It is not being the brightest wimbledon of Carlos Alcaraz, but, for the moment, it is not much more. The Murcian, with more trade than magic, surpassed the University Oliver Trvet (6-1, 6-4 and 6-4) and is in the third round. “I love his tennis,” said the Murcia after almost two and a half hours of fray on a central track that begins to lose the unpolluted green and take certain brown tones.
The British, a complete stranger for the general public and for his own circuit teammates, still attends his studies at the University of the United States and that condition prevents him, for example, to pocket the 115,000 euros of prize that would correspond to him for this second round in the All England Club. The regulation of the NCAA, the institution that governs American university sport, establishes that its athletes can only generate $ 10,000 a year, so Ratet will take a much lower reward than it deserves.
Something similar happened to him on the track, where his good work and his kilometers and kilometers traveled did not allow him to scratch some set to Alcaraz, but to take his approval and approval. If you keep playing like this for a few months, it will not be strange to see you closer to the first hundred of the ranking.
Because Trvet was until this week a tennis player without a single ATP match. He had only lavished in Futures, the lowest step of professional tennis, and spending the previous phase and winning Leandro Riedi was the greatest achievement of his career at 21 years.
Planting Alcaraz was a feat for the London, augated by a fairly overturned audience in its favor and by surprising physical force. That strength to pursue each ball in each corner paid off, generating eight Spanish breakage balls in the first set. He was not fortunate to hunt any, but he laid a precedent: Alcaraz was again clarified to the service.
A notice
As it happened against Fabio Fognini in his debut, the serve was not the definitive thing that it was in Queen’s and Recavet took advantage of it to get a output break in the second partial. It was just a warning, because Alcaraz remedied the play quickly and turned off any possible fire by finishing 6-4, but something did not square.
Tarvet created problems with ease and Alcaraz could not be trusted or when he got the break in the third. The British returned it and forced another reaction to culminate in three sets and that the film is not complicated anymore.
«He has shown great tennis. I knew I had to be concentrated and play my best level. I am happy for my performance and you have to congratulate him, ”he said after getting the twentieth consecutive victory in the season and number 16 followed in Wimbledon.
«I think I found the right path. I try to enjoy when I go on track regardless of whether I win or lose. That has been the key in the last two or three months for this streak of victories, ”added the Murcian.
