By Drafting ATP in Spanish
Carlos Alcaraz continues to shape a great version in Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, where he can underpin his status as a man to beat in brick dust. The Spanish climbed this Friday to the semifinals signing its 23rd victory of the season, a figure that nobody most reached this year at the ATP Tour. Surrounded by an audience that wishes to take him in volandas to the Cup, the Murcia continues to harden his game in one of the most special stages of his career.
The first standard head had to cross a game game to return to the penultimate round, defeating the Australian Alex de Miñaur, a player in star form. In a clash that confronted the two players with more games won in 2025, the intensity of the blows was boiling from the beginning, giving a frantic rhythm battle in the city. A supreme effort in the hands of the twice champion before assaulting the decisive rounds of the tournament.
“Alex is a great player on all surface, he can also make a tennis tennis on whipped land,” said Alcaraz, who achieved his 12th victory followed in the Catalan tournament. “I feel very happy to have defeated a Top 10. He has been able to play a good level in the final stretch of the game and I am glad to give myself another opportunity to play a semifinal in Barcelona.”
After a tournament to save energy was the main premise, Alcaraz immersed himself in an absolute wear match. The Australian leg speed, a permanent toll on the track, and the memory of the semifinal epic of 2022, where Alcaraz saved a game ball, turned the clash into the great stone of the week for the Murcian. The demand, of course, soon appeared on the track.
Juan Carlos Ferrero’s pupil had to row how beautiful the rudder of the game, totally scrambled in first heart attack games. Alcaraz needed to redouble his perseverance, raising twice a disadvantage break before catching a very hard manga. The Murcian, before one of Miñaur who attacked the game emulating his mythical left, needed to open the repertoire of blows to turn the script of the match.
“I started quite badly with the service. I have had a bad time with the serve, I was not playing badly but I complained with that first service,” Alcaraz explained. “Then, I have been improving and I have managed to calm down. I have thought again, I have tried to find a good tennis. Alex has started very strong, playing aggressively. The first set has been very intense. After winning it, I have played a great tennis in the second.”
The advantage on the scoreboard fell like lead on the track, where Alcaraz offered an example of competitive constancy. The Spanish gave a second fissure set, finding the way to victory without granting a single break ball in the final act. If Montecarlo’s wear threatened to divert the blows of the Murcian, the duel in the quarterfinals of Barcelona sent a completely opposite message. Where the legs do not reach, the Spanish has enough heart to compensate for it.
The effort leaves Alcaraz already surrounded by the strongest in the painting, with no choice but to cross a high flight path. The Spanish will play the semifinals against the Frenchman Arthur Fils, classified to the penultimate round of the tournament after the withdrawal of Stefanos Tsitsipas. Carlos dominates 1-0 the history Lexus ATP Head2head over the Gallic, which he traced in three sleeves days ago in the quarterfinals of Montecarlo.
For his part, De Miñaur leaves Barcelona after signing another competitive week on the European Bolved Land tour. The Australian, semifinalist days ago at the ATP Masters 1000 in Montecarlo, ascends to No. 5 in the PIF ATP Live Race to Turin, confirming as one of the players with the best form of the locker room. Alex will be one of the main serial heads at the Mutua Madrid Open from next week.
Did you know what …?
Carlos Alcaraz is the third active player with more individual titles on beaten land. The Murcian, who has raised nine trophies on the slowest surface of the circuit, only follows the steps of Casper Ruud (11) and Novak Djokovic (20) on this type of track. A huge scenario in its professional career, the Count Trophy of Godó can become this week the first tournament in which the tricampeon vitola holds.
