Beretini bent the incredible Alcarath
Mateo Beretini and Carlos Alcarath gave us a great match full of intensity, passion and great agony in the Rod Laver Arena.
After 4 hours and 10 minutes of exciting battle, the Top 10 Italian managed to break the fierce resistance of his 18-year-old opponent with 6-2, 7-6 (3), 4-6, 2-6, 7-6 (10 -5) and qualified for the 4th round of the Australian Open for the second year in a row.
Beretini, No. 7 on the board, started very strongly and seemed in control of the game, but the amazing Alcarath managed to equalize in 2-2 sets and when he didn’t make some crucial “mistakes” in the critical moments Den He could have left the 3rd set with a win from Central Court.
“He’s amazing. At his age I didn’t have an ATP point yet. It’s impressive. It has great potential. He deserves congratulations. I felt like I had the momentum in the 3rd set but that’s tennis. On I lost it once. In the 4th set I didn’t have the right energy. In the 5th set I fought hard and I’m very happy that I made it.” said the exhausted Beretini to Jimmy Courier immediately afterwards.
The match was an advertisement for tennis, with impressive rallies, great points and lots of passion from both gladiators.
Carlos Alcarath in particular showed his unique talent and forced Beretini to play his best tennis to beat him.
Only at the age of 18 does the charismatic Spaniard show qualities that one does not encounter at such a young age and certainly raises expectations of the continuation of his career. Spain may have found a replacement for Rafael Nadal…
Beretini had an opportunity to end the match earlier when he had a match point available while Alcarath served at 5-6 to remain in the 5th set, with the Italian playing very cool and effectively in the 10-point tie break. completed his big win in five sets.
How ambiguous and even the match was can be seen in the points scored, as both had 159. Alcarath was more aggressive with 51 winners against Beretini’s 38, but the Spaniard also had 54 easy errors, against his opponent’s 48.
In the 4th round, 25-year-old Roman is waiting for the winner of the match, Karenio Busta. The No. 19 on the board prevailed in a 3.5-hour match against Corda 6: 4, 7: 5, 6: 7 (6), 6: 3.
