#NextGenATP Alcaraz Stuns Goffin For First Top 15 Win

Spoiler:

Khachanov, Anderson book third-round meeting

Carlos Alcaraz recorded the biggest win of his career on Wednesday, when he upset top seed David Goffin 6-3, 6-3 at the Great Ocean Road Open in Melbourne.

The 2020 Newcomer of the Year saved six of seven break points and won 75 per cent of second-serve return points to overcome the 2017 Nitto ATP Finals runner up in 73 minutes. This is Alcaraz’s first win against a Top 15 player. The 17-year-old entered the contest with only three previous matches against Top 100 opposition (3-0).

“It was a very good match,” said Alcaraz. “I always want to play these kind of matches against great players like Goffin. I'm very happy with this win today and looking forward to the next round.”

How To Watch

Alcaraz improves to 5-0 at all levels this year. Last month, the #NextGenATP Spaniard dropped just one set in three matches to qualify for his maiden Grand Slam main draw at the Australian Open.

“He just killed me, so I would say he's good… He had nothing to lose today. He qualified for his first Grand Slam. He's under 18. He's hitting the ball unbelievable,” said Goffin. “I don't know if he's playing like tonight every day, every match, but it was a huge performance tonight. He didn't let me play.”

Alcaraz’s win acts as another checkpoint in the Murcia native’s rapid rise on the ATP Tour. The 6’1” right-hander claimed three ATP Challenger Tour titles and rose more than 350 positions in the FedEx ATP Rankings last year to reach a career-high No. 136 on 19 October.

Alcaraz will meet Thiago Monteiro for a place in the quarter-finals in Melbourne. The Brazilian recovered from a set down to defeat Matthew Ebden 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-3.


Second seed Karen Khachanov began his 2021 season with a 7-6(5), 6-3 win against Max Purcell. The four-time ATP Tour titlist landed 11 aces and saved all four break points he faced to set up a blockbuster third-round clash against two-time Grand Slam runner-up Kevin Anderson.

Anderson claimed his place in the third round with a 57-minute 6-4, 6-2 win against Cedrik-Marcel Stebe. The South African dropped just four points behind his first serve (27/31) to book a second ATP Head2Head clash against Khachanov. Anderson rallied from a set down to win his only previous match against the Russian 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 at the 2018 Miami Open presented by Itau.

Reilly Opelka also started his Great Ocean Road Open campaign with a win. The sixth seed beat Sergiy Stakhovsky 7-6(8), 6-4 in 82 minutes. Opelka saved one set point at 7/8 in the first-set tie-break and fired 17 aces to earn his first win of the year.

Murray/Soares Earn Team Comeback Win
In their match as a team since Roland Garros in 2019, Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares claimed a 7-6(4), 6-3 victory against Pablo Andujar and Pedro Martinez.

The 2016 Australian Open and US Open champions saved all four break points they faced and won 85 per cent of their first-serve points (28/33) to reach the the quarter-finals in 83 minutes. Murray and Soares are chasing their 11th team title and their fourth crown on Australian soil. Alongside their 2016 title run at the opening Grand Slam event of the year, Murray and Soares also triumphed on two occasions in Sydney (2016, ’19).

Hubert Hurkacz and Jannik Sinner also reached the quarter-finals on Wednesday. The unseeded pair needed just 57 minutes to eliminate fourth seeds Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Henri Kontinen 6-1, 6-4.

Carlos Alcaraz to wielka nadzieja hiszpańskiego tenisa. W lutym zeszłego roku, mając 16 lat, wygrał swój pierwszy mecz w głównym cyklu, a kilka miesięcy później zdobył premierowy tytuł na poziomie ATP Challenger Tour. Przed startem sezonu 2021 zawodnik z Murcji był wymieniany w gronie najbardziej obiecujących talentów. I ogromny potencjał pokazał już w drugim meczu rozgrywek. W środę, w 1/16 finału turnieju Great Ocean Road Open w Melbourne, pokonał 6:3, 6:3 najwyżej rozstawionego Davida Goffina.

Ogrywając aktualnie 14. w rankingu ATP Goffina, Alcaraz (w środę jeden as i sześć przełamań) odniósł pierwsze w karierze zwycięstwo nad rywalem z czołowej "40" klasyfikacji singlistów. Kolejnym przeciwnikiem 17-latka z Murcji będzie Thiago Monteiro, który wyeliminował Matthew Ebdena.

Z bardzo dobrej strony pokazał się też inny tenisista młodego pokolenia, Jannik Sinner. 19-letni Włoch, który miniony sezon zakończył tytułem w imprezie w Sofii, na inaugurację występów w 2021 roku wygrał 6:2, 6:4 z Aleksandarem Vukiciem. Sinner, deblowy partner Huberta Hurkacza w Great Ocean Road Open, w III rundzie stanie naprzeciw Aljaza Bedene. Słoweniec oddał cztery gemy Dane'owi Sweeny'emu.

