a congested Carlos Alcaraz today he has the first final of his Masters Cup. The opening defeat against Casper Ruud forces him to beat Andrey Rublev today if he wants to have any chance of continuing in the tournament. And it is difficult, as his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, said, but you have to play it.
Alcaraz fights against his own body, trapped in a chill that has him gripped by the lungs, preventing him from breathing normally and, therefore, recovering between points. Something he will need in this match against the Russian, who also needs victory after losing on the first day against Alexander Zverev (6-4 and 6-4).
The Murcian has a head-to-head tie with Rublev, whom he beat just a year ago on this court in the group stage (7-5 and 6-2), and against whom he lost in the quarterfinals in Madrid this year ( 4-6, 6-3 and 6-2).
“Tomorrow [por hoy] It’s going to be difficult to be one hundred percent. And Rublev is a player who moves you and you have to have very good legs and right now that is what is costing Carlos a little. Recover between point and point. Let’s see. Rublev also lost, he has the need to win. He is going to come out with a knife, knowing that Carlos is not physically one hundred percent at first. It’s a mystery. Let’s see how he recovers his body and if tomorrow he finds something better, try to give everything he has inside. There is no other option. It’s difficult, but…” said Ferrero after suspending training ten minutes into the rest day.
