Carlos Alcaraz's ability to hit any type of shot, from any position on the court, on any surface, keeps fans on the edge of their seats. (More Sports News)
Keeps other players guessing, too.
Alcaraz delights in all of that 바카라 he loves putting on a show just as much as he enjoys knowing he makes the guys on the other side of the net uncomfortable 바카라 and figures it can only help him in the Wimbledon semifinals against Daniil Medvedev on Friday.
It's beneficial, Alcaraz said, that opponents need to focus on whether he'll be 바카라able to be back (in) the point or able to hit an unbelievable shot.바카라
바카라For me,바카라 he said, 바카라it's great that they're thinking about it.바카라
Alcaraz, the No. 3 seed, is seeking a second consecutive trophy at the All England Club and fourth Grand Slam title overall. His triumph last month at the French Open made him, at 21, the youngest man to collect a major trophy on hard, grass and clay courts.
Medvedev, who is seeded No. 5 and defeated No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals, won the 2021 U.S. Open but is just 1-5 in major finals.
The other match Friday will be No. 2 Novak Djokovic, who has won seven of his men's-record 24 Slam championships at Wimbledon, against No. 25 Lorenzo Musetti, making his debut in a major semifinal.
바카라Against him, you are probably more stressed, because he's probably the best player ever 바카라 or one of the best players ever,바카라 said the 22-year-old Musetti, who beat Taylor Fritz in five sets on Wednesday, while Djokovic got the day off because his foe, Alex de Minaur, withdrew with an injured hip.
바카라You walk on court with a different mentality,바카라 said Musetti, whose 1-5 record against Djokovic includes a five-set loss at this year's French Open that ended at after 3 a.m. 바카라If I play in a certain way, I could have my shot in the next round.바카라
Alcaraz vs. Medvedev is a rematch from last year's semifinals, when Alcaraz won in straight sets before getting past Djokovic in the final.
It also offers a contrast between a talented attacker (Alcaraz) and a consummate defender (Medvedev).
바카라The most difficult thing about facing Daniil, or the most special thing about him, is he can reach every ball,바카라 Alcaraz said. 바카라Well, he is like a wall. Every ball bounces back.바카라
Asked what Alcaraz's best quality is, Medvedev began this way: 바카라To be honest, everything.바카라
That sounds like an exaggeration. Might not be.
바카라That's where it's tough to play against him, because you know whatever shot you hit, he can hit a winner from there. So you try to make his life difficult. You try to hit the shot as good as you can. Maybe he goes for it and he cannot make it,바카라 said Medvedev, who has won just two of their previous six encounters.
바카라Carlos can do whatever, from any position,바카라 Medvedev said, 바카라and that's not easy to play against.바카라
Tommy Paul, the 12th-seeded American who lost to Alcaraz in the quarterfinals, put something else on the lengthy list of the Spaniard's attributes.
바카라He moves unbelievably well. He's probably the quickest player. It's very hard to get the ball by him,바카라 Paul said. 바카라Grass suits him. He moves incredible on the grass. It's not easy to change direction the way that he does. He stays pretty low. Yeah, I mean, it's not easy.바카라
And then, in a nod to the sort of highlight-reel material Alcaraz regularly produces, Paul added: 바카라Half of the job when you're out there is not to let him win one of those crazy points 바카라 because when he does, he kind of gets on a roll.바카라
