The Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz His journey at the Australian Open, the first ‘Grand Slam’ of the season, begins this Tuesday with a first duel against the French veteran Richard Gasquetin what will also be his first official match of the new season.
The 20-year-old player from Murcia begins a hopeful year in Melbourne in 2024, also marked by the Paris Olympic Gamesin which he hopes to maintain or raise the level he offered in 2023 where he was crowned on the Wimbledon grass against the Serbian Novak Djokovic To add his second ‘great’ after the 2022 US Open, he won five other titles and was in the semifinals of Roland Garros and New York.
Now, he will try to repeat these performances at Melbourne Park, where He was absent last year due to injurywhich allows him not to defend many points and opt to regain the number one in the world, and where in his two previous participations he could not go too far, with a defeat in the third round in 2022 against the Italian Matteo Berretini and in the second front to the Swede Mikael Ymer in 2021.
However, Alcaraz is designated as one of the favorites to try to remove Djokovic from his throne, defending champion, eight-time winner of this ‘Grand Slam’ and who once again presents himself as his rival to beat. To this end, the one from El Palmar has not played any official match since he lost to the one from Belgrade in the semifinals of the ATP Finals in Turin (Italy).
