MADRID: Carlos Alcaraz has enjoyed a spectacular start to his career by winning a Grand Slam crown and three Masters 1000 titles as a teenager and the world No 2 said he dreams of becoming one of the game's all-time greats.
John McEnroe believes Holger Rune is «developing a reputation» with some of his behaviour, but the Dane is a «threat» to challenge at the French Open. The 20-year-old incurred the wrath of the crowd in the Spanish capital after a controversial line call and the events which followed. Ad Davidovich Fokina disagreed with a call made by the electronic line call and disputed the decision with umpire Carlos Bernardes and an ATP supervisor.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz on Wednesday moved into the Madrid Open semi-finals with a straight sets victory over Karen Khachanov in his final match as a teenager, while Iga Swiatek reached the women's last four. US Open winner Alcaraz, who turns 20 on Friday when the last-four ties are played, overturned 4-1 and 5-2 deficits in the second set to defeat 12th-ranked Khachanov, 6-4, 7-5. "Winning this match will give me a lot of confidence, Karen was at a great level and took me to the limit," said world number two Alcaraz who unleashed 31 winners.

From the central labyrinth of Madrid’s Metro system and right down the Yellow number 3 line to San Fermin-Orcasur station, there’s simply no escaping the gaze of Carlos Alcaraz en route to ‘The Magic Box’. The face of the world No.2 and reigning US Open champion lights up countless Metro advertisements while the ensuing stroll in red-hot midday sun along Avenida de los Fueros reveals occasional mural-type images and hanging banners of the Murcia-born starlet.
Iga Swiatek crushed Petra Martic 6-0 6-3 to make the last four at the Madrid Open, where she will face Veronika Kudermetova. It was another vintage display from the world No. 1, who gave Martic no room to breathe in the first set — earning her seventh bagel of the year — before wrapping up the victory in the second set.
Emma Raducanu said on Wednesday she will miss the French Open and Wimbledon as the British number one recovers from hand and ankle surgery. The 2021 US Open champion has been dogged by injury problems in recent months and pulled out of the Madrid Open in April with a hand injury. The 20-year-old, who has slipped to 85th in the world rankings, posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her right hand bandaged on her social media accounts.
Emma Raducanu looks set to miss the French Open and Wimbledon after undergoing surgery on both hands and her ankle. The British No. 1 has been managing a wrist injury for the last few months and withdrew from the Madrid Open last week shortly before her opening match.
