In a dazzling display of talent, Carlos Alcaraz made a grand entrance at his first Olympic Games. The young Spanish tennis sensation, fresh off his victory at the Musketeers’ Cup, showcased his skills once again as he breezed past Lebanese player Hady Habib. Now, he is set to face a tougher opponent in the second round of the Olympic event.
The superstar’s next match will be against the winner of the match between Dutch player Tallon Griekspoor and Greek player Petros Tsitsipas, brother of the renowned Stefanos Tsitsipas. Tsitsipas entered the draw after British player Cameron Norrie withdrew, setting the stage for an exciting showdown against Alcaraz.
For those eager to catch Alcaraz in action, the Greek player Tsitsipas is not just a singles contender but also competes in doubles alongside his brother at Paris. Despite being ranked No. 74 in the ATP doubles circuit, Tsitsipas has not played singles since 2021. On the other side, Dutch player Griekspoor could potentially be Alcaraz’s next rival, with Alcaraz boasting a 2-0 record against him in their previous encounters.
As fans eagerly await Alcaraz’s second-round match, anticipation is high for what promises to be a thrilling clash. With his second singles match marking his third appearance in Paris after his standout debut in both singles and doubles over the weekend, all eyes are on the rising star.
Mark your calendars for Monday, July 29, or Tuesday, July 30, as Alcaraz gears up for his next challenge. The exact time of his second-round match is yet to be confirmed, but one thing is certain – an electrifying performance awaits from the sensational Spanish player.
