An amazing Carlos Alcaraz21 years old and world No. 3, sought revenge against the Italian Jannik Sinner23 and No. 1, in the Beijing ATP final defeating the Russian Daniel Medvedev 28 years old and No. 5, by 7-5 and 6-3 in 1h.27′-
The Spaniard has done his job in the semi-finals, it remains for Sinner, his executioner in the ‘semi’ in the Chinese capital last season, to fulfill his prediction against the surprising Chinese. Buyunchaokete Bu at his party.
The new classic is shaping up for this Wednesday, not before 11 am. This could be the tenth episode in between Alcaraz and Sinner, with the Murcian’s current dominance of 5-4, including two matches this season, the final of Indian Wells and the penultimate round of Roland Garros.
Alcaraz has overcome great challenges. If Sinner is the rival, no problem, although most would choose Bu without a second thought. The student of Juan Carlos Ferrero He is proving to be in the form that allowed him to dominate at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Again he played a fantastic match, with points as well as complaints, his and Medvedev’s, in a complete match, which had everything. A delight for the audience.
Alcaraz again influenced the chair umpire, this time the Swede Mohamed Lahyani, that the automatic start system of the 25″ delivery does not meet the demands of tennis, which according to the exchange should start later.
Medvedev It had another controversy over the electronic hawkeye arbitration system. “Don’t buy it,” he snapped at the television camera, addressing everyone because there is no option to check a stock in the middle of a point.
The dressing in a total tennis. Mana from an Alcaraz on a streak. Eighth straight victory, he will play his fifth course final after winning Indian Wells, Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Lost for gold in Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
He reached 25 wins, making only 14 unforced errors in a very aggressive match, having to take risks to avoid giving ground to his rival. Medvedev accumulated 17 hits and 15 misses. He ends up succumbing to Alcaraz’s superiority, of all places. The Russian had a ‘kamikaze’ duel at the start, the others prevailed on serve as they overwhelmed each other. A short ball was penalized immediately. Five breaks in the opening set, for the third time (6-5) the Spaniard never lost the advantage, closing 7-5 in 48 minutes.
Alcaraz keeps the bar very high, for variety and intensity. The ‘highlights’ followed each other. Medvedev suffered. Physically too, because after the support when serving he twisted his face and put his hand on the thigh of his left leg. Having just had a ‘break’, the Russian asked the physio to step in.
Alcaraz’s bruise was tied, he went to the final with calmness and efficiency. His sixth victory over Medvedev, in eight meetings. Fourth in a row. This demoralized Medvedev, who covered his mouth to speak at length with Alcaraz at the net. One and the other will laugh.
It was a complete match, from start to finish. A gift.
