Carlos Alcaraz Extends Wimbledon Woes After Third-Round Exit
Carlos Alcaraz, the world number one, was sent crashing out of Wimbledon in the third round on Saturday. The 19-year-old Spaniard was beaten by Jannik Sinner in straight sets (6-1, 6-4, 6-78, 6-3) in a match that lasted three hours and 35 minutes.
Missed Opportunities Plague Alcaraz
Alcaraz had a golden opportunity to take the third set when he served for it at 5-4, but he was broken by Sinner. The Italian then went on to win the tie-break 10-8, and he never looked back from there.
Sinner’s Stellar Performance
Sinner, who is ranked 13th in the world, played a superb match. He was solid from the baseline, and he also served well. The 20-year-old Italian hit 24 winners to Alcaraz’s 32, and he made just 15 unforced errors to Alcaraz’s 23.
Alcaraz’s Loss Raises Questions
Alcaraz’s loss to Sinner raises questions about his form on grass. The Spaniard has now lost three of his four matches at Wimbledon.
Alcaraz has had a remarkable season so far, winning four titles including the Madrid Open and the Barcelona Open. However, he has struggled to find his best form on grass.
Will Alcaraz Improve on Grass?
It remains to be seen whether Alcaraz can improve his form on grass. The Spaniard has the talent to win Wimbledon, but he will need to work on his game if he wants to be a serious contender.
Kind regards
E. Thompson
