Tokyo.- The World Cup tennis male, Carlos Alcarazwas classified for the quarterfinals of the tournament ATP 500 from Tokyo By easily defeating Belgian Zizou Bergs this Saturday (n.45), without showing ankle problems after the scare of the previous round.
On Thursday, at its premiere in Tokyo, the tennis player twisted his ankle at the beginning of his party against Argentine Sebastián Báez and had to be treated by the medical services of the tournament.
Two days later, no alert for the 22-year-old Murcia, who clearly exceeded Bergs 6-4 and 6-3, although Alcaraz seemed to start the game with some fear, which led him to grant the “break” with his first service.
Disipped the doubts about the state of his left ankle, Alcaraz put two more marches to his game and barely found resistance in his rival.
“I was a little worried before the game, so I just wanted to heat and see how I felt,” Alcaraz granted after the game.
“I didn’t feel anything on my ankle, so I decided after heating and play. In some movements I am afraid to go crazy (thinking about the injury), so I try to take it easy,” he added.
Regarding the fact of losing his service three times, the Spanish insisted on his concern for the injury: “I think it has been because he still thought of the ankle and forgot to make a soft movement, a soft serve.”
In rooms, Alcaraz will measure the American Brandon Nakashima (n.33), which also won two sets (7-5 and 6-3) to Hungarian Marton Fucsoovics (n.58).
Sinner exceeds the second round in Beijing
Jannik Sinner, N.2 of the world, was classified for the quarterfinals of the Beijing ATP 500 Tournament, but granted a set against Frenchman Térence Atmana (n.68), which feeds doubts about the state of Italian tennis player.
In his first tournament after his defeat in the final of the US Open against Alcaraz, which also caused the N.1 of the ATP classification to Spanish, Sinner seems to be filming before the “many little things” that has changed in his game in order to recover the throne of the tennis.
Before Atmane, Sinner suffered above all in the first two sets, before closing the game in the third (6-4, 5-7 and 6-0).
Consequence of the changes introduced in his game, Sinner made uninhabitual uninhabitual mistakes in him, such as the two consecutive services he lost in the second set, without winning a single point.
