Tarpischev thinks 19-year-old Alcaras has more advantage in match against Khachanov

Hispanic Carlos Alcaraz – favorite in the match with the Russian Karen Khachanov in the fourth round of Roland Garros, the president of the Russian Tennis Federation (FTR) told RBC Sport Shamil Tarpishchev .

– Alcaraz is very fond of clay courts and he plays them no worse than Nadal. There will be a fight in the game, but Alcaraz has a much bigger advantage, you can probably call him a favorite. The Spaniard is dangerous because he always plays well everywhere and he is a very tenacious player, playing without dropping. This is its major asset. From this point of view, today he can be called the number one player on the field, – said Tarpishchev.

The sixth racket in the world Alcaraz in the third round of Roland Garros beat the American Sebastian Korda (6:4, 6:4, 6:2) and at the age of 19 became the youngest player in the 1/8 final of the tournament after Novak Djokovic in 2006.
