PARIS: Carlos arrived at Rolland Garos with confidence in the Carlos Alcaraz Rome after the end of chief rival Janak Sunar, but the defending champion expects the Italian will make even a strong proposal after its doping ban.
Alakaraz and sinful will be on the opposite parties of the draw when Spaniard came second in the world this week after its Italian open victory, possibly setting a stage for another blockbuster final between the two growing sports superstars.
The 22 -year -old Alcaraz has won 15 out of 16 matches this season, winning Monte Carlo and reached the Barcelona final before leaving Madrid’s Open with a thigh injury.
He has also earned the late sinner, he won the last four meetings and took advantage of the head 7-4, which is a record that includes Alakaraz’s five sets in last year’s French Open semi-final. His success on Sunday ended the 26 victories of the sinner.
Four times the Grand Slam champion Alakaraz believes that the challenge of playing a sinner benefits the best. “He is the best player in the world. It doesn’t matter that he was out of the tour for three months. Every tournament he plays plays very well. That number is present. He wins almost every match.”
“If I do not perform my best, 10 out of 10, it would be impossible to defeat it. That’s why I focus more focus when I am playing against it, or when I’m going to face it than other players, I feel a bit different.
“It has this shine. When you look at it on the other side of the net, it’s different.” I wouldn’t say that I am feeling when Rafa (Nadal) and Roger (Federer) are playing, but I am feeling that when we are facing each other, it’s a different energy. “
In Rome in 18 months, the sinner suffered the loss of his first straight seats, and at that time he was dominated. Equally impressive, though he had a run in his first tournament since the Australian Open title in January.
“I’m closer to everything,” said Sunr, who served a three -month ban after a positive test for the banned anabolic steroid clostabo’s marks. The sinner has always maintained the product of his physiotherapist entering the system through his physiotherapist massage, which used the spray containing it for the treatment of the cut.
He eventually arrived in a settlement when the authorities accepted pollution, it was accidental and its prolonged ban would be an “uncertainty ban”. After the end of his runner -up in Rome, Sunar said, “After three months of coming here, this result is a lot for me.” “I hope to play some good tennis in Paris too.”
The sinner called Alcaraz “defeated The Man” but Alexander Zurio is still among the titles, even after being short in the final of last year. Zurio then lost to the Gainer in the Australian Open Final, but after winning Munich, there is a clay trophy under his belt this season.
He decided to enter the Hamburg event this week after losing in the quarter -finals in Rome, and sought to promote Laurenzo Moseti after “very negative” loss. “This may not be the last match before the French Open … I need positives before it starts,” Zurio said.
Novak Djokovic will leave Paris with limited expectations of a person with a record 24 Grand Slam titles, three of which are coming to Roland Garros. For a long time in the former world number one rankings, the sixth is ranked sixth, leading to the possibility of a quarter -finals against Alakaraz or sinner, as his tour level is waiting for the 100th title. His last came to an Olympics, where he defeated Al -Caraz by a Philip Chatter in court to get a gold medal.
Djokovic left Rome after coming out early in Monte Carlo and Madrid and wanted to re -discover a shape by playing in Geneva. Madrid champion Caspar Road is two times Roland Garros runner -up, while Britain’s Jack Draper has won the best fifth of his career after winning the Indian Wales and reaching the Madrid final.
