Carlos Alcaraz20 years old and world number 1, will not have a first experience with the historical king of ‘aces’ on the ATP Tour, the American John Isnerwhich adds 14,411 after the twenty that he executed in the Masters 1000 ATP in Cincinnati.
A figure that was not enough for him to meet with the Murcian, since he was a victim of the Australian Jordan Thompson29 years old and nº 55, in the ‘tiebreaks’: 7-6 (5) and 7-6 (2) in 1h.58′ of a match that suffered an interruption due to rain with 4-4 in the first set.
There were no service breaks, Isner traced back his two ‘break’ points and Thompson, one against. With clubs, the ‘Aussie’, coming from the previous phase, caught the American in his best ground, who at 38 is 106 ATP. A former top-10 that is going down this season, with a negative balance of 8 wins and 13 losses.
But no one wants to flip him at a track as fast as Cincinnati yet. Thompson accepted the challenge, rose to it, and will face Carlos Alcarazin an unprecedented match on the circuit.
