Carlos Alcaraz continues his momentum at the Shanghai tournament after beating, not without much difficulty, the Frenchman Grégoire Barrère during the second round of the Chinese masters with a score of 6-2 7-5.
After the match the young Spaniard looked satisfied with his performance, declaring: “C‘was great. I enjoy every match here in China. I felt good on the court. I didn’t have too many ups and downs, I was able to express the same level throughout the match.
He increased his level in the middle of the second set, but my concentration level remained the same and that’s what makes me happiest about my performance today. “After the match, the Spaniard was asked during the press conference if he was worried about playing against Daniil Medvedev or Jannik Sinner? Both players were in contention in Shanghai, but only Sinner is still alive for the title race after disposing of Sebastián Báez in three sets, Medvedev was eliminated by a lighting up Sebatsian Korda in their second round match.
Carlos Alcaraz likes to face Sinner and Medvedev
The Murcia native who recently lost to Jannik Sinner in the semi-final in Beijing, and the Italian beat just after Russian Daniil Medvedev in the final said: ” Between Medvedev and Sinner, who am I most afraid of facing? It’s difficult, both of you!
I saw that Medvedev won 42 or 43 hard court matches this year, a fantastic result. Jannik of course beat me in Beijing, expressing a very high standard. I would really like to face them both, but first I have to play and win my matches.
These are two players that you usually fear to face, but I like this kind of challenge. I want to play at my best to reach the final and then probably face one of them.”
