“I must and must win Alcaraz” – Russian tennis player Kotov about the favorite of the US Open men’s final
Russian tennis player Pavel Kotov believes Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz is the favorite for the men’s final of the 2022 US Open.
Kotov made it to the main draw of the US Open through qualification, but in the first round he lost to the American Brandon Nakashima with a score of 6:7 (4:7), 2:6, 2:6. The final match between the third seed of the tournament Alcaraz and the Norwegian Kasper Ruud (5) will be held on Sunday and will start at 23:00 Moscow time.
– Do I watch matches after leaving the US Open? Yes, it’s still my job. And the work is not only about playing on the court – you need to watch your opponents in order to understand who you have to play with in the future. But I hope I can beat them – I look at those people who are in the top ten, in the top 20. We have been with Kasper for one year, we didn’t play against each other, but we were at the same tournaments as him. I saw Alcaraz only on Challengers.
I will root for beautiful tennis, for me they are on the same level. But, in my opinion, Alcaraz should and must win, but how it really is … You know how each match depends on a couple of draws. These athletes play at such a level that today these few balls will play for Alcaras, and tomorrow – for Ruud, – Kotov is quoted by the “Championship”.
The winner of the meeting will lead the ATP rating.
