He left no room for doubt Carlos Alcarath in Talon Grisspor, as he went… over him by winning 2-0 sets (6-1, 6-2) and advanced to the round of 16 of the China Open (ATP 500).
The match had short rallies and the Spanish ace took advantage of his formidable forehand at every opportunity, which helped the 21-year-old tennis player beat the Dutchman in less than an hour and more specifically in 57 minutes!
In fact, this victory of his was the 200 or and the only one who has achieved something similar in history is John McEnroea sample of his talent and great abilities.
Of course, it didn’t take this victory and this particular achievement to compare Alkarath with the holy monsters of tennis. The Spaniard this year has already won two Grand Slams (Roland Garros and Wimbledon), while also winning the silver medal at the Olympic Games and now wants to make the best possible finish to the season.
In the quarter-finals of the tournament, he will face Karen Khachanov, while in the other matches for the “8” of the tournament tomorrow (30/9) Shiner-Lehetska, Rublev or Fokina-Bu and Kompoli-Medvedev will duel.
