Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz appreciated his performance at the Australian Open and also expressed the opinion that the Italian Jannik sinner capable of beating the Serbian Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals of the tournament.
On Wednesday, the second racket in the world Alcaraz lost to the German Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open with a score of 1:6, 3:6, 7:6 (7:2), 4:6.
— It was a good tournament for me: I reached the quarter-finals and I showed good tennis. At the same time, I am disappointed with my performance in the quarterfinals, because in the previous round I was confident and played good tennis. My level of service was worse than in previous matches.
Overall, I leave the tournament happy. I have to forget this match with Zverev. This result is not what I wanted, but a Grand Slam quarter-final is a good result. It’s a shame to have started the match like that and to have ended it with a defeat. But it’s tennis.
— You were the only person to beat Novak Djokovic at the Grand Slam tournament in 2023. Do you think anyone can repeat your feat?
“I think the players who reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open have enough level to beat him. Let’s see.
Beating Novak isn’t easy, and at a Grand Slam tournament, it’s even harder. But he will have to face Jannik Sinner, who is playing an incredible game. “He hasn’t lost a single set in this tournament, which means he is capable of beating Novak,” Alcaraz said at a press conference.
In the semifinals of the tournament, Zverev will meet Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev. Zverev has played Medvedev 18 times in his career, with the Russian winning 11 matches.
