Carlos Alcaraz It is already in the Finals of the US Openafter defeating Arthur Rinderknech (7-6 (7/3), 6-3 and 6-4) in the first game in which Spanish had some real problems. The Frenchman is a very dangerous player, with a great serve and that gives little rhythm, but even in such an encounter the Spanish finds magic. In their racket are all the blows, those that exist and those that do not, the classics and those that are invented. That is why it is possibly the tennis player whom everyone wants to see play live today.
In the round of 16, there were several tricks that delight fans. The one who wore the most was a backafter the direction to which the ball went, but it passed. Only that resource remained, and the Murcian managed to put the racket and put the ball on the other side. The public stood up and Even Carlos, father, could not suppress a smile. He also showed a right passing with a doll, with the body fully stretched; A shot in which it seemed to break the ball and ended up stroking it as if it were a paddle match; Or it reached a counter slippery and cheating its opponent completely: it moved to a rinderknech direction while the ball took the opposite path.
Those alcaraz blows are more than details. Apart from giving show, add and mining the moral of the player on the other side of the track. This time Carlos did not have an opposite that decompose quickly. After passing the first round against Opelka, similar to this eighth match, number two in the world achieved two wins in which he was much higher from the first moment. Rinderknech, on the other hand, forced him not to lose concentration, supported by his good service. Alcaraz needed an hour and 20 minutes to break for the first time the serve of your opponent. It was the second set. The first was solved in the Tie-Break in which one of Juan Carlos Ferrero’s pupil’s jewels was seen, that passing with the wrist.
Alcaraz’s break altered the routine of the duel, because right after the first breakdown of the Galo tennis player also arrived. There were two. The first, the boy from El Palmar saved it with a winning right after a good service. The second, with an open serve, which was not direct, but practically, because his opponent could barely touch the ball. He saved the situation to place 5-2 in that second partial. A surgical break, with 4-4, gave it the advantage in the third set.
Leheckka, rival in rooms
Carlos “avenged” Spanish tennis, then Rinderknech had been the executioner of Roberto Carballés in the first round and Alejandro Davidovich in the second.

The world number two will now face Leheckka, number 21 of the world and against which he has already played twice this season.
