President of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpishchev told that the fate of the final match of the tournament in Indian Wells between the Russians Daniel Medvedev And Carlos Alcaraz decided by the speed of the Spanish tennis player.
The final match of the Masters Series tournament in Indian Wells (USA) ended with a score of 7:6 (7:5), 6:1 in favor of Alcaraz.
— I have to admit: Danya was not enough for the final. Throughout the match, he served the first serve unsuccessfully against himself. And the second factor: Danya was losing speed against Alcaraz. The outcome of the first set was decided by the Spaniard’s speed. And in the second set, it was absolutely clear that Alcaraz’s motor skills were going to take their toll. Medvedev tried to play at these speeds, but made a lot of mistakes. Alcaraz forced Medvedev to play this way. But the first set was decisive. Danya did not take advantage of the opportunities he had. Alcaraz took a long time to develop, so he had to take his time until the Spaniard got into the rhythm. But what to talk about if Daniil had difficulty taking his services. Let’s be objective: Alcaraz was stronger in the final. The fate of the match was decided by Alcaraz’s speed and his play when receiving the first ball,” Tarpischev told .
The Spaniard defended his title in Indian Wells and in the final match of the tournament last year his opponent was also Medvedev. Alcaraz, 20, won the fourth of six matches against the Russian.
Alcaraz won the fifth Masters of his career, only his compatriot Rafael Nadal (9) is ahead of him in the number of victories in tournaments in this category among under-21s.
