Alcarath was eliminated in the round of 32 in Rome by world No. 135 Marozan
Carlos Alcarath was forced into a surprise exit as the Spanish tennis player was eliminated in the Rome Mastes’ ’32’ to 23-year-old world No. 135 Fabian Marozan.
The surprise fell victim to Carlos Alcarath, who was “bent” in two sets by qualified 23-year-old Hungarian tennis player Fabian Marozan 6-3, 7-6(4)and was eliminated from the “32” stage of the Rome Masters.
The 20-year-old Spaniard would not expect such resistance from his current opponent, who clinched what is arguably the biggest win of his career to date and if he scores another in Rome he will climb into the world top 100 .
Instead, the world No. 2 was eliminated early from the title fight, although as No. 1 at Roland Garros he will overtake Novak Djokovic at the top of the world and will now have a chance to recharge his batteries ahead of Paris.
It is also worth noting that this was the first loss this year outside of the semifinals or finals and the first this year without winning a set. Alkarath were on an 11-game winning streak and his exit today will surely stand as one of the biggest upsets of 2023.
As for the game, the 23-year-old Hungarian started from the service line and did so successfully, initially maintaining a slight advantage over Carlito until the 3rd game (2-1).
The first break came from Marozan right in the next set, while he later served clean again, adding even more distance (4-1), while his serve was unchallenged in the development of the set and he achieved his win clean and fair ( 6th minute). – 3).
In the 2nd and final part of the game it was Alkarath’s turn to serve first and he did so flawlessly until game 5 and held a small lead (3-2). The qualifier equalized with a new service game, made a new break in the 7th game and thus changed the balance again, but Alkarath responded immediately and equalized again (4:4).
Both maintained the integrity of their performances to the end, leading the match to the tiebreak (6-6), where the spirited Hungarian came back from a 4-1 deficit after more than 11 minutes to win with singles points 7-4 to win the greatest victory of his life (7-6(4).
