The Murcian debuts on the London grass against the number 158 in the world
The great date arrives for the Murcian tennis player Carlos Alcaraz in the British capital. Wimbledon kicks off for Juan Carlos Ferrero’s pupil, a special tournament for all racket sport lovers. The first rival for the one from El Palmar will be the German Jan-Lennard Struff, number 158 in the world, against whom he faces this Monday in the first round.
Carlitos arrives in London with hardly any filming on grass, a surface that the Murcian has not yet taken the measure of. It is logical, he is still 19 years old and has only participated once in Wimbledon. But, in addition, in recent weeks there have been some unexpected discomforts in the elbow of his right arm that have further removed Carlos Alcaraz from the green surface.
He ended up with discomfort at Roland Garros and the pain did not allow him to play at Queen’s. He has proven himself in two exhibitions in Hurlingham, with a bandage in the area, and both ended with a loss in two sets, both against the Frenchman Tiafoe and this Saturday against Ruud (7-6 and 6-2). It doesn’t seem that the Wimbledon date comes at the best time for the one from El Palmar, but if Carlos Alcaraz has shown something, it is that he doesn’t shrink even in the face of the greatest adversity.
The path of the Murcian in the London tournament is full of traps, so much so that he would face Novak Djokovic in a hypothetical quarterfinal. But the first ‘battle’ comes this Monday against Struff, a tennis player who lands in the British capital lacking rhythm and with few games this year. He step by step, gaining confidence and security on the London grass and with the aggressiveness that characterizes him on the track. Those must be the first goals to meet for a Carlos Alcaraz who dreams of doing something nice again, this time at Wimbledon.
