MADRID — When Carlos Alcaraz played in his first Madrid Open as an 18-year-old, his goal was to gain experience and learn from the top players.
En una hora y dos minutos, y tras ceder cuatro juegos, puso este domingo el broche de oro a un grandísimo . En la final más corta y con tanteo más bajo de los 20 años de historia del torneo (6-3 y 6-1), el murciano se merendó al vigente campeón, ganador también en 2018,, que sólo había perdido dos partidos en la Caja Mágica (19-3 ahora), ninguno de ellos en el estadio Manolo Santana. Fue un visto y no visto, una especie de entrenamiento con público, con pocos intercambios largos y apenas grandes puntos, pero los 12.500 aficionados que abarrotaron la central disfrutaron al máximo de los 62 minutos de exhibición que ofreció Alcaraz para ganar el quinto título de su carrera, cuarto en 2022 (es el líder en ese apartado) y segundo de Masters 1.000 tras el de Miami. «Ahora mismo eres el mejor del mundo», le dijo Zverev, rendido, en la entrega de trofeos.
Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz raced to the Madrid Open title on Sunday, brushing aside German Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-1 in 62 minutes. The victory in just over an hour took the 19-year-old's winning streak to 10 matches. Alcaraz beat Rafael Nadal and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic on his way to the final -- a first in a clay court tournament -- and will climb to No. 6 in the world on Monday. "This tournament is special for me because it's a tournament I came and watched when I was seven or eight," said Alcaraz.
