The national tennis player, together with Slovenian Andreja Klepac, beat Frenchwomen Alizé Cornet and Diane Parry and qualified for the British Grand Slam.
Alexa Guarachi (29th WTA) is gradually regaining her best level and showing it at Wimbledon, where with his companion, the Slovenian Andreja Klepac (18th) settled in the third round of the British Grand Slam after beating the French Alizé Cornet (64th) and Diane Parry (282nd), 6-3 and 6-2, in just 57 minutes of play.
The Europe-Chile duo imposed its terms from the start and showed a lot of solidity on the return. In fact, tennis players have won 82% of returns with the rivals’ second serve and 51% of receiving with the first. This allowed them to make six break point chances out of the 13 they had. Likewise, they were very solid on the first serve, getting 76% of the points.
Cornet made history in the singles on Saturday, after ending the impressive 37-game winning streak of Poland’s Iga Swiatek, the current world number one. He beat her 6-4 and 6-2 and gave the big upset of the season. However, in doubles the story was very different and quite erratic.
In this way, Guarachi continues to consolidate her best performance after being eliminated early on in the 2018, 2019 and 2021 editions , while in 2020 he did not participate. For the passage to the next round, the Chilean-Slovenian duo will be measured for the passage in the quarter-finals with the Chinese Yi-Fan Xu (28th) and Zhaoxuan Yang (23rd).
Alcaraz says goodbye
The Sunday session had two main courses. The first was the clash between Italian Jannik Sinner (13th) and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz (7th), where the former won in four sets, for 6-1, 6-4, 6-7 (8) and 6-3 in a meeting rich in emotions and where the Spaniard was very consistent in his game and knew how to strike in key moments.
“Carlos is a great competitor and a great person. He is a very tough opponent. It’s hard to have multiple match options and not convert them, but I kept giving the best I had.” declared the winner, who expects a rival in the quarter-finals.
As, Novak Djokovic (3rd) continues his triumphant march across England, after beating Dutchman Tim van Rijthoven 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 (104th) , one of the big surprises on the circuit this season on grass. The former number one had no problems and will now face Sinner for the semi-final passage.
