I no longer feel unsafe on grass. I think that sometimes it’s not just about hitting hard, but also about choosing the right shots and playing the opponent in the important moments. Let’s be pacient. And often when I was, I won the point. That’s what I need to do. Speaks Holger RuneDanish, 20 years old, one of the new wave tennis players who achieved a pass to the third round of the tournament this Friday.
To install Rune song. song Carlos Alcaraz. Gana Jannik Sinner, in his case, traveling through the lower part of the box, already with both feet in the Wimbledon round of 16. Young warriors take little time to adapt to a surface as special as grass. The fastest to do it, it is known, the Spanish, who has arrived as Queen’s champion and number 1 in the world and did not even need to complete his best match to overcome Alexandre Muller by 6-4, 7-6(2) and 6-3. only Lorenzo Musettiwho walks several steps behind, stopped on the path before the heavy hand of Hubert Hurkaczsemifinalist in 2021.
Absent Nadal and retired Federerthe renovation is in progress, even without the permission of Novak Djokovic, seven times champion and winner of the last four editions. No specialists are needed. We are facing all-terrain players, willing to standardize their qualities also in this unique territory.
I use cut and drop more. I use unorthodox blows more than on other surfaces. It’s fun. When you make a good drop shot it is very effective, because the ball barely bounces. It’s a fun surface, says Rune, the sixth seed, after beating the Spanish Roberto Carballs by 6-3, 7-6 (3) and 6-4.
first win
The Dane, champion this season in Munich, a finalist in Monte Carlo and Rome and a semifinalist in Acapulco and Queen’s, had not won a match at Wimbledon until he prevailed in the first round against George Loffhagen. He left at the outset last year, before Marcos Giron. awaits you Alexander Davidovich, junior champion of the tournament in 2017 and capable of beating him a few weeks ago on the clay of the Caja Mágica. On the horizon, a hypothetical matchup with Alcaraz, who will face the reborn Chilean Nicols Jarry.
Serious, temperate, without the waste of ingenuity to which we are accustomed, the Murcian shows plenty of resources to get rid of Muller, who is playing his first Wimbledon at 26. It is not normal for Alcaraz to add 41 errors and only 32 winners. But he ends up making the most of his options, despite converting only two of his 14 break points. And he saves energy for this Saturday, because, like all the tennis players in his sector, he must play again due to adjustments caused by the rain. It was not my best game on grass, but I felt good and I had a lot of fun, he commented after achieving his first victory in the Central, where he fell in the round of 16 in 2022 against Sinner.
The Italian, 22 years old, drops a set against Quentin Halys: 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4. He retired due to injury against Alexander Bublik in Halle quarters, but seems whole. A year ago he saw how Djokovic lifted two sets in quarterfinals. He is the one who has reached the highest flight in this tournament. “It’s an important victory for me. I tried to keep the right attitude on the track, which was the main thing,” he said.
