CARLOS ALCARAZ 6 – 4 MARIUS COPIL
¡
Nobody stops here! Welcome to the second match of the tie between Spain and Romania qualifying for the Davis Cup finals! Immediately after the first victory achieved by Roberto Bautista against the young Gabi A. Boitan jump on the track Marbella Roman Bridge the big draw. Not from homeland tennis, almost from world sport. It is Carlos Alcaraz, he comes from succeeding in the Rio de Janeiro Open on clayto be world top-20 and debut in the fight for the ‘Salad bowl‘ before his audience.
It shouldn’t be a complicated clash, because although it measures the best ‘singlist’ in the table Romania, Marius Copil, roams the world charts at No. 261 and is playing ITF tournaments. Alcaraz, for his part, comes from playing on clay, he has safely beaten players like Matteo Berrettini, Diego Schwartzman or Fabio Fognini, and his beginning of the year leaves no doubt. From a tennis point of view, it has a differential ball speed among the best on the planet. And also physically, yes, he makes headlines with his change, but it is also reflected on the track because he is stronger, faster and more decisive than all of his rivals. Something that was seen about the ‘Guga‘ Kuerten from Brazil and also in the first big of the season, the Open de Australia. To make matters worse, all the Roman bridge will be looking forward to the debut of the future of our sport at a party in honor of the pioneer and myth of racket sport, the great Manolo Santana.
Thus, Spain can leave Friday in a comfortable position. With 2-0, what could be expected due to the difference in level, and everything ready for tomorrow’s solution. At MARCA we tell you in great detail. He plays Alcaraz, he plays the future. He plays Davis Cup.
