Carlos Alcaraz He defeated again Jannik Sinnerfor the fourth consecutive time, seventh in his eleven confrontations, to conquer the 1,000 masters from Rome. It was imposed by 7-6 (7/5) and 6-1 in a match in which, in part, he had to give up what it is, which is still a virtue that sometimes lacks.
Sinner and Alcaraz face their face to face knowing that it is not one more. The Italian, number one in the world, dominates the circuit as he wants since last season, and wins as if nothing practically all the tennis players … except Spanish. Carlos, something more irregular in his results but also more talented with the racket, usually sweeps by force that he puts ahead, with his incontestable right. He is the most fun tennis player to see, who goes to the network to close the points, leaves, invents things. Of course there was that in the final of the Italic forum, but more content than other times because this time the opponent was Sinner. Even the shouts controlled them. Only Spanish had a moment of liberation when In the first set I was going down 5-6 and had to save two break ballsand partially, and suffered for eight minutes to force the Trebreak. Until that time, all celebrations were with their bench with their bench and showing teeth with rage, an already characteristic gesture.
Much respect
You have a lot of respect and know that everyone wants to see them face to face. They are the tennis of the present, and of the futurebecause if nothing happens they have many battles to dispute, with the young age they are, 23 for 24 Jannik and 22 recently complied with Carlos. Sinner usually folds by crushing to which he tries to play at pace with him. At times it seems a machine, from the way of returning all the balls to the gestures, just a wink, no smile. Alcaraz knows it and has even suffered, so he understands that in the duels against him for many moments he has to play something else. Without losing control, with order, with balls with a lot of effect, high, very tactical, lowering the speed so as not to enter the game of his rival. His interpretation of the meeting was perfect, although at first everything moved in equality. Sinner helped his serve a lot, better than that of the Murcian, and only faced a break in the first partial.
The two who had to defend Carlos commented at the beginning, at a time when the Italian tried to tighten more and the Murcia knew how to contain him, gave way to the tiebreaker that decided the partial and, practically, the party. It was perfect for the pupil of Juan Carlos Ferrero with good first serves, tried to answer Sinner, who was more powerful when the point became upside down, But Alcaraz took the magic with a balloon and a last point that ended with a volley. It was the first one he did in the game. It is a site that the Spanish dominates and loves, but against number one you have to select the moment. The same with those left, they looked perfect, but did not abuse them.
The circumstances made winning that first set similar to winning the match. Sinner arrived with some problems in the right leg, something logical after more than three months without competing for the sanction he met, and in the previous one he had already said that what would happen to the tournament was already good for him. The mountain was too high to fight it when that set gave. Alcaraz could already be more himself and wore. The partial began with a 0-30, and The Murcian saved that game with a blow that does not exist, an angle that sent the redhead of San Cándido to the fence. He had to put his hand not to collide with her. The fantasy arrived at the Italic Forum central, and it no longer left.
Alcaraz closes With the best sensations the tournaments prior to Roland Garrosthe great objective. He won in Montecarlo, was a finalist in Barcelona and the setback of having to miss Madrid due to physical problems has been more than forgotten in Rome. In Paris it will come out as a favorite and as a defender of the title, but surely there the version of Sinner will be even more resistant than today. He already told him in the trophies delivery, among laughs: “Surely in Paris I win.”
