Carlitos Apura at home, its maximum comfort zone, its tuning for the American tour, which will have the last Grand Slam of the season, the US Open.
Carlitos has been exercised in The club manga next to, among others, Rafa segadotennis player who met in the Ferrero Academy. From this Wednesday, he trains at the Royal Society Club de Campo de El Palmar, his hometown and the one that returns every time the loaded calendar of the ATP. He will work in the place where he gave his first boy as a child until next week, which will be when he sets for the United States.
Monday will cross the Atlantic Ocean For the dispute of Masters 1,000 Cincinnati First and the US open later. Along the way it has been absent from the 1,000 masters Toronto due to slight muscle discomfort and also due to the impossibility of fitting on the three mentioned tournaments. The competition in Toronto began on July 27 and has the final set for August 7, a Thursday, something strange considering that the ATP usually celebrates the finals on Sunday.
The saturation begins precisely that day, since on August 7 the first round of the next 1,000 masters in Cincinnati is disputed. That is to say, The last game in Toronto and the first round in Cincinnati They will be played on the same day. This translated that if Alcaraz reached the final in Canada, he would only have two or three days of rest before debuting in the United States to face, in case of reaching the final, six other games.
Alcaraz aspires to number one
And the final in Cincinnati, by the way, falls on Monday 18, one day before the date set by the US Open for the development of His renewed mixed doubles in which Alcaraz competes with Raducanu. Set for August 19 and 20. Only four days later the US Open starts, which Alcaraz had arrived cast. His decline in Toronto, tennis things, allows him to cut points to Sinner In the ATP ranking. The 200 that the Italian defended for the quarterfinals last year.
Jannik Nor has it presented in Toronto and loses the aforementioned amount, but not Alcaraz, who also did not compete there in 2024 and therefore had no loot to safeguard. The distance could be reduced even moresince in the next tournament, Cincinnati, Alcaraz fell to the first exchange and Sinner defends title. Everything that is not winning the tournament would be loss of points for the Italian.
And then the US Open will arrive in which it was also eliminated in the first rounds while Sinner also defends Corona. In other words, if Jannik did not revalid the two titles, he would have a bleeding of more than 3,000 points. Golden opportunity for Carlitos to assault the throne of world tennis. It depends on yourself. If the two mentioned tournaments are taken, it will be the best ranking racket regardless of the Italian result.
