Alcaraz is struggling a lot on hard court and is barely winning against guys that arent in top 50 even. This shouldnt happen to the no1 in the world. Look at Djokovic he destroyed Fritz in straight sets and first set 6-0. I think that if Djokovic goes up against Alcaraz he will beat him easily
Again, a good comeback from Alcaraz. He is definitely proving that he has great potential to come back from bad situations. I was a little surprised to see him training and losing the first set in the match, not gonna lie. But he did make it good comeback by winning the second and third sent back to back.
In the next match, which is the semi-final, he is going to face Harkacz. The match will actually start very soon. I think he is also going to win the match. This semi-final should not be a big problem for him in my opinion.
Now in the semifinals he lost the second set and now leads the deciding set 4-1 which is going to be an easy win. Earlier he had lost the first set 2-6. Hurkacz is really good, as he had won against Tsitsipas and other leading players to reach the semifinals.
In the women's event, Muchova have reached the finals winning against Sabalenka 64-77 6-3 6-2. In the other semifinal Gauff defeated Swiatek 62-77 6-3 4-6.
Yeah, Muchova v Gauff is not the final many were expecting. But yeah, that's tennis if they are in the final they deserve it. My bet in this one will be on Coco as she has been showing top-notch performance in Cincinnati so far. Home soil and surface give here advantage against the Czech who has also played exceptionally well until today. Gauff is a universal player with great defensive and attacking skills, good serve, exceptional fitness and athleticism, mental toughness - she's almost perfect.
