Maailma kolmas reket Carlos Alcaraz j\u00e4tkas USA lahtistel kindlalt ja teenis koha veerandfinaalis, kui alistas ameeriklase Tommy Pauli (ATP 21.) kolmes setis. \u00dclej\u00e4\u00e4nud kolm ameeriklast, kes p\u00fchap\u00e4eva \u00f6\u00f6sel v\u00e4ljakul k\u00e4isid, olid v\u00f5idukad.<\/p>\n
23-aastane Alcaraz v\u00f5itis esimese seti tulemusega 6:4, teise 6:3 ja kolmanda 6:4. Kaks tundi ja 23 minutit kestnud mat\u0161i v\u00e4ltel l\u00f5i ta Paulile kolm \u00e4ssa ja tegi kaks topeltvea. Esimeselt servilt sai ta punkti 75-protsendilise eduga (Paul 63%), teiselt 64-protsendiliselt (Paul 49%).<\/p>\n
\u00dchtlasi sai Alcarazist k\u00fcmnes mees profitennise ajastul, kes \u00fche vastase k\u00f5igil neljal sl\u00e4mmiturniiril alistanud. “M\u00e4ngisin lihtsalt oma m\u00e4ngu, oma stiilis,” r\u00e4\u00e4kis hispaanlane. “Tommy on talendikas m\u00e4ngija. Ta l\u00f6\u00f6gid on ohtlikud ja vahel on tulevat palli raske kontrollida. Olin lahinguks valmis ja \u00fcritasin agressiivne olla.”<\/p>\n
Paistab, et hispaanlase pika vigastuspausi v\u00f5ib t\u00e4itsa l\u00f5ppenuks lugeda. “Ma arvan sama,” naeris Alcaraz m\u00e4ngu j\u00e4rgses intervjuus. “Olen j\u00f5udnud siin turniiril alates 2021. aastast alati veerandfinaali. See n\u00e4itab, kui eriline see koht minu jaoks on. Pole vahet, et olin neli ja pool kuud audis. Iga kord, kui siin m\u00e4ngin, annan endast k\u00f5ik.”<\/p>\n
Veerandfinaal kujuneb New Yorgis suureks, sest Alcaraz l\u00e4heb kokku USA esireketi Ben Sheltoniga (ATP 9.). 23-aastane ameeriklane alistas kaheksandikfinaalis kreeklase Stefanos Tsitsipase (ATP 53.) 6:2, 6:3, 6:4. “Olen [Alcarazi] m\u00e4nge vaadanud, ta m\u00e4ngib \u00e4\u00e4rmiselt k\u00f5rgel tasemel. Tundub, et ta on oma tavap\u00e4rase tasemeni j\u00f5udnud. Muljetavaldav, sest tal j\u00e4i viis kuud vahele,” \u00fctles ameeriklane. “Ma polegi temaga New Yorgis m\u00e4nginud, t\u00e4pselt selles positsioonis tahangi olla.”<\/p>\n
Tsitsipase kaotusega sai l\u00e4bi \u00fcks oman\u00e4oline seeria. Nimelt on alates 1877. aastast ehk ajaloo esimesest sl\u00e4mmiturniirist alates alati v\u00e4hemalt \u00fcks \u00fchek\u00e4elise tagak\u00e4el\u00f6\u00f6giga mees poolfinaali j\u00f5udnud. 149 aasta jooksul on toimunud 524 suurt sl\u00e4mmi.<\/p>\n
Lisaks Sheltonile tagas edasip\u00e4\u00e4su veel kaks ameeriklast: Frances Tiafoe (ATP 12.) alistas venelase Daniil Medvedevi (ATP 8.) 7:6 (1), 6:4, 7:6 (6) ning Alex Michelsen (ATP 46.) argentiinlase Tomas Martin Etcheverry (ATP 32.) 7:6 (6), 6:4, 6:4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maailma kolmas reket Carlos Alcaraz j\u00e4tkas USA lahtistel kindlalt ja teenis koha veerandfinaalis, kui alistas ameeriklase Tommy Pauli…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[18],"tags":[17461,3863,37,33,35,34,36,82402,159,158,94855],"class_list":["post-270103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sport","tag-ben-shelton","tag-carlos-alcaraz","tag-ee","tag-eesti","tag-eesti-keel","tag-estonia","tag-estonian","tag-frances-tiafoe","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-tennise-usa-lahtised"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ee\/117228110331521677","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270103\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
