The world number one loses to David Goffin 7-5, 6-3
Carlos Alcaraz said goodbye to the Astana Open on Tuesday on his return to ATP competition after his enormous triumph in the United States. The Murcian tennis player has lost against David Goffin in two sets 7-5 and 6-3 and it is the first time in this exercise in which he has not been able to pocket a set. In any case, despite the defeat, the Spaniard will maintain the number one in the world next Monday. Why? Because Casper Ruud, number 3 in the world, has been defeated by Munar.
Alcaraz was seen with less shooting than usual. It is true that he played two matches in the David Cup, but the lack of competition has taken its toll. Now, he will have to wait until the end of October to play in Basel, starting on October 24. He suffered at all times. He didn’t look too fine and made too many unforced errors.
