Alcaraz: actuality and form

Carlos Alcaraz has been just awesome since the start of the season. From the height of his 19 springs, the Spaniard looks directly into the eyes of the best players on the ATP circuit. Although he had already started in Rio, Miami and Barcelona, ​​the Iberian could win another victory in a 1000 master’s degree. We had not seen so much precocity since his illustrious idol, Rafael Nadal. The two Spaniards faced off against the Madrid crowd in the quarterfinals. And he was the younger of the two who won in three sets (6-2, 1-6, 6-3). This victory was a symbol for the Iberian.

But he quickly had to recover to challenge Novak Djokovic in the semifinals. If the Serb has not yet returned to its best level, it remains the world number one. Alcaraz did not tremble during this meeting. After a very contested first set lost in the tie-break, he remained extremely mobilized to win in a marathon match (6-7, 7-5, 7-6). A very high-flying victory, which ensures him to be sixth in the world on Monday. But what he wants most is to be crowned in front of his audience. He is in such a state of grace that it is difficult to see what could stop him.

Zverev: topicality and form

The German was relatively unobtrusive on the ATP circuit for the first four months of the year. year, with a final in Marseille as the best result. He seemed to have gained momentum with the start of the clay court season, reaching the semifinals of the Monte Carlo tournament. But his enemy had stopped him to death on the Stefanos Tsitsipas circuit (6-4, 6-2). After an elimination in his first match in Munich, he hoped to do better in the Spanish capital.

And it is clear that Zverev has been very good so far. He eliminated Cilic (4-6, 6-4, 6-4), Musetti (6-3, 1-0) and Auger-Aliassime (6-3, 7-5). Therefore, the semi-final against Stefanos Tsitsipas was especially expected, while there is a real rivalry between the two men. The party kept all its promises, with three entries. In the end, it was Zverev who won, beating Greek Ocher for the first time (6-4, 3-6, 6-2). An excellent result that will earn him a first Masters 1000 final this season.
