US Open: Champion Alcaraz gets easy start

On August 30th in New York City, something new happened.
Carlos Alcaraz has given up the number. The number one player in the world had a straightforward beginning to the US Open when his opponent, injured German Dominik Koepfer, had to stop playing against him. The last big tennis tournament of the year started on Monday. Novak Djokovic won his match against Alexandre Muller easily and will now become the new world No. 1 instead of Alcaraz. The rankings will be changed on September 11th.
Alcaraz will be the number one. He had a number 1 next to his name for the whole Flushing Meadows competition and moved on to the next stage after Koepfer hurt his ankle a few minutes into the match and later gave up while the Spaniard was leading 6-2 3-2.
Alcaraz wants to be the first man to win the US Open two years in a row, like Federer did in the past. He didn’t do so well before this tournament, but he played well on Tuesday and didn’t make many mistakes.
I didn’t consider the idea of protecting the championship. “He said he didn’t believe he was the champion last year. ” I am solely concentrating on performing at my highest ability in order to regain the level I reached last year. I will try to replicate the same strategies and actions as before. “That’s the only thing on my mind right now,” he said.
Daniil Medvedev, who is ranked third, still has a chance to win his second US Open title in three years. Alcaraz and Djokovic have been getting all the attention, but we shouldn’t forget about Medvedev.
He grabbed everyone’s attention when he easily beat Hungarian Attila Balazs, winning every set 6-1, 6-1, 6-0. He hit 41 shots that were winners. This victory allowed him to move on to the next round where he will face Australian Christopher O’Connell.
Sabalenka doesn’t have any problems.
Second seed Aryna Sabalenka defeated Belgian Maryna Zanevska 6-3 6-2. Sabalenka hit 27 winners in the match, which concluded on Louis Armstrong Stadium. “I believe she played an amazing match – she fought until the very end,” said the Australian Open winner in her on-court statement. “I am very happy with the topic I am concentrating on. ” – Reuters
