Alcaraz advances to China Open semi-finals, setting up potential rematch with Medvedev
Posted : 03 October 2023
Carlos Alcaraz secured a spot in the semi-finals of the China Open with a straight-set victory over Casper Ruud.
As the second seed, Alcaraz faced a challenging start to the match, falling behind 3-0 initially. However, he displayed remarkable resilience and skill to come back and claim a 6-4, 6-2 victory.
Ruud, the seventh seed, had initially put the 20-year-old Spaniard on the defensive, but Alcaraz's performance improved significantly as the match progressed.
In the semi-finals, Alcaraz will go up against 22-year-old Italian Jannik Sinner, who overcame Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.
On the other side of the semi-final bracket, the world number three, Daniil Medvedev, will face the eighth seed, Alexander Zverev.
If Alcaraz and Medvedev were to meet in the final, it would be a rematch of their US Open semi-final encounter, which saw the 27-year-old Medvedev end the young Spaniard's impressive run at Flushing Meadows.
