Go ahead that there are many big names linked to honors to Wimbledon. And some of them, like Novak Djokovic, still active and with the possibility of increasing his already historic palmarés. But if the Philippe-Chaatrrier has ended up becoming a pilgrimage place for 'Nadalism', the corter of the All England Club, who knows, one day could be the cathedral to which Carlos Alcaraz's acolytes attend.
Because the Murcian in London is crazy. He is 22 years old, he looks for his third title and even when he does not get his best tennis … he wins. Before Rublev, a new example. He had put a task to improve the service, remember that of Queen's … and after staying 'half' in the first three rounds, signed the second best game of his entire career: 22 'Aces'.
A comeback that already places it in the quarterfinals, where Cameron Norrie expects, and that He confirms it as the big favorite to the title … although other names such as Sinner or Djokovic are shining. Points like the one he achieved to break and direct the third set are those that cause the idyll of the Murcian with the British public.
He knows that it is his great opportunity to win Wimbledon. With the pickle that has reduced the female picture, Aryna Sabalenka (or Swiatek) is planted as the great option to be imposed next Saturday. The Belarusian, who is looking for her first crown in London, won the rebel Elise Mertens in two sets. “Everything is possible. It is a very beautiful tournament and I have always dreamed of winning it,” he warned after his victory.
Carlos Alcaraz's rival in the quarterfinals will be the British Cameron Norrie. The last local representative in the individual paintings after the elimination, this morning, of Kartal. Chilean Jarry won in an impressive four -hour game where there was a couple of 'breaks'. The 103 'Winners' and 46 'Aces' of Jarry were not enough to stop the constant and tireless Norrie, who only signed 26 errors not forced in five sleeves.
No one talks about Taylor Fritz… But the American is already in rooms. And arrives after 'solving' his ballot against Thompson in 41 minutes. The Australian retired on the way to 2-0 and delivered the pass to a Fritz that will measure Khachanov in the next round. After Perricard, Diallo and Davidovich, it was the 'Aussie' who succumbed to the number five in the world. Possible Alcaraz rival in the semifinals.
