NEW YORK – Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz became the first singles semifinalist at the US Open Grand Slam tournament.
In Tuesday’s quarterfinals, he eliminated the twenty event of Czech Jiří Lehi Lehička 6: 4, 6: 2, 6: 4.
Alcaraz has not lost a set at the tournament and also showed a sovereign performance against the Czech tennis player. Lehečka did not get to a single break in the match. In the first sets he missed the introduction when he lost his submission in the first gem.
In the third set he showed his best tennis, held a tie up to 4: 4, but in the ninth game he did not maintain the service and Alcaraz in the next gem transformed his first sword. This year’s Roland Garros champion will meet Novak Djokovic or Taylor Fritz in the fight to advance to the finals.
A five -time Grand Slam champion knows that if he sets out to the throne in Flushing Meadows, he will return to the post of world unit. “It is difficult not to think about it. Every time I enter the court, I try not to think about it. The opposite would mean I put too much pressure on myself,” admitted Alcaraz according to AFP.
