hurt Medvedev more in that regard. But, well, concentrated to the maximum and with the utmost care.”
