After his cramps in the middle of a match against Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals of Roland-Garros, Carlos Alcaraz will return to competition. He will challenge Arthur Son in the 1/6th final at Queen’s.
Carlos Alcaraz returns to the circuit after his disappointment in the Roland-Garros semi-final against Novak Djokovic. If he probably keeps a bitter taste from his defeat against the Serb, the native of El Palmar surely intends to catch up on the grass. As world number 2, he obviously has Wimbledon in his sights. The Iberian champion will start his season on this fast surface at Queen’s on Tuesday June 20. For his entry into the running, he will challenge a player of his generation. This is the tricolor Arthur Fils who very recently joined the world top 100.
The Frenchman will have a mountain to overturn if he wants to reach the round of 16. He is undeniably progressing but his level is lower than that of Carlos Alcaraz. Even if the grass is not the surface of the Spaniard, it is difficult to see the tricolor annoy his future opponent. But we never know. At Wimbledon, the former world number 1, for example, has never passed the round of 16 in two appearances. “You have to be more careful than on other surfaces, so for me the most difficult thing on grass is moving around. As far as I’m concerned, moving on grass is more tiring,” he said. commented on at a press conference on Sunday June 18.
The match between Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Fils at Queen’s will be on from 2 p.m. The game will be refereed by Mohamed Lahyani.
The Queen’s London tournament will be broadcast on the TV channel ofEurosport. The meeting is also available on the streaming platforms of the mobile application.
