Alcaraz

Si l'Américain a tenu la dragée haute au 6e mondial pendant deux sets, le joueur de 19 ans, encore virevoltant, a été plus tranchant sur les points ...

ROLAND-GARROS 2022 - Une formalité pour Carlos Alcaraz. Face à un Sebastien Kordad qui l'avait dominé à Monte-Carlo, le prodige espagnol a pris sa revanche ...

"Juan Carlos m'a dit de faire du service-volée sur les points serrés et les moments chauds des matches, je me sentais d'y aller", a raconté le nouveau chouchou de la Porte d'Auteuil pour expliquer son esprit de conquête. Ce gamin de 19 ans n'est décidément pas un clone de Rafael Nadal. Il a déjà imprimé sa propre marque. Avec une première balle pas toujours présente et un coup droit absent, le fils de Petr Korda n'avait pas les armes pour refaire son coup de Monte-Carlo où il avait eu la peau du prodige espagnol, sa dernière défaite en date cette saison. Conséquence, il n'a pas perdu son service de la soirée. C'était essentiel. La seule grosse frayeur connue par le protégé de Juan Carlos Ferrero a eu lieu au début du 3e set. Surtout, ce succès est venu effacer son "raté" face à Albert Ramos sur le SImonne-Mathieu mercredi dernier, où il avait commis 74 fautes directes. Avant de penser à plus haut, Alcaraz peut déjà se satisfaire de ce qu'il a accompli à la Porte d'Auteuil. Il a passé l'écueil des 32es de finale.

Carlos Alcaraz produced top-drawer tennis to beat Sebastian Korda to book his place in the fourth round of the French Open.

If I can do serve and volley I do. Explaining his thought process, the youngster said: “Juan Carlos (Ferrero, coach) always told me that in the tough moments to go aggressive. “I am very proud,” Alcaraz said.

I also eat a lot of salad, a lot of rice... Kebabs. I eat them a lot when I’m in Murcia. But really, I’m very simple. I have a plate of mixed gluten-free pasta. I really try to look after myself, but if I see something I like, I’m really happy to have it. And I normally have bananas, too. I don’t follow a diet as such, but I do try to look after myself. I don’t really have a nutritionist, but my physio, Juanjo Moreno, knows a lot. I eat quite a lot of pasta, that’s good for athletes. He is a really curious guy and he tries to study nutrition and gives me advice at tournaments. If I live on my own one day, yes, I’d like to learn to cook for myself and cook for people who come over. I’d like to know more things because I like cooking, but I still haven’t had the time to learn. But, actually, I’d like to cook them a good baked fish.

Carlos Alcaraz defeats Sebastian Korda at Roland Garros on Friday to reach the fourth round. He will next face Karen Khachanov, who beat Cameron Norrie.

Khachanov let slip a 4-2 lead in the third set, but regrouped strongly to advance in three hours and 37 minutes. Although the 26-year-old arrived to Paris with a 4-5 record on clay this season, his most consistent Grand Slam success has come at this event. Korda had two chances to break Alcaraz at 2-1 in the second set, but succumbed to his opponent’s aggressive play on both. Alcaraz didn’t face a break point throughout the night. In what was also a rematch of last year’s championship match at the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals, Alcaraz hammered 24 winners and broke Korda four times to advance in two hours and six minutes. Alcaraz secured the first break of the night just nine minutes into play, ripping a forehand winner for a 2-1 lead.
