Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz defeated Chinese player Yibing Wu in three sets and advanced to quarterfinals in the US Open, adding his 17th consecutive victory in a Grand Slam tournament. Alcaraz, world number 3 and second seed, defeated Wu 6-3, 6-4 and 6-1 in two hours and 20 minutes of play. This win allows him to continue in the tournament and seek to prolong his streak in quarterfinals against American Tommy Paul.
The match against Wu was more complicated than expected, as the Chinese player was very aggressive and always on the attack. However, his lack of control led him to commit 40 unforced errors, which facilitated Alcaraz’s victory. Despite conceding his serve twice, the Spanish player improved in the first and third sets, and his first serve percentage was higher than in the two previous matches.
Alcaraz expressed satisfaction with his performance and highlighted that he has played aggressively and intelligently. He also acknowledged that Tommy Paul will have a small advantage in quarterfinals by playing at home, but assured that he is better than he thought physically. Regarding his next match, Alcaraz has defeated the American in six of the eight encounters between them.
Additionally, Alcaraz expressed his desire to play doubles with his brother Jaime, who is starting to make a name for himself in the junior circuit. This shows the confidence and support he has in his family and team. With this victory, Alcaraz continues in the US Open and seeks to continue making history in the world of tennis.
