The Spanish Carlos Alcaraznumber 1 in the world, ran over the Greek 6-2, 6-1 and 7-6 (5) Stefanos Tsitsipas and was quoted in the semifinals of Roland Garros with the Serbian Novak Djokovic, considered the early final of the tournament.
It will be the second semifinal that Alcaraz has played in a Grand Slam, the first in Paris, in the match that will face the winners of the last two majors and the two best tennis players of the moment.
Tsitsipas, finalist of the last Australian Open, succumbed with a bang before his executioner in the final in Barcelona, an unappealable defeat that leaves consequences.
The wind that whipped the track was a gale on the Spaniard’s racket, determined to frighten the Greek, to show him that over the months the distance between the two has widened in his favor.
Thus he received an intensity of fire, he snatched the service in the third game and, in half an hour as a Swiss watchmaker, he placed a set below and with the moral eaten.
Alcaraz was battling against the Greek, yes, he is still a very talented tennis player, four of the world for something, but above all he seemed concerned with entertaining the public, that the show does not decline despite the fact that the score did not give rise to suspense.
If the first set was dizzying, the second did not have a breather either and barely consumed an hour and dominated 4-1while the Greek, arms akimbo, crooked gesture, laconic look, resigned himself a little more to his role as a troupe, encouraged by the respectable who hoped that the show would not end so soon.
Without tools to solve the punishment, Tsitsipas got muddy on the clay where two years ago he let a final escape after winning the first two sets against Djokovic.
The closing of the second set was a good example of the hellen’s madness, admonished by the referee for his delay in serving and with a double fault.
Willing to dispatch him as soon as possible, Carlos Alcaraz went up 3-0, after winning seven consecutive games, but he got tangled up in the final stretch and after wasting two match points at 5-2, he gave up his only service of the duel and the anxiety of the victory led him to waste a third, this time at 5-4.
Headed for the tiebreaker game, with the threat that the prospect of a fourth set would give wings to Tsitsipas, Alcaraz immediately gained the advantage, although he needed three more match points to close the duel in 2 hours and 12 minutes.