Rozstawiony z numerem drugim Karen Chaczanow zaserwował 11 asów, przy własnym podaniu zdobył 73 proc. rozegranych punktów i w 82 minuty pokonał 7:6(3), 6:3 Maxa Purcella. W 1/8 finału Rosjanin zmierzy się z Kevinem Andersonem. Afrykaner ograł Cedrika-Marcela Stebe (6:2, 6:4).

Rywalem w III rundzie Botika van de Zandschulpa, środowego pogromcyKamila Majchrzaka, będzie Reilly Opelka. Amerykanin, turniejowa "szóstka", wygrał 7:6(8), 6:4 z Serhijem Stachowskim, zapisując na swoim koncie 17 asów i 85 proc. wygranych punktów przy swoim podaniu.

Serwis w środę bardzo pomógł też Aleksandrowi Bublikowi. Kazach zaserwował 23 asy i to znacznie przyczyniło się do jego trzysetowego zwycięstwa nad Christopherem O'Connellem. Oznaczony numerem ósmym Bublik w III rundzie zmierzy się ze Stefano Travaglią. Włoch wyeliminował Sama Querreya, turniejową "dziesiątkę".

Parallels with Rafa mean no escape for Alcaraz

Spoiler:

Parallels will follow Carlos Alcaraz for the rest of his life.

It comes with the territory when a Spanish teenager, following in Rafael Nadal’s footsteps, lands his maiden victory in a Grand Slam main draw.

For the 17-year-old from Murcia it came via a 6-1 6-4 6-4 triumph over Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp at the Australian Open on Tuesday.

Being a showdown between a pair of qualifiers, the match was consigned to Court 17, away from the sunken surrounds and crowd noise of a show court, bordering the tram tracks, which separate Melbourne Park and the MCG.

If the teenager continues on his current trajectory it is not a court he will be assigned for much longer.

Following Jannik Sinner’s loss on Monday, Alcaraz is now the sole teenager standing in the men’s draw, and his favourable statistics are only mounting.

Last month in Doha he became the youngest man to qualify for the Australian Open since Novak Djokovic in 2005.

He is the youngest man to win a Grand Slam match since Thanasi Kokkinakis beat Igor Sijsling at the 2014 Australian Open and the first born in 2003 to win a match at a major.

“I'm very happy to [get] this win today in my first Grand Slam,” he beamed. “I try to enjoy, to play my game. I enjoyed it. I got the experience. I’m excited to play my second round.”

His Dutch opponent, while ranked 10 places lower at No.151, had form on the board, having won three matches at Melbourne Park last week before letting a match point slip against Karen Khachanov in the Great Ocean Road semifinals.

While Alcaraz admitted to an expected dose of pre-match butterflies, it did not show the moment the first ball was struck.

He opened the match winning 20 of the first 25 points as he leaped to 5-0.

He was broken just once in the second set and after landing the crucial break for 5-4 in the third, he brought up match point with a cool-as-you-like drop-shot winner.

His passage was secure when he nailed a running forehand down the line, much to world No.16 Pablo Carreno Busta’s approval courtside.

Swedish 22-year-old Mikael Ymer is next.

“Pablo Carreno Busta is like a brother here,” he said. “I have someone who can help me here … it means a lot to me that Pablo can see my match, support me here with my team.”

Hours later, compatriot Nadal steamrolled his way past Laslo Djere in his first outing on Rod Laver Arena for AO2021.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion hit with the teenager in a closed training session on John Cain Arena last week and was notably impressed.

“He's very good. He's very young. He has everything to improve in the future with his age,” Nadal said after both reached the second round.

“He already is where he is, and he has a lot of great things on his game. I really believe that he will have a great future because he's a good guy, humble, a hard worker. He has a lot of positive things.”

Grinning constantly, Alcaraz is not as shy or as seriously spoken as Nadal, much slighter in physique and without the long hair of his idol at the same age.


Their game styles are markedly different and Alcaraz certainly won’t buy into comparing their results.

“I try to focus on me, not on the social media, to play my game, play in front of my team, [for] my team, me, my family,” he said. “I don't hear the comparison with Rafa.”

The teenager will soak up whatever insights the veteran champ is willing to impart.

Already one aspect stands out from their first training session.

“I think the intensity he trains with, no?” Alcaraz said. “He trains with a lot of intensity all the time. He hits the ball very hard. He tries to hit harder every ball.

“I think he’s focused from the first ball to the last.”

