Carlos Alcaraz he won the first set of his match against the Frenchman Givoanni Mpetshi Perricard by 6-4 in 44 minutes. He managed the break achieved in the first game against the rival of his generation, 21 years old and capable of serving at a speed of 240 km/h.
He suffered in the last game, when he found himself at 0-40, three break points. It was a moment of pause. Too much for the Romanian chair umpire’s taste Raluca Andrei, who watched a 25″ clock to release.
“Warning,” said the referee for exceeding the service time. Alcaraz had a bad face, but it didn’t go any further because he still had important work to do. I was saving break balls, and the set ball went in favor.
And the action was repeated by the chair umpire, who decided that Alcaraz had exceeded the service time, and was penalized again. Second time, he was left without first serve. Next will be the point.
Alcaraz couldn’t stop, and he went straight to the chair umpire. “I don’t know how to play tennis like this. This is not tennis,” the Murcian told him. He insisted: “What is this, a 100 meter dash?” “You can’t play tennis this way,” stressed the Spaniard.
The set was tied, he asserted these arguments Raluca Andrei, in Spanish, a Romanian-dominated language. Having won the set somewhat calmed Alcaraz, who was furious: “Twice in the same game!”
