Carlos Alcarazcurrent US Open champion, is in the semifinals again where he will face the Russian Daniil Medvedev in a tournament in which, so far, he is rationing his efforts, showing off very effective tennis and limiting his time on the court as much as possible.

The last example was his quarter crossing in which He defeated the German Alexander Zverev in two hours and 30 minutes. It is worth remembering that he began his path with “energy savings” due to an injury to German Dominik Koepfer after only 60 minutes. In the second round he also continued fast track with a victory against South African Lloyd Harris in two hours and 28 minutes. The third party of him, against the British Daniel Evans, It was the only one in which so far he has deviated somewhat from that path, giving up a set (the only one so far) in three hours and 11 minutes. Simpler was their round of 16 matchup vs. the Italian Matteo Arnaldi in one hour and 57 minutes.
In total, Alcaraz has only played one match lasting more than three hours and, not counting the first round, he has accumulated a 12-1 in sets. This trend contrasts, for example, with his run to the title in 2022.
For example, Alcaraz played a memorable quarterfinal match last year against the Italian Jannik Sinner that ended with victory for the Spaniard almost at three in the morning and after more than five hours of vibrant and spectacular tennis.
It was no exception since, from the round of 16, Alcaraz played five sets in all his matches until the final, including very demanding and long duels against the Croatian Marin Cilic (round of 16) or the American Frances Tiafoe (semifinals). On the other hand, the final against the Norwegian Casper Ruud was resolved in four sets.
