Carlos Alcaraz He has a match ahead of him today that is a final and that will have a deferred resolution, since his result against Alexander Zverev, 27 years old and 2 in the world, it will not be final, whether he wins or loses, until the conclusion of the match between Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud (not before 8:30 p.m.). This is the Masters Cup, an exclusive tournament that offers second chances despite initial mistakes, and also penalizes even when you win. And for example, Kei Nishikori, who qualified for the penultimate match with a single win in 2016; and Rafael Nadal, who was left out of the qualifiers in 2019 despite beating Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
But Alcaraz forgets about calculators for the moment, who completes an hour of training with Andres Martin in the previous session without a band-aid on his nose. He lost against Ruud (6-1 and 7-5), but concluded against Andrey Rublev (6-4 and 7-6 (8)) that he can win even when sick and hopes to be able to get even a little more against the German. Zverev is strong, leader of victories for the year and also in this group is John Newcombe in which he has beaten Rublev (6-4 and 6-4) and Casper Ruud (7-6 (3) and 6-3), which which revolutionized the accounts and leaves the resolution for the end of the night’s match between the Russian and the Norwegian.
Alcaraz-Zverev is one of those matches that promise popcorn due to the intensity with which both play. With an excellent serve, the German gets many free points, but he is not far behind this Alcaraz at the end of the course, who won 37 of 44 points with his first serve against Rublev and achieved ten direct serves.
In addition, they know each other well, because this will be the eleventh duel between them with which they will break the tie. At the moment, Zverev triumphed in five: first round of Acapulco 2021 (6-3 and 6-1), semifinals of Vienna 2021 (6-3 and 6-3), quarterfinals of Roland Garros 2022 (6-4, 6-4, 4-6 and 7-6 (7)), 2023 Masters Cup (6-7 (3), 6-3 and 6-4) and 2024 Australian Open quarterfinals (6-1, 6-3, 6-7 (2) and 6-4). And for Alcaraz there have been five other victories: final of Madrid 2022 (6-3 and 6-1), round of 16 of Madrid 2023 (6-1 and 6-2), quarterfinals of the US Open (6-3, 6- 2 and 6-4), quarterfinals of Indian Wells 2024 (6-3 and 6-1) and the final of Roland Garros 2024 (6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1 and 6-2 ).
