During his first three or four seasons on the main tour, Stefanos Tsitsipas suffered defeats in significant matches against renowned players such as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. As a result, Tsitsipas had hoped for the decline of these exceptional players, Nadal and Djokovic, in order to capitalise on the opportunity to win prestigious titles. When that moment came, however, new and promising talents such as Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune emerged, seizing the opportunities presented at the highest level. As a result, Tsitsipas is far from achieving meaningful results. The Greek has lost all four of his previous meetings with Carlos Alcaraz, and the accumulation of losses has gradually eroded his confidence in winning big titles.
Carlos Alcaraz stunned Lorenzo Musetti in the round of 16 at the French Open, playing him as if he were a player ranked outside the top 100. He dominated the match from start to finish, allowing Musetti to win only seven games in three sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. This performance by the young Spaniard was truly impressive, especially given Musetti’s recent victories on European clay over players like Novak Djokovic and Cameron Norrie. Musetti also had a competitive match against Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Rome Masters, making Alcaraz’s easy victory all the more impressive.
