[Trending News] Alcaraz: “I am very careful what I take or what I do”

It is not a topic, but a truth like a temple: this is tennis, so everything can happen. Of turn in turn. It comes out of the swirl Carlos Alcaraz, who had actually got into the mess: set up, lowers the piston and is forced to remake before the Italian Luca Nardi, finally surrendered: 6-1, 4-6 and 6-3 , in 1h 52m. The Murcian, then, will be measured this Thursday (not before 15.30, Movistar+) to Czech Jiri Leheckka in search of a place in the semifinals of the Doha tournament. And not far from there, in Dubai, the one that fails to escape from the knots is Paula Badosa, defeated by the Kazaja Elena Rybakina after having arranged for six party balls: 4-6, 7-6 (8) and 7- 6 (2), after 2h 51m.

Incredible but true: scare in the body. Of absolute control in the first set to the five games in a row in the second. Then he fixes it. “He [Nardi] He started playing very well. My energy level dropped a little, and his was impressive during that time. Tennis can change in two or three points. I felt that I was playing at the level of a top-10It was incredible. I had to be strongly strong, ”he says in statements collected by the newspaper AS.

The fact is that this last intervention pronounces the cyclothymic nature of Spanish within the immediate period, capable of being razing and suffering moments later. He is 21 years old and, repeats again and again, he is like that and is in it. He does not associate the resurgence of the young Italian – also 21 years, victim at children's ages of that unstoppable Carlitos – to any strategic turn. Simply, “with 4-1 no ball failed, it was very aggressive. For me it was difficult to play, the second break That he did to me I played with first services at 200 per hour, but his remains were incredible. Nothing to say, I think he started playing better, with high balls, but I didn't lose concentration for it. ”

In any case, says the El Palmar that staying “one hundred percent” at each point is very complicated, and that as a child it already used to frequently clueless in the course of the matches. It does not deviate, however, when monitoring what consumes here or there, or the medications you can use. He case Sinner He continues to be thus already known the final failure – resolved with three months of punish Even the vessels of water it ingests.

“In the end, we have always been very careful on that subject. We have always taken care of and we have had everything we take, what we do. It is very important for our performance, for tennis, and we have always been very careful. If someone comes with a supplement of something, we always see everything that we carry in case we cannot take it; We have always had a lot of eye on that. Not only following casebut before we were very careful in what we took. It is not something that following this we have made more emphasis, ”replies the Murcia, that in the rooms will be beaten with Leheckka-superior to Fabian Marozsan (6-4 and 6-2)-knowing that it prevailed in the only precedent (Queen's' 2023).
