A clash between two tennis fans of log in spectacle and delight is expected to be entertaining.But the world of difference between the two is resolved as expected, Carlos Alcaraz, who gets into the game and entertains and entertains the crowd, has his share of success, and Corentin Mouttet, who, as Mercian warned, dissolves into his own anarchy leaving 'high' scores.So, Alcaraz, who has reached his place in the quarter-finals, where he awaits an opponent who already keeps his tricks to himself, the never-joking Tommy Paul, wins his round against Alejandro Davidovich 6-1, 6-1 and retreats from Malaguno.

Algaras gains tone and warmth, again adapting to daytime temperatures.While Moutet, 26 and 37 in the world, isn't a contender for shots and good rhythm, he slows down anytime during this two-hour popcorn.There is a cut backhand or a cut forehand to balance the pattern from below.Even Algaraz, Prince of the Forsaken, grows weary of advancing.Students are taking it easy in practice, but there is also room to further improve their performance on the court.

Because Alcaraz has the legs to hit the shot (the French 50 do) and the toughness of the soft face and the bad shot.The first set came out unscathed, although he was a little confused in the second set.It was 3-0 with the final score, but Moutet remembered that he came there to have fun and showed that you always have to respect your opponent, the 37th in the world, remember.It was a serve from the ground, another one that didn't come out but reduced the opponent, read the service and the net that was good and Alcaraz found himself with 3-4 which highlighted the sign that this was not just a 'show', it was a deserved victory.
The Murcian adjusts his bat, pulls out his cannon, and works more patiently and intensely until he finds the final "break."And a cry of relief and joy leaves his lungs.It's not a good time, we're not here just to put on a show, there's much more, much sweeter and much more desirable.And this is shown to the French in the third act, where one has no hand exercises, yet he celebrates what little he has to offer with little bows and dances, and the other is not ready for jokes and celebrates victory with his fists and teeth.The Spaniard's 100th Grand Slam win tally ties him with Jorn Borg (87-13).
Alex Correetja: "Ferrero will help alkars grow, to make his own decisions"
Former tennis player and commentator Laura Martha believes the break with the coach will mature him, stressing that she is not affected by Mercian's results and that no, he did not want to be his coach.
"It wasn't easy. To be honest, when you play with someone like Corentin, you don't know what will happen next," the Spaniard said on court."That's why it's very difficult to fight the game. If you go forward, he can create the ball for you; if you're behind, he can send you short. But I'm happy because I was focused all the time and when things weren't going well there, I had to wait for it. In the third set I was able to get my style back and I had a good time along the way.
"I told my team, 'I'm not running to the next shoot.' I'm tired of going online.'

"Sometimes I see the 'important' because on the outside you see things very differently than on the inside.I like to remember how I felt.Those moments amuse me, they move me.I have already seen several matches," Mursyan explained after taking a shower.He also commented that he has "a lot of room for improvement" going forward against a wall in the round of 16 such as Tommy Paul, 28 years old and 20th in the world.
“He's a great player: he's very fast, he has great shots, good hands.I have to try to play with my style and play my best tennis."I know I have to lose, and I have to accept the bad moments that happen in the game, and try to feel comfortable in those difficult moments, in those exchanges."
Álvaro uses stripes
Murcian admitted that he felt comfortable in this first big official tournament with Samuel López as head coach.And he said that he has something else that brings him to the crowd, not only tennis, his brother Alvaro: "My brother is a very important person in his personal and professional life. He gave me a lot of positive things that I need to do better and also in the tournament. He will stand out a little more, with Samu. He has traveled for a long time, he knows how much in life, he will contribute to me, Samu, and some life options. I am very happy that something like this happens, he is very involved in the framework and deeper in the team.
