Carlos Alcaraz’s first adventure in the Wimbledon final draw is over . The Murcian tennis player hit a wall in their second round match at the London Grand Slam, a wall called Daniil Medvedev . The Russian won in three comfortable sets (4-6, 1-6, 2-6) in a clash that had points of the highest level and also controversial, since the public chose to cheer on Alcaraz from the first set. Medvedev did not welcome this decision and faced the respectable on more than one occasion.
However, one of the great virtues of Medvedev is his mentality, the same one that allows him to be to other things without affecting his tennis. Daniil’s ugly gesture with the public was there for the Russian, who, although he suffered something in the first set due to Carlos’s self-confidence, put his machinery ready with the public applauding every positive action, that there was, of Alcaraz .
VERY UGLY gesture from Medvedev.
He reprimands the public for cheering Carlos Alcaraz up so much and for not cheering him on now that he takes the set. #MovistarWimbledon pic.twitter.com/fyDOx72CNx– #Vamos de Movistar + (@vamos) July 1, 2021
The power of Medvedev’s groundstrokes , coupled with a noteworthy consistency to add winners from any position, ended up massacring Alcaraz , who despite his priority of learning and enjoying the experience against the world number two was demanded to the maximum and he fought all he could before falling, after an hour and a half, with a tennis player against whom he will fight face to face in the not too distant future.
