Jan-Lennard Struff smashes his forehand into the netAce by Carlos Alcaraz with a flat serve that Jan-Lennard Struff cannot returnAll prepared on court number 1 of the All England Tennis Club in London, which has a very good entrance and a perfect turf since it is the first day. All eyes on this 19-year-old Spanish boy who has revolutionized tennis in 2022.Juan Carlos Ferrero’s pupil will be number 6 in the world, ahead of Novak Djokovic, after these two weeks because the ATP has decided, due to the Wimbledon boycott of Russian and Belarusian tennis players, not to be scored. However, his evolution into one of the greats of the year will influence his confidence to face the upcoming tournaments, specifically the North American tour in August.
Today will be a good touchstone for a Carlos Alcaraz who has not been able to shoot in previous grass tournaments due to an untimely injury to his elbow, from which he no longer has any discomfort. Well aware of the pressure that his figure entails, he declared at a press conference that he “didn’t think about people’s expectations to face this Grand Slam”.Warstein’s right-hander, he is a giant of 1’93 tall, who has a good serve and who has always defended himself on clay. Characteristics that could perfectly fit the grass surface. He completes his ninth participation in Wimbledon where in the first round he has fallen six times, the third being his highest level.He reached world number 29 in 2020 and last season he achieved the only final of his career on the earth of Munich, which he lost to Nikoloz Basilashvilii. A regular Top 50, this year he has hit a monumental slump by playing 12 games and winning only two: one at the beginning of the year in the ATP Cup against John Isner and another three weeks ago in Stuttgart on grass, against Marcos Girón.A Jan-Lennard Struff who, at 32 years old and installed in position 158 in the ATP Ranking, is far away because of a problem in the right foot of that tennis player who twice reached the round of 16 at Roland Garros. He is a regular at the knockout stages of Masters 1000 such as Indian Wells, Paris, Shanghai or Cincinnati, where he reached the quarterfinals in 2020 when he was eliminated by Novak Djokovic.To make matters worse, he faces a rival, Jan-Lennard Struff, against whom he has already played once, he did it precisely in a Grand Slam, in the 2021 edition of Roland Garros in the third round. That day the German, who was 42 in the world, beat the Murcian in just over two hours and in three sets, then 97 on the planet.
Its performance is a mystery. Today will be the third meeting that he disputes in the ATP. He has only played two matches, both last year at Wimbledon. He beat the Japanese Yasutaka Uchiyama (116 in the world) with great difficulty 6-3, 6-7, 6-2, 3-6 and 6-3; to then be swept away by the great absentee this year, the Russian Daniil Medvedev, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2.Carlos Alcaraz, number 7 in the world and current winner of the ATP NextGen Finals, and champion this year of Rio de Janeiro, Miami, Barcelona and Madrid, apart from being a semi-finalist in Indian Wells and a quarter-finalist in Roland Garros, has a new challenge ahead of him: see how his revolutionary tennis fits not only on the grass but also on the majestic stage of Wimbledon.Hello, very good afternoon to all tennis fans, very good afternoon to all Wimbledon lovers, because, today, the Grand Slam of grass par excellence has begun. Next, we will broadcast live the debut of Carlos Alcaraz this year at the All England Club and that he will have the German Jan-Lennard Struff as his enemy.
