The surprise came in Miami and there will be no ‘Golden Sunshine’. Carlos Alcaraz found himself in front the best possible version of the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrovwho at times seemed Roger Federer himself, and was not able to stand up to him at any time. The tactic aggressive of the veteran tennis player, who from the first game tried to destabilize Spanishremaining very aggressive and attacking whenever possibledid not let the Murcian enter the game, who He was about to receive a huge beatingbut it plugged in the end, although It was not enough against the number 11 seedfor whom everything worked out today.
The Bulgarian ripped solidconcentrated, with depth on forehand and backhand and forceful with the serve to win the first game without problems. And in the second, Dimitrov got a break and confirmed it by avoiding four breaking points from Alcaraz to take a quick 3-0 lead. The Murcian tried subtract by placing yourself very off the track to better manage power of the Bulgarian and tried to force with his serve, but still I was unable to get it. While with his service he tried to get the most powerful ones possible, but between that he was not fine and that Dimitrov made sure to attack on every ball that wasn’t perfectand he did it with much more success than expected. While Dimitrov was winning his serves very comfortably, he once again broke his opponent, and in fact Alcaraz sweated ink to maintain his serve, and he only achieved it twice. With this, the first round ended 6 to 2 in 49 minutes.
