In the world of tennis, players are showered with a lot of hate if they start losing a few matches. Carlos Alcaraz, the Spaniard has been rising meteorically in the men’s ranking but his recent early losses have brought him some hate from the fans as well as tennis enthusiasts. The Spaniard usually wins most of his matches but to maintain a 100% rate in 80 matches is not an easy target to reach for any player.
2023 Wimbledon winner, Carlos has recently had a few comparatively early exits from the tournament. He lost in the semi-finals of the China Open to Jannik Sinner and he also lost in the Round of 16 at the ongoing Shanghai Open against Grigor Dimitrov. Fans have been trolling the youngster for a couple of losses in Asia. However, Alex Corretja backs up the Spaniard for his remarkable season.
“Maintaining 100% in the 80 games he plays a year is impossible. One of the keys for Alcaraz is to select the calendar well, due to travel, training, and changes in schedules and hotels. If Alcaraz plays at his best level, he wins 95% of the games, except when they play among the very good players at the best level. And yet there is always one of them who believes that he has not played at his best level,” said Alex backing up the 20-year-old.
Carlos Alcaraz out of the Shanghai Open early
Carlos Alcaraz, the young sensation has been shining through most of his matches this season and understandably so, he was ranked World Number 1 for some time before Novak Djokovic won it back in the US Open. Carlos, on a mission to win it back before the end of the year, started the Shanghai Open early but unfortunately lost against Dimitrov.
The match started with the Spaniard dominating the first set but soon he lost his momentum and gave away some points as well as the match to his opponent. The final score was 5-7,6-2, 6-4 and with this loss, Carlos may have lost his chance to regain his number 1 position by the end of the year. Nonetheless, Alcaraz has had a wonderful run this year with many finals and a Grand Slam win as well. He may not have ended as World Number 1 like he wanted to but it’s just the start of an amazing career and Alcaraz is surely on the pathway to create new milestones.
