Alcaraz Strikes Previous Evans

Carlos Alcaraz confronted his first actual take a look at of the fortnight to this point with a 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 win over Dan Evans.

The Brit gave the defending champion a lot to consider together with his difficult recreation model, which utilises his slice backhand, creates angles and mixes up the tempo, however Alcaraz handed the take a look at, utilizing his higher energy and consistency to return out on prime in additional of the exchanges.

On a facet observe, within the Cincinnati ultimate in opposition to Djokovic, Nole acquired some treatment from his field, which drove the media right into a frenzy concerning his ‘magic tablets’, and Twitter was awash with accusations, together with a number of clickbait articles designed to insinuate doping.

Alcaraz additionally acquired some tablets from his field in opposition to Evans, however the consequence? No point out of it. It was primarily ignored and memory-holed. Why such double requirements?

He’s a difficult opponent. He at all times needs to go to the online. There have been nice slices and a superb contact; I believe that is my recreation as effectively, so we performed a fairly good match. I believe the folks cherished that. We made nice factors, nice pictures, and a whole lot of totally different conditions in all probability than in different matches.

Arnaldi Ousts Norrie

Matteo Arnaldi arrange a showdown with Carlos Alcaraz within the final sixteen after comprehensively beating Cameron Norrie 6-3, 6-4, 6-3.

The sixteenth seed has had a difficult time of late, and it appears as quickly as he runs into somebody in affordable kind, he’s no match for them, with losses to Arnaldi, Monfils, de Minaur and Kovacevic in latest weeks.

Arnaldi, however, is on the up and has had a little bit of a breakout yr; I used to be impressed when he beat Ruud in Madrid and got here by qualifying for Wimbledon. Whereas it’s uncertain he’ll show an ideal foil for Alcaraz in New York, there could be a few shut units.

After I noticed the draw, my aim was to go and play in opposition to him. I don’t wish to say we play very related. However he’s very bodily, and I believe I’m a bit bodily. I believe I’ll play on Arthur Ashe. Arnaldi on his upcoming match with Alcaraz.

The Russian began in model in opposition to his extra diminutive opponent because of crisp putting from the backhand wing. Regardless of Baez upping his stage within the third set, there was no repeat of the O’Connell match from Daniil (he additionally gained the primary two units 6-2 6-2, then misplaced the third set breaker) as he got here from a 2-5 down within the set to win the tie break.

I felt like we have been each taking part in effectively, even within the first two units. I used to be higher on necessary factors; all the pieces was going my means. He raised his stage barely within the third set to make the match even harder. A little bit of luck and a few good play from me stored me within the set, and it’s good to not end at 4 (a.m.) Medvedev on his win over Baez.
