Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Monday, April 4, 2022. Tune in to the news afternoon report provided by Tennis House.
In the early morning of Beijing time, the ATP1000 Miami Masters launched a men's singles championship battle. Spanish genius Alcaraz overcame the disadvantage of being broken in the first set and falling behind 1-4, counterattacked strongly, and finally won two consecutive sets 7-5 6-4 to win the first career Masters title.
At 18 years and 11 months, Alcaraz also surpassed Serbian champion Djokovic (19 years and 10 months) to become the youngest men's singles champion at the Miami Masters. With 1,000 points from the championship, Alcaraz's world rankings will rise to 11th this week, just 29 points less than The 10th-placed British Brother Nori, and the top 10 is within easy reach. Not only that, but he also broke the embarrassment of the Spanish players in the Miami men's singles final 0-7, achieving what his compatriot Nadal did not achieve.
After the game, Alcaraz was very excited, "I can't put into words how I feel right now. Winning my first Masters Series title in Miami was so special. I have an incredible team behind me, family... I am very happy with this victory. ”
Since winning the ATP250 Umag championship in July last year, the Spanish youngster has only spent 9 months to gather singles titles from all levels of ATP Tour such as 250, 500 and 1000, and also won last year's ATP Milan New Forces Finals, maintaining a 100% winning rate in the finals, which even surpassed the "Fernard" big three in the same age group.
After learning that his brother won the Miami championship, Nadal posted on the social platform for the first time to send sincere wishes. "Congratulations to Carlos on his historic victory in Miami, and to be sure, it was the first of his many victories!"
Nadal is an icon of Alcaraz. The super mobility that Alcaraz showed on the field of play was indeed very similar to that of Nadal in his youth. In terms of playing style, he considers himself more like Federer, the king of Switzerland. In terms of physical flexibility, Alcaraz is also very similar to the current king Djokovic. Some fans marveled, is this young man a collection of all the advantages of the Big Three?
After winning his first Masters title, the under-19-year-old Alcaraz was touted by tennis experts and fans as the future world number one. However, his coach Ferrero is very calm, hoping that the disciples will not be disturbed by these public opinions, but will continue to focus on the training ground and the game. "Let him focus on tennis!" I think the goal and our ideas and what heights he can reach, it's hard to say now. He has to stay focused and keep the quality of his training, because it's easy to get distracted right now and people around him will create a lot of public opinion for him. So I'll keep him calm at home these days and then go back to the pitch because there's no shortcut to everything. ”
Let's focus on the women's arena again. Beijing time this morning, WTA1000 Miami women's doubles final came to an end, former US Open champion Sigmund / Zvonareva in both sets behind the counterattack, and finally won the championship 7-6 (3) 7-5 victory over top seed Kudmetova / Mertens. It was the third doubles title the duo had won since they worked together. Congratulations to their sisters!
