Carlitos Alcaraz is unstoppable. After his title in Beijing, he is already in the quarter-finals in Shanghai. He beat Monfils on the fast lane: victory in two sets by 6-4 and 7-5.
The Frenchman said before the match that “99%” was going to be destroyed by Carlitos. And he was right.
The Murcian did not need to step on the accelerator to reach the quarter-finals. He showed his best tennis at the exact moment to win the first set and in the second he finished it at the end to finish the set with 7-5.
A brutal sequence
Alcaraz accumulates twelve consecutive victories with the Laver Cup, the China Open and now the Shanghai ATPYo. Very good tennis in this final stretch of the season… with the Davis Cup final in Malaga on the horizon. And with the presence of Rafa Nadal.
