After sealing his pass to the semifinals of the United States Open, Carlos Alcaraz stood out on Tuesday that, for his game, body language is key so that the opponent understands that he will have to suffer a lot if he wants to leave him out of the last great Slam of the season.
Alcaraz beat Czech Jiri Leheckka on Tuesday 6-4, 6-2 and 6-4 to return two years later to semifinals in New York. The Spanish, who has not given up a single set in his five games played, said he feels strong and confident.
“The way in which way between points, with attitude, showing that I am fresh and physically well, is very important for the opponent to know that he will sweat a lot and run a lot if he wants to win me,” he said at the press conference after the meeting played at the Arhur Ashe stadium.
The 22 -year -old tennis player, winner of five Grand Slams, explained that the tennis players play a “Bambalin” parallel match that is played on the court, where body language is key to taking the victory.
“How you show the rival how you feel is very important. It doesn't matter if you feel exhausted, if you are very tired or think that you cannot follow. If you show the opponent that you are fresh, that you can play two, three or more hours, that you can maintain long exchanges, you are transmitting the idea that it will be very difficult.”
Alcaraz now has two days off before his semifinals on Friday, in which he will face the winner of this Wednesday between the Serbian Novak Djokovic, four times winner of this contest, and the American Taylor Fritz.
“I feel very comfortable, I have played a practically perfect game. Maybe the best, for the moment, for the rival. I am hitting the ball very well and I feel very well physically. In order to go to a semifinal of 'Grand Slam' that gives you a lot of peace of mind and confidence,” Alcaraz concluded.
