Alcaraz Crushes Kecmanovic

In essentially the most one-sided of the day’s fourth-round matches, Carlos Alcaraz raced previous Miomir Kecmanovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-0 in a single hour and forty-nine minutes.

The Spaniard was a lot too good for the world quantity sixty, who entered the tie having performed back-to-back fiver setters towards Jan-Lennard Struff and Tommy Paul.

Whereas he competed exhausting within the first two units, limiting Alcaraz to at least one break in every, the third was a write-off as Alcaraz ramped up his recreation from the baseline, limiting the Serb to simply 12 factors within the set.

I believe all the things labored tonight. In Miami in 2022, it was a very shut match, a excessive degree from each of us. I believe immediately was a reasonably good match as effectively, however I pushed him to the restrict with each ball at each level. Clearly, he has performed a variety of matches in 5 units, a variety of robust matches earlier than this one, so in all probability bodily, he wasn’t at 100 per cent. Each ball, I pushed him to the restrict, moved him aspect to aspect. I took my probabilities in each set, and I believe it was a reasonably good match from myself. Alcaraz on his win over Kecmanovic