17-Year-Old Alcaraz Goes From Hard Quarantine To First Grand Slam Win

Spoiler:

#NextGenATP Spaniard will play Hurkacz or Ymer in the second round
If Carlos Alcaraz was nervous for his Grand Slam main draw debut on Tuesday, he certainly didn’t show it.

The #NextGenATP Spaniard played aggressive, composed tennis to dispatch fellow qualifier Botic Van de Zandschulp 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 in the first round of the Australian Open.

"I'm very happy to win today in my first Grand Slam," Alcaraz said. "I tried to enjoy, to play my game. I think I did it. I enjoyed [the match]. I got the experience. I'm excited to play my second round."

Both players were making their major debuts, so nerves were to be expected. But 17-year-old Alcaraz was unfazed by the moment, losing just nine points in the first set. Juan Carlos Ferrero’s protege weathered every storm he faced on Court 17 en route to a one-hour, 54-minute victory.

After being in hard lockdown for two weeks, it would have been understandable had the teenager got off to a slow start in Australia. But last week Alcaraz upset top seed David Goffin in the Great Ocean Road Open, and now he is through his major debut in straight sets.


Van de Zandschulp was not an easy draw for Alcaraz, either, despite it also being the Dutchman’s Slam debut. Last week, the 25-year-old beat Reilly Opelka and pushed big-hitting Russian Karen Khachanov deep into a third set in a match that lasted two hours and 37 minutes.

But Alcaraz had an answer to every surge his opponent made. In the early going, Van de Zandschulp misfired often and allowed the Spaniard to find a rhythm. But the Dutchman rallied from a break down in the second set and his baseline power began to push the player nearly a decade his junior behind the baseline for the first time in the match.

What stood out about Alcaraz was that he never showed frustration or panic. After losing serve for the first — and only — time in the match at 3-2 in the second set, the three-time ATP Challenger Tour champion broke back in the next game.

The 6’1” righty showed plenty of skill, too. In one point, Van de Zandschulp struck a solid overhead. Alcaraz, who was so close to the back wall that he was off the screen, somehow guessed the right direction and crushed a backhand winner up the line.

The 17-year-old hit two more winners than Van de Zandschulp (26-24) and made 21 fewer unforced errors (23-44). The Dutchman double faulted the deciding break away in the third set and Alcaraz did not flinch when serving out the match, screaming “Vamos!” and smiling at his team after clinching his triumph.

"I played a very good first set. I think he missed a lot of balls. I tried to be focussed all the time," Alcaraz said. "The second set was very, very tough. He played a really good game in the second set. I tried to be relaxed in the tough moments."

Alcaraz was barely inside the Top 500 of the FedEx ATP Rankings at the start of last season. Now at World No. 141, he is charging towards the Top 100. The teen will next play Swede Mikael Ymer, who upset 26th seed Hubert Hurkacz 3-6, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 after three hours and 44 minutes.

Ymer is into the second round of the Australian Open for the second consecutive year. The 22-year-old has not made the third round at a major.

Alcaraz is the youngest man to win a Grand Slam match since Thanasi Kokkinakis at the 2014 Australian Open.

Carlos Alcaraz: A New Member Of The Elite

Spoiler:

Ferrero, Nadal and Carreno Busta talk about the 17-year-old #NextGenATP star

They say slow and steady wins the race, but Carlos Alcaraz seems determined to continue making great strides on his road to stardom. Only his teenage features give any indication of his youth. Judging by his game, his attitude and his results, probably nobody would guess he is only 17 years old. On Tuesday, 9 February 2021, the Spaniard broke new ground in his precocious career, by winning his first Grand Slam singles match at the Australian Open.

“I feel surprised and excited at the same time,” he admitted, after beating the Dutch Botic van de Zandschulp 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 on his Grand Slam championship debut. “I handled the situation really well, as it was my first best-of-five match. I was surprised that I handled it so well and so serenely.”

In very little time, Alcaraz has grown accustomed to being just another member of the Tour’s elite. “I’m new here, I still haven’t played many ATP tournaments and this is my first Grand Slam. In the locker room, the gym and the canteen I’m surrounded by all the players I’ve been watching since I was young. I try to treat it as normal, but when I stop to think, I say to myself: ‘I’m surrounded by the best! The players I grew up watching!’”

It is the excitement of a boy mixed with the performances of a man. This is how he sees himself when he shares the hallways of Melbourne Park with the best tennis players on the planet. But, how does his fellow Spaniards see him?

His coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, answered the question for ATPTour.com. “I thought Carlos was very well prepared,” said Ferrero. “He was very keen to play in a Grand Slam and he was very excited about it. The thing that surprised me the most was the ease with which he was able to play from the start through to the end.”

