PARIS :Carlos Alcaraz's meteoric rise continued on Friday when the Spanish prodigy produced yet another awe-inspiring performance to outplay American Sebastian Korda 6-4 6-4 6-2 and reach the last 16 of the French Open for the first time.
Eurosport expert Tim Henman said Carlos Alcaraz put on a clinic in his mauling of Sebastian Korda in the third round of the French Open. Korda had a recent win over Alcaraz to his name, the only defeat the Spaniard had suffered on clay this year, and it was predicted to be a tussle in the Paris evening on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Ad/> That battle never materialised, as Alcaraz dominated from start to finish in the 6-4 6-4 6-2 win.
Carlos Alcaraz produced top-drawer tennis to beat Sebastian Korda 6-4 6-4 6-2 to book his place in the fourth round of the French Open. Korda arrived in Paris as the only person to have beaten Alcaraz on clay this season and he put up an excellent fight, but the Spaniard’s level was extremely impressive as he claimed the win in two hours and six minutes. Ad/> Despite playing on the major stage, Alcaraz said his aim is to keep having fun on the tennis court.
Hacía ya unas semanas que no protagonizaba algún registro de precocidad y lo hizo este viernes en, al convertirse, con 19 años, en el más joven en alcanzar los octavos de final del torneo desde Novak Djokovic (19) en la edición de 2006. El murciano, que no había llegado tan lejos en el torneo, se tomó la revancha ante Sebastian Korda, que le había ganado el pasado mes de abril en Montecarlo. Esta vez le superó (ya lo hizo en las NextGen Finals de 2021) por 6-4, 6-4 y 6-2 en 2h06. El domingo se medirá con Karen Kachanov, que apeó al décimo favorito, Cameron Norrie (6-2, 7-5, 5-7 y 6-4). Será su primer duelo ante el ruso de 25 años y 26º del ranking.
Alcaraz ha dejado en la cuneta antes a Londero y a un Albert Ramos que estuvo cerca de eliminarle. Korda por su parte se deshizo de Millman primero y Gasquet después para alcanzar esta tercera ronda. Eso y más cosas, en la previa de nuestro enviado especial a París, Nacho Albarrán:
Britain’s Dan Evans was sent spinning out in the second round after a four-set defeat by Mikael Ymer.
Day six at the 2022 French Open will see Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev all in action. The highly anticipated trio of matches begin on Court Phillip-Chatrier when Djokovic faces Slovenia’s Aljaz Bedene. The world No.1 breezed through the opening two rounds, beating Yoshihito Nishioka and Alex Molcan to set up a third round tie with 195th-ranked Bedene.
Carlos Alcaraz and third seed Alexander Zverev both saved a match point in five-set French Open thrillers, while 13-time winner Rafael Nadal and reigning champion Novak Djokovic eased into the third round on Wednesday. Alcaraz, widely tipped as a title contender, rallied from the brink to defeat compatriot Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-1, 6-7 (7/9), 5-7, 7-6 (7/2), 6-4 after four hours and 34 minutes. "I feel tired," said Alcaraz. "It was a great battle, a great match and we fought until the last point." The 19-year-old Alcaraz is attempting to become just the eighth teenager to capture a major men's title, and backed as the man to break the stranglehold of Djokovic and Nadal. But he was pushed to the limit by the seasoned Ramos-Vinolas, 15 years his elder and whose best performance at a Grand Slam came when he made the quarter-finals in Paris six years ago.
