Carlos Alcaraz21 years old and world No. 3, completed his first rescue mission by defeat Tallon Griekspoor28 years old and number 40, 7-6 (0) and 6-3 in 1h.25′.
He is on a mission to prevent Rafa Nadal from retiring by qualifying Spain for the semi-finals of the Davis Cup. He made it 1-1 against the Netherlands. After the defeat of manacorí, 6-4 and 6-4 match Botic Van de Zandschulp, The Murcian changed the situation.
The responsibility did not weigh him down, although nerves prevented him from taking the path to victory earlier than is usually the case with Griekspor, whom he has already defeated five times, with a total of 11 sets played.
It was an emergency situation, it was solved by the current champion of Roland Garros and Wimbledon acting as No. 1 of the national team. Martín Carpena pushed from Málaga.
Alcaraz fulfilled, but the work was still hard and difficult. Singles is their thing, but Spain will have to decide in doubles. He will return to the track, with a margin of 30 minutes of rest, will make a duo with one of the best in the specialty, Marcel Granollersthat he already has success. On their debut against the Czech Republic in the group stage in Valencia, even in vain today. Heads or tails.
In front, an awkward duo, with Wesley Koolhoff who retired, and Botic Van from Zandschulp. At stake is a move to the semifinals, against either Canada or Germany, which will meet on Wednesday.
Alcaraz, who had a bad time last week at the ATP Finals in Turin with a cold is now more under control. He is very motivated, Rafael Nadal and because he wanted a ‘salad bowl’ which he didn’t have. The Spaniard has five of six in the history of Spanish tennis.
