Carlos Alcaraz He now has, at the age of 21, another minor conquest on his record. He added his first victory in a Laver Cup, the European tournament against the Rest of the World sponsored and controlled by the Swiss. Roger Federer as a golf Ryder Cup moved annually to the ATP professional circuit.
He inaugurated his competition record in his unmistakable fashion. Ignite spirits in his virguerías, his vast catalog of resources. A capacity for inventiveness that drives rivals crazy and puts stances on edge. As was the case at the Uber Arena in Berlin, to the delight of the Murcian antics.
It didn’t take twenty-four hours for Alcaraz to get his revenge. Nothing can erase your smile at a unique experience surrounded by legends like Federer himself, Rod Laver or the captains Bjorn Borg and John McEnroebut he is a winner, and he did not like having a debut with a loss, even if it was in doubles with the German Alexander Zverev.
He wants personal revenge. He has it. He managed to defeat one of his executioners on Friday, the American Ben Shelton21-year-old left-hander and world No. 17. A serious threat on indoor courts and on a hard surface, although one that can be played well. There is no emergency. The ball did not fly.
Alcaraz won by 6-4 and 6-4 in 1h.43′ to Shelton, who has a recital at the level of Roland Garros and Wimbledon champion this season. In the Davis Cup he took the courage he had left in the terrible tour of the United States, where he came burned by the constant efforts of Paris, London and again Roland Garros at the Olympic Games in the French capital .
Renewed vitality, enjoying the Laver Cup. “I am very happy to be part of the European team,” he repeated in front of a fan dedicated to his tennis. It is as powerful as it is brilliant. A complete show as Shelton contributes his power and also aims for drop shots, lobs or other effects from below the legs. Showing themselves driven by their competitiveness.
There was a lot of fighting, even though ATP points were not distributed for ranking. They are from the same generation, they want to mark the land. And Alcaraz did it, very well. He puts Shelton’s serve on the ropes. There are many left, He caught 2 of 11 break balls. He developed many possibilities, he had the patience and perseverance to take advantage of both. This may seem like a low percentage statistic, but it is pure gold against an opponent like the North American.
Alcaraz broke the tie by winning the seventh game of the match after ten minutes, six break balls. He broke Shelton’s serve, he certainly let himself go. He showed total tennis. While he destroys his opponent, he is unable to overcome the many and varied arts. And he didn’t hesitate at critical moments: he held his serve throughout the match, coming back from four break points, a couple before he took control of the match.
An exciting Alcaraz how much is left, from the next Asian tour to ATP Finals in Turin and the Final 8 of the Davis Cup. It gives the impression that he has recharged his batteries, something he doesn’t usually achieve in the final months of the campaign. Learning every day, improving without stopping.
