Limitating watching and enjoying is one of the great pleasures of the fan. With the great irruption of Spanish sport, Carlos Alcaraz, has become the tradition. How far can it go and how will it make us enjoy this time. Under that reading, the second presence of the tennis player Murcia at the Miami Open continues to sail at full speed. Neither the veteran Marin Cilic and his unstoppable bombardment (6-4 and 6-4) could with the pearl. The second Grand Slam champion, after Murray in Vienna, who falls with the promise.
It was not an easy battle, because Cilic is more than hardened. Without going any further, his only crash had been in Estoril and he had already left brushstrokes. Third set, very close. But for Alcaraz a year later, nothing is the same. Now, he is the rival to fear. And with that premise he jumped onto the track in Florida.
Something fast, maybe. In his first game on serve, he saw how precipitate he was paid with some missed balls, and caused the Croatian giant to have a chance to break. I saved her, and from that moment I accelerated the Spanish. The immediate rest was a warning, and he began to return balls dangerously. Cilic will save three break chances. The next one was impossible. He messed me up from the bottom and sent her out. First Spanish break.
The marker smiled at Alcaraz, but the contest was not going to end. If something defines Cilic, it is that mettle to continue with his game plan. Cannon shots from the bottom and with a little more risk due to Alcaraz’s ability. And on serve, the Spaniard was iron. His seconds to the Croatian’s body were undetectable, and if something goes wrong… Left a house mark.
Every point was forced to play. No short game (only 13 serves between the two with no return) and a fight in which the serves were maintained. Alcaraz varied, another of his hallmarks throughout the year, and he only failed a little more at the net (two out of five in the entire set). With 4-5 he had to go close it. And I didn’t have a good time, because Cilic had a 30-15. He immediately took out the power and the Croatian left a drop in the net. Carlos’ dog at the service did the rest. The first (6-4) was his.
The solidity of Alcaraz
The feeling of party worked, but with superiority of Alcaraz it was the robe. And the second manga had an initial script similar to the dawn of the first. No complications on serve for Alcaraz, quite the opposite of Croatian. Three break points for the Spaniard generated by the variety of heights saved by the power of the Croatian, again. demanding that Carlos ran and exchanges could not be provoked.
It was the best opportunity in six games, as Cilic grew in the match. His only option, and in the seventh came his best game to the rest since the first of the match. Tension with 30 equals, but Alcaraz knew how to connect a great serve and punish the Croatian. Tables, before the decisive moment.
Ah emergera Alcaraz. With determination and taking advantage of Cilic’s few mistakes. The first something improper in the Balkan, because he was ‘filled with the ball’ and sent it out. The second was an attack by Alcaraz. To close it, backhand a la Djokovic. Almost nothing to the device.
The story had a clear ending. Alcaraz and his service equals solidity. And with two aces he put the game on track. It was his, and his double 6-4 sent Marin Cilic ‘to the canvas’. Another Grand Slam champion fallen into the clutches of the ‘wonder boy’. See and enjoy with Alcaraz.
