Lucky loser Nardi leads Miami Open champion Jakub Mensik 6-2, 2-1 When the game was 42 minutes later, 16 seeds of the Czech Republic retired. Alcaraz beat Nardi, 22, 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 in the 16-round Doha round earlier this season.
Today’s game is a meeting between the 22-year-old former next ATP final champion, winning a strong strike and a tortuous hit rate.
On the distance between his 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 victory Damir Dzumhur In his Cincinnati Open Open opener, Alcaraz faced a very different challenge at Medjedovic, who could almost wipe out points in a strike.
Most of Alcaraz’s matches eliminated the thump from hitting the Serbs and sprinting corners to the corners to knock back the depth drive.
The first set was waving in a steaming nine-minute, 13-minute game. Medjedovic saved three breakout points but indulged his preference for shooting percentage and found the network faced a fourth breakout point. The Serbs spit out the third double of the game as Alcaraz ended a penalty game 4-3.
That game seemed to enhance Alkaraz and the lost Medjedovic. Alcaraz stranded at the age of 15, replacing the break with a score of 5-3.
The defending Roland Garros Championship won the game in the 15th season. Medjedovic doubled Alcaraz’s unmandated error output (21 to 10) and paused to pause after the opener.
Halfway through the second plate, Alcaraz felt the heat – from the cauldron-like conditions and the scorching drive in Medjedovic’s racket. A large number of forehands returned to the line, which brought Serbia’s breakout back point, and then Alkaraz hit his first double break, returning the break to 3 innings.
“New game! Challenge yourself!” Medjedovic’s coach shouted with encouragement. But, 6’2″ Serbs were too busy sucking the air from the deep grooves and leaning over their waists against the back wall, obviously exhausted to really absorb the encouraging information.
In the next game, Alcaraz dropped from 40-15 as the weary Medjedovic tried two consecutive shots and scored a second straight 4-3.
This time, the second seed of the Spaniards extended to 5-3 through a strong holding.
