The 19-year-old Alcaraz had the most work in the first round during his comeback in the Argentine capital after an almost four-month break, and in the next two he performed more and more convincingly, even according to the results. “After the injury, I was a little (mentally) down and I needed to find confidence and rhythm again in those four months. To be in the final again right after my return, that’s something extraordinary for me,” said the former world number one and tournament number one.
The 27-year-old Norrie, who eliminated Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas after winning 7:6, 6:4, is looking forward to the final. “I know that I will have to put everything into it. It will be a tough fight, but also a nice one,” Alcaraz expects from the duel, which will be played today from 20:00 CET. No. 12 ranked Norrie will be playing for his fifth career title, having lost three of their four head-to-head matches with Alcaraz.
