The Spanish Carlos Alcarazconditioned by this Monday’s defeat against the German Alexander Zverev by 6-7 (3), 6-3 and 6-4, he needs a victory against the Russian Andrey Rublev to maintain their chances of progressing to the semifinals of the Finals ATP that are held in Turin and that he is playing for the first time in his career.
The one from El Palmar, who was defeated after two sublime sets by ‘Sascha’ Zverev, will face the loser of the match between Russians from the same group, Rojo, who left dejected Rublevclearly surpassed by Medvedev in two sets (6-4 and 6-2) after just over an hour and a half of battle.
A defeat against the Muscovite would practically exhaust the world number 2’s options.
Despite the defeat, of course, Alcaraz, who is not in his best shape and has accumulated three defeats in a row, got a positive reading of its debut in the ATP Finals, the tournament that brings together the eight best rackets on the circuit at the Pala Alpitour in Turin.
“It’s incredible. Honestly, the best entrance to the field I’ve ever made. It was an incredible experience to play my first match in the Masters, even if I lost,” he said at a press conference after the defeat.
