The Murcian seeks to get into the semifinals of the Paris tournament for the first time in his career
The Murcian tennis player Carlos Alcaraz advances steadily on the clay of Roland Garros and is already in the quarterfinals. Opposite will be the German Alexander Zverev, number 3 in the world. The one from El Palmar and the one from Hamburg were the protagonists of the final of the Mutua Madrid Open that was played at the beginning of May. In this last match between the two, Alcaraz swept his rival off the court and took the title in the Spanish capital in another demonstration that he is up there with the best in the world.
In their previous meeting, at the Vienna ATP 500 in 2021, the German was able to beat Carlitos in the tournament semifinal. It was in October, seven months have passed since then and, as could be seen in Madrid and in this almost immaculate 2022, Alcaraz is another tennis player. Maturity, solidity in the game, capacity for suffering and overcoming bad moments are some of the facets that the Murcian has improved, who already focuses the attention of the whole world on the racket sport.
Alcaraz’s path to the quarterfinals at Roland Garros has been firm. The victories against Korda in the third round and against Khachanov in the round of 16 showed that the Murcian is more than ready to continue making history in a best-of-five set tournament. In addition, in the French capital Carlitos has also known how to suffer and survive in a match like the second round against Albert Ramos, in which the rival from El Palmar even had a match point to win the game and send Alcaraz home . It was not like that, the pupil of Juan Carlos Ferrero grew as the tournament passed and now he meets the third best tennis player of the moment.
Zverev traveled a path similar to that of Carlos Alcaraz until the quarterfinals where both will face each other. With a second round match where things got very complicated against Argentinian Sebastián Báez, where the German had to come back from two sets to win, the rest of the matches have been his from start to finish. The rematch of the Madrid final comes just three weeks later and Alcaraz and Zverev will repeat one of the best matches that can be seen in the world of tennis today.
