grigor Dimitrov ended Carlos’s adventure Alcaraz in it Miami Open 2024 and along the way he canceled the dream of the Sunshine Open. In previous matches we had seen Carlos perform at a spectacular level, also against top rivals such as Sinner, Zverev or Medvedev in Indian Wells, but the question remained as to what would happen when he was not superior to his rival from the beginning. And he has not been before Grigor Dimitrov and has fallen 6-2 and 6-4 in 92 minutes of play.
Carlos didn’t play well, TRUE. His service was poor and this led him to not have continuity in his game or find solutions. But the fact is that Dimitrov he played very well. Let us remember that he is a veteran player, accustomed to the great stages, and a quality of play that has been compared to that of Roger Federer. The trick that best suits Carlos was played – if you are capable of carrying it out, of course -: playing him fast, also risking a lot, especially to the rest. His service was also Wellhad some luck, but luck has to find you playing well so that it is useful for something.
And Grigor came out very convinced of its possibilities and with much success. After losing the first three games without knowing very well what to do, Carlos lost the first set andand amended a little in the second, in which he went from a ball to see 1-5 to 4-4, but he did not manage to go to to dominate nor that Dimitrov would put highly strung. Let us remember what was said about his seniority.
Carlos Alcaraz You can now prepare for the clay court season. Grigor Dimitrov will face Alexander Zverev looking, if he wins, to return to the ‘top 10’. They will play the other semifinal Sinner and Medvedev. The Miami Open 2024 will be in other hands but the fight for the number 1 It is very alive, although Carlos has lost points for not having reached the semifinals last year.
