• Tennis Alcaraz survives Krajinovic in Hamburg

  • Tennis Carlos Alcaraz succumbs to Sinner's relentless tennis: "I'm leaving Wimbledon with my head held high"

Mao Tse-Tung said that the art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Carlos Alcaraz has staged the previous premise in the quarterfinals of the Hamburg Open.

With cold blood, serves from the baseline and serenity, the Murcian tennis player has defeated

Karen Khachonov

with partials of

(6-0) and (6-2)

in just over an hour.

On this occasion there was no room for miracles, for surprises or for the frustrations caused by the

"change of ground"

, at least from the Spanish side.

The clay has not been a differential point for Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.

The Murcian tennis player, who has warned of his interest in "winning the title" on several occasions, has taken advantage of the mistakes of a rival who has given away the first set without adding a game.

Khachanov made his debut on the scoreboard after 20 minutes of the game and was unable to reverse the statistics.

The Murcian has cleared up the doubts left by his strange comeback against

Filip Krajinovic

in the round of 16 of the competition that takes place on German soil.

The scene of the match against Khachanov was different, without setbacks.

Alcaraz has made his rival desperate, who has only added

two games

to the scoreboard.

The clenched fist, the gaze focused on the public during each celebration and the harsh right-wing responses have been constant images on the Spanish side;

the blows to the head, the gaze directed towards the ground and some annoyance that ended with the

racket colliding with the clay

have shown the discomfort of the Russian at the dawn of the match.

Alcaraz started the match against Khachanov with a

stunning 6-0

.

The Spanish tennis player has used the Russian's early failures to his advantage to secure a solid advantage that has allowed him to calmly face the second instance of the match.

While Alcaraz dominated the development of the match with pleasure, Khachanov

tried to resist

with strong serves and sudden attacks that did not allow him to turn around a game that had generated a high level of expectation.

In the second set, Khachanov responded with the only two points he added throughout the duel and celebrated the slight advance he obtained against the Spaniard with strong relief.

Khachanov's spirits escaped like a sigh when Alcaráz, true to his ideology, recomposed his path and

quickly liquidated the match.

Alcaraz will face this Saturday the winner of the match between

Alex Molcan

and

Borna Coric

.

Lorenzo Musetti and the Argentine Francisco Cerúndolo will

complete the other semifinal that will define the finalists of the Teutonic contest.
