Carlos Alcaraz qualified for the final of the ATP 500 tournament in Beijing after losing Daniel Medvedev by 7-5 and 6-3. The Spaniard is starting to become a nightmare for the Russian, whom he has beaten the last four times, three so far this season. The overall record extends the Murcian advantage, which is 6-2 with the Monegasque-based Muscovite.
Alcaraz excelled in tennis against Medvedev, offering good resistance in the first set. A very good partial game, competed to the maximum.
The outcome was reminiscent of recent occasions, with Alcaraz gradually punishing Medvedev, until he was KO’d.
After the clash, the Russian spoke with the Spaniard online. He covered his lips with his hand, although he later revealed that he had told his rival, at which point they ended up greeting each other with laughter.
“I told Carlos that in the next game I’m going to dye my hair blonde and put ‘Botic’ on it,” she said, pointing to her chest, just as she did on the court with Alcaraz.
Botic, the name of the Dutch tennis player Botic Van de Zandschulp, the last executioner of Carlos Alcaraz, in the second round of the US Open. Since then, eight consecutive wins.
“Maybe this will help. Today I played pretty well, but I didn’t see how I could beat him on a day when I was inspired. In the next game I have to try something. Maybe he will be confused a little. But this is of course just a joke,” he said.
