Beat Tsitsipas in Barcelona, Alcaraz enter the world's top 10
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Carlos Alcaraz beat top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in three full set somersaults to reach the semifinals of the Barcelona Open on Friday, becoming the youngest player since Rafael Nadal in 2005 to reach the world's top 10.
The 18-year-old Spaniard beat world number five Tsitsipas who defended his title at the Monte Carlo Masters last weekend, 6-4 5-7 6-2.
Alcaraz will become the first teenager to make the top 10 since Andy Murray in 2007 when the ATP rankings were released on Monday. Alcaraz will also become the youngest player since compatriot and 21-time Grand Slam champion Nadal 17 years ago.
"Probably my biggest win on clay. It was incredible," Alcaraz said after the match. "What a match, what a great pitch atmosphere I had today. Everything was amazing."
Alcaraz's 21st win in 2022 should have been settled in straight sets when he led 4-1 in the second.
However, Alcaraz bounced back and cruised past the decider to hack into a semi-final clash with Australian Alex De Minaur as he seeks his third title of the year after the Rio and Miami Masters.
Alcaraz's win was the third in three meetings against Tsitsipas.
Meanwhile, De Minaur beat British fourth seed Cameron Norrie 6-3 5-7 6-1 in Friday's quarter-finals.
Earlier in the day, Norrie needed a grueling three-and-a-half hours to beat Marton Fucsovics 7-5 6-7 (9/11) 6-4 in a rain-delayed third-round tie on Thursday.
Instead, De Minaur booked a quarter-final spot when South African Lloyd Harris withdrew after losing the first set 6-0.
In the other semifinal, Pablo Carreno Busta will meet Diego Schwartzman.
Carreno Busta saved three match points in the second set against second seed Casper Ruud of Norway and then overcame an early break in the decider to win 4-6 7-6 (8/10) 6-3 after three hours of play.
"I'm very, very happy for this win," said the 30-year-old Spaniard who beat Lorenzo Sonego in another three sets the day before. "I lost a set after playing three hours this morning, so it was very, very difficult to come back."
Schwartzman, the sixth seed, advanced to the semifinals after beating third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 3-6 6-2 6-3.
In the third round the Argentine spent more than four hours before beating Lorenzo Musetti, 6-4 7-5.
The triathlon national team continues to boost preparations for the Vietnam SEA Games
The preparations for the Indonesian triathlon athletes for the SEA Games in Hanoi, Vietnam, May 12-23, went smoothly and currently they are continuing to boost their training, which is centered in Bandung, West Java.
"The TC (Training Center) started on January 3 and until now it has been more than four months for athletes to prepare. We have also tried in once at PIK (Pantai Indah Kapuk)," said Dika triathlon national team manager Chrisna Irzandi to ANTARA, Saturday.
Indonesian triathletes have been undergoing training camps (TC) in Bandung, West Java since the beginning of 2022. They continue to follow various programs from the trainers, including conducting a trial at Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), Jakarta, on April 2.
While undergoing TC, continued Dika, the tri-race national team continued to focus and reduce interactions with many people. This is done because we are currently still in a state of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to training discipline, athletes are also strict in maintaining their diet. "We have a team of nutritionists who always control our friends. So there is a special fine for athletes who eat not according to the advice of nutritionists," said Dika.
The Indonesian Triathlon Federation (FTI) has prepared eight athletes to participate in four competitions, namely the men's and women's triathlons (swimming, running, cycling), and the men's and women's (running and cycling) events at the Hanoi SEA Games.
From the men's sector, there were Jauhari Johan, Rudi Febriade, Ronald Bintang Setiawan, and Aloysius Reckyardo Mardian. As for the girls, they are Eva Desiana, Zahra Bulan Aprillia Putri, Nethavani Octaria, and Inge Prasetyo.
Regarding the departure, it is planned that Jauhari Johan and his friends will go to Vietnam on May 6.
"The competition is on May 14-15. So we leave early so that athletes can acclimatize or adapt to the weather, humidity, temperature. So it is hoped that when the time comes to compete, they will be adaptive to the conditions there," said Dika.
