Alcaras is Eliminated in the Australian Open Tennis Quarterfinals… 1-3 Loss to Zverev
Last year’s Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaras (2nd place, Spain) was eliminated in the men’s singles quarterfinals of the Australian Open tennis tournament (total prize money of 86.5 million Australian dollars, approximately 76.1 billion won).
Alcaras defeated Alexander Zverev (6th place, Germany) 1-3 (1-6 3-6 7-6<7-2> 4-6) in the men’s singles quarterfinals on the 11th day of the tournament held in Melbourne, Australia on the 24th lost. 메이저사이트
Carlos Alcaras
Carlos Alcaras, a rookie born in 2003 who won the 2022 US Open and last year’s Wimbledon,
was designated as a candidate to check Novak Djokovic’s (No. 1, Serbia) championship challenge in this tournament,
but failed to overcome the quarterfinals barrier.
Alcaras, who was slightly inferior to Zverev with a record of 3 wins and 4 losses,
recently suffered two consecutive losses to Zverev.
Zverev will face Daniil Medvedev (3rd place, Russia) in the semifinals.
As a result, the men’s singles semifinal matchup in this tournament was condensed to the matches between Djokovic and Jannik Sinner (4th place, Italy) and Medvedev and Zverev.
Carlos Alcaras, who gave up the first set 29 minutes into the match,
was disappointed that he was unable to break the opponent’s serve game,
leading with a game score of 3-2 in the second set.
Alexander Zverev
At this time, Alcaras had the opportunity to double break point in Zverev’s serve game at 15-40,
but missed the opportunity to run away with 4-2 by conceding 4 consecutive goals.
Rather, he gave up his subsequent serve games at the end of two deuces,
and the flow of the game completely shifted to Zverev’s side.
Alcaras, who was in deep defeat in the 3rd set with a game score of 2-5,
made a dramatic comeback by winning 3 games, and seemed to be laying the foundation for a comeback by taking the 3rd set at the end of a tiebreak.
However, with the game score of 4-4 in the 4th set, 3 backhand mistakes were made in a row,
allowing a break, and the game could not be advanced to the 5th set.
Zverev advanced to the semifinals of a major tournament for the seventh time in his career.
At the Australian Open, he returned to the semifinals for the first time in four years since the semifinals in 2020,
and his best result in a major tournament is runner-up at the 2020 US Open.
Ahead of the opening of this competition, there was negative news that he would be tried in Germany in May this year on charges of abusing his ex-lover, Brenda Patea, who was a model,
but he showed no heed and showed his potential by defeating Alcaras.
The women’s singles semifinals will be held first on the 25th, and the men’s singles semifinals will be held on the 26th.