Ferrero is certainly responsible for a fair share of Alcaraz feeling confident on the court. Ferrero is a former No. 1 in the FedEx ATP Rankings and at the helm of one of the most exciting Spanish tennis stories. “Carlos had never played to five sets, but he knew how to handle the tense moments of the match. He started out with great intensity. At the end of a five-set match it’s very important not to dip at any point and to stay focused from start to finish. It’s a very positive match to continue growing from.”

Someone who knows exactly what it means to break down barriers at a very early age has also noticed his potential. “He's very good,” says 2009 Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal. “He's very young. He has everything to improve in the future with his age. He already is where he is, and he has a lot of great things in his game. I really believe that he will have a great future because he's a good guy, humble [and a] hard worker. He has a lot of positive things.”

The 20-time Grand Slam champion was able to witness Alcaraz at work on court first-hand after a training session at Melbourne Park last week. “He has intensity. He has the passion. He has the shots, and he's always the same in my opinion. He has all the ingredients to become a great champion.”


If there is one player in the ATP Tour locker room that knows him well, then that player is Pablo Carreno Busta. The Asturian is yet to forget the day he first met him. “It was in 2017,” said Carreno Busta. “We met in The O2 at the [Nitto] ATP Finals [in London]. We were knocking up, and he didn’t miss a single ball. He was 14 years old and you could see he was different.”

It would be the first of many hours they have shared on court — normally at the JC Ferrero-Equelite Sport Academy in Villena, Alicante, where they normally train. “Carlos has a very high ball speed. It looks like he’s barely doing anything and the ball flies off his racket. He has very high energy [and] he works very hard. He’s dedicated [and] he learns quickly… He really wants to keep improving. He’s a great kid above all, very humble and hardworking.”

Feliciano Lopez, who is appearing in his 75th consecutive major championship at this year’s Australian Open, smiles when he talks about Alcaraz. “It’s been many years since I’ve seen a Spanish player with that potential. Although I haven’t trained with him, I’ve trained close to him in recent days, so I’ve been able to see him play. Seeing a 17-year-old play like Carlos is something very special [and] unique.”

Pablo Andujar admitted, “I had the chance to train with him one day and he really did seem like an incredible player. He has a tremendous future. I’m really happy for him because he’s a very humble kid, who has a lot of respect for his elders. I’m also happy for Juan Carlos [Ferrero]. He is very involved, and I think it’s a great project. I’m happy for them.”

However, amid all the plaudits, both his team and experienced Spanish voices are calling for calm. Such a promising talent should be given time to mature. “What he wins or doesn’t will depend on many things, but we can be very happy to have someone very special who can do big things for Spanish tennis,” said Lopez. “It’s just a reason to be very happy. Everything takes time, of course, but I think that he’s going to be one of the greats.”

Carreno Busta added, “He’s a player who has a very good future and hopefully he does well, but he’s still 17. Let’s not expect him to win the Australian Open.”

Alcaraz plays Sweden’s Mikael Ymer on Thursday in the Australian Open second round.

Alcaraz: 'I Never Like To Lose'

Spoiler:

Ymer praises Spaniard after hard-fought victory

Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz says he has learned a lot from his first Grand Slam championship appearance at the Australian Open. The 17-year-old #NextGenATP Spanish star lost to Sweden’s Mikael Ymer 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-6(5) on Thursday.

“It was a tough day for me," said Alcaraz. "I never like to lose. I learned from this match that I didn’t manage my nerves [well]. I lost control of my serve, and I think for the next tournament I will try to be focused all the time. won't complain and I think I have to do better when the things are not going [my] way.

"In the first set when he broke my serve, I think I complained too much. Then I broke his serve in the next game, but in that moment I wanted to win the point [with] one ball. I didn't want to play the point, and I think at this level you have to want to play every point, especially in the tough moments. He played a really good game, and he was better than me in those moments.”

Ymer, who will next play fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round at Melbourne Park, was full of praise for Alcaraz after their match.

“I think he plays very good tennis,” said Ymer. “But what made me more impressed was that at this age he [is] committed to his game style, no matter the score, even if he was down, even if he was up, break point down, tie-break.

“I think he has a big possibility to be the future of our sport. Not only to be a very good tennis player. My first impression is that he's a very nice guy. So I think he will be one of these players that the kids are really going to look up to and have as a big role model.”

Alcaraz, who was barely inside the Top 500 of the FedEx ATP Rankings at the start of 2020, is currently at No. 141. He leaves Melbourne with fond memories, having played aggressively in his first major championship victory on Tuesday when he dispatched fellow qualifier Botic Van de Zandschulp 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.

The Spaniard, who began playing tennis aged four, has worked with former World No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero for the past four years.
