Greek track cannot stunt Wimbledon in the second round against Alcaraz | NOW

Tallon groenpoor got stuck in the second round at Wimbledon. The Dutchman could not surprise the fifth seeded Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz on Wednesday: 4-6, 6-7 (0) and 3-6.

Greek track had another great win against Fabio Fognini in the opening round on Monday. He defeated the Italian in four sets. Last year at his Wimbledon debut, the born Haarlemmer stranded in the first round.

With the only nineteen-year-old Alcaraz, the six-year-old Greek track met one of the best-performing tennis players of this season. The number seven in the world has already won four tournaments this year, including two Masters tournaments.

Still, Greek track managed to make it very difficult for his opponent at times, although Alcaraz was just a bit sharper in the decisive moments. The Spaniard won the first set with a late break and was supreme a set later in the tiebreak.

In the third set, the number 53 in the world, Greece’s number 53, showed resilience by undoing a break behind. He then even missed two chances to post another break. Alcaraz struck a little later and did not relinquish that lead.

Of the three Dutch men who participate in the Wimbledon main tournament, Greece is only the first to be eliminated. Tim van Rijthoven (who currently plays against Reilly Opelka) and Botic van de Zandschulp are still in the tournament.
