MUMBAI : Tennis officials will dish out stricter punishments for on-court misconduct, the ATP warned players in an internal note on Monday as the men's governing body also simultaneously reviews its guidelines to clamp down on repeat offenders.
Después de un largo intercambio, mostrando una madurez impropia para su edad, el 17 de abril de 2005, Rafa Nadal, ante Argentine Guillermo Coria, lograba su primer torneo Masters 1.000. Sobre la tierra de Montecarlo, donde se dejaba caer fruto de la emoción, con 18 años y 318 días. 6-3, 6-1, 0-6 y 7-5 en tres horas y nueve minutos que ya son historia, que la empezaban: el primer bocado a un trofeo de tanta entidad, a uno icónico, además, en la superficie de la que terminaría siendo rey absoluto. Símbolo de una precocidad que está de moda en el mundo del deporte. Cada vez es más habitual ver a jóvenes talentos reinando en las competiciones más importantes. La palabra prodigio, sin ir más lejos, se está pronunciando y escribiendo más que nunca. El balear, el tenista con más grandes de la historia, siempre será uno de sus máximos representantes, pero la lista aumenta. Y con más alegrías nacionales.
El título de, primero de Masters 1.000 para Alcaraz y tercero de categoría ATP de su incipiente carrera, pone al murciano a un paso del top-10 con sólo 18 años. Desde este lunes aparecerá en el puesto 11 de la clasificación con 3.411 puntos, 57 más que el 12º, el italiano, y a 29 del 10º, el británico Cameron Norrie, que irrumpe por primera vez entre los diez mejores de la clasificación en detrimento del polaco Hubert Hurkacz.
Carlos Alcaraz capped a dream run at the Miami Open with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Norwegian world number eight Casper Ruud in the final on Sunday to secure the biggest win of his young career. The 18-year-old Alcaraz earned his first ATP Masters 1000 crown and is the first Spanish man to triumph in Miami after eight previous final appearances by his compatriots, including five by Rafa Nadal. "I have no words to describe how I feel," Alcaraz said after he replaced Novak Djokovic as the youngest champion in the 37-year-old tournament's history. "But it's so special to win my Masters 1000 here in Miami."
Daniil Medvedev will be out of action for one or two months as he goes under the knife to fix a hernia problem, the world number two said on Saturday, casting doubt over his participation at next month's French Open. Medvedev, who won the US Open last year and lost in the Australian Open final to Rafa Nadal in January, will likely miss out on this month's Monte Carlo Masters as well as the ATP 1000 events in Madrid and Rome in May. "The last months I have been playing with a small hernia. Together with my team I have decided to have a small procedure done to fix the problem," world number two Medvedev wrote on Twitter.
