Stefanos Tsitsipas smashes the ball right into Carlos Alcaraz
It was expected to be a fiercely contested encounter between the two tennis professionals and it turned out to be exactly that. The Greek, who came to the Barcelona Open wrapped up in the glory of last week’s Monte-Carlo Masters, seemed to be troubled with Alcaraz’s beautiful drop shots. It was even more evident when the Spaniard Snatched the first set away from him.
Aside from Alcaraz’s marvellous drop shots, another event occurred. Tsitsipas blasted the tennis ball squarely toward the Spaniard in the final game of the opening set, forcing him to duck down to avoid the shot. Following the shot, Alcaraz uttered some remarks that have yet to be revealed. It’s still unclear whether the shot was deliberate or a result of the game’s flow, but what’s more astonishing is that the Greek made no attempt to apologise to the Spaniard after such a massive incident.
