Carlos Alcaraz (ATP 9) does not give Olympic champion Alexander Zverev (ATP 3) a chance in the Masters 1000 final on clay in Madrid. The Spanish teenager needed just over an hour to beat the defending champions from Germany (6:3, 6:1). Zverev is exhausted in the final at Kaga Magica after taking a semi-final win over Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas at 1:09 am.
However, this did not detract from Alcaraz’s outstanding performance. The 1.85-meter right-hander defeated former Rafael Nadal (in the quarter-finals) and Novak Djokovic (in the semi-finals) on the way to his fourth win of the tournament, the second-highest (after Miami early). April). No player has ever done this on clay before.
“There are no limits to Carlos Alcaraz. Rafael Nadal ruled Madrid for fifteen years. Zverev said before the final that then clearly lost. In 2021, the German managed to win two more sets in two against the youngster, who will appear sixth in the rankings just four days after his 19th birthday: 6:3, 6:1 in Acapulco (hard) and 6:3, 6:3 in Vienna (internal).
