A battle between phenomena with Sinner who starts very strong and Alcaraz who grows in the third set, but loses in the fourth. Few on the eve would have bet on the South Tyrolean who, before this tournament, had never won a match on grass. He is now in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon (against Novak Djokovic on Tuesday 5 July).
Sinner the cold does not lose calm and concentration even in difficult moments. With the change of technician, the addition of Darren Cahill to Simone Vagnozzi, even more order has arrived. And also with a smile. «Carlos is a very difficult opponent and a special person. It is wonderful to win such a match in front of this public on a special day like the 100th anniversary of the Wimbledon center ».
