The 22-year-old Alcaraz appeared on the track with a mixed hairstyle. He entertained the spectators in a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium with nice points.
Alcaraz won the US Open in 2022. In the second set, he wasted a 4-1 lead (4-4) and was treated on a thigh. Alcaraz recovered after the medical time-out and quickly pulled the game towards him. “I didn’t have much pain. It wasn’t serious,” said Alcaraz about his injury treatment. “The physiotherapist did his job well.”
Darderi was also treated on an upper leg for the last game. The 23-year-old Italian could then no longer move freely.
Alcaraz encounters in the eighth final at the Frenchman Arthur Rindernech, who defeated his countryman Benjamin Bonzi: 4-6 6-3 6-3 6-2.
