He has never made it past the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam, but the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz appears as the sensation of Roland Garros, who aspires to see a breath of fresh air after years of domination by the “big 3”.
With little more than 19 years, the brilliant start to the season that the native of Murcia has starred in has placed him fully on the path of great legends that have been shown to the world on Parisian clay.
Alcaraz has been chosen to close the Sunday opening day on center court. The Spanish the Argentine Juan Ignacio Londero is measured in the last turn, rescued from the previous phase.
Es the great claim of a day that begins with a softer program but that must have bright names to attract the public. Alcaraz appears in the center while the German Alexander Zverev, the other big name of the day, will do so on the Suzanne Lenglen, the second most important track.
The pull of the Spanish is indisputable and this edition of Roland Garros appears for him as a springboard, but also as a revalidation exam.
