On May 5, the Spanish teenager Alcaraz celebrated his 19th birthday.
In the ongoing ATP1000 Madrid Masters, he joined Nadal and Djokovic, who have 41 Grand Slam titles, and announced that he was born.
Yesterday, the men's singles semi-final of the ATP1000 Madrid Masters ended. Alcaras fought hard for 3 hours and 35 minutes, and finally defeated the three-time tournament champion and world No. Djokovic.
In the previous quarter-finals, Alcaraz defeated Nadal, the king of clay and the 21-time Grand Slam champion, with a 2-1 upset.
Alcalás is a famous teacher. He studied under the former French Open champion and Spanish star Ferrero. Naturally, he got a true inheritance on the clay court. With his natural power, he stirred the world men's tennis this year and made a big splash.
Before the Madrid Masters, Alcalás had won the Rio Open, Miami Masters and Barcelona Open three championships, collected 250 points, 500 points and 1000 points championship titles, and the world ranking soared directly to TOP10.
In terms of experience and fame, of course Alcaraz cannot be compared with Xiaode, but the 19-year-old boy has a bright future, especially after he defeated Nadal, the king of clay has completed his legacy, and he is the new king.
Alcaraz's winning streak against top 10 players extends to six in 'back-to-back' defeats of Nadal and Djokovic in Madrid, showing the 19-year-old has the power to match the best opponents on tour s level.
"It gave me a lot of confidence in the final," Alcaraz said. "For the rest of the season, I think I can play against the best players in the world and beat them, and I feel more confident."
