Alcaras swept with injury! Rome defeated Rajovic in a quick race and attacked Master Jin in three laps?

On May 9, the second round of the ATP1000 Roma Masters, the third seed Alcalas took only 76 minutes to easily defeat Rajovic, who broke through the qualifying round 6-3, 6-3, and won the 25th victory of the season. Despite wearing protective gear on his knees, the Spanish genius still showed absolute control over the clay court and took a key step towards his third Masters championship. In the first set, Alcalas quickly got into the state and firmly controlled the rhythm with a score of up to 87%. In the third game, he seized the opponent's weakness of the second round and completed the break with a back shot, and then broke through with a 4-1 advantage. At the end of the session, although Rajovic tried to disrupt the rhythm through cutting changes, Alcalas made a inventory with a violent positive winning score.

The second round of the game shows more tactical wisdom. Facing Rajovic's improved quality of the time extension, Alcalas completed a key break through a 22-beat bottom line standoff in the fifth game. He then lost only 1 point in three consecutive serves, and finally secured the victory with an ACE ball with a speed of 206 kilometers per hour.

The biggest suspense in this game is not the winner, but the black protective gear on Alcalas' left knee. Since the Madrid stop withdrawing from the competition due to injury, his mobility has attracted much attention. However, judging from the data that only 8 unforced mistakes were sent throughout the game, the protective measures obviously did not affect its hitting quality. In the post-match interview, he understated: "This is just a precautionary measure, and my team has a careful plan for the clay season."

It is worth noting that if Alcalas wins the championship, he will become the third player to complete the "Three-Lang Golden Master" (that is, win three times each in the nine masters). Currently, its Masters championship map has covered Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome or the next piece of puzzle.

In the next round, Alcalas will face the winner between Jare and Mickelson. Potential quarter-final opponents include Medvedev, who has just returned, and may meet his old rival Sina in the semifinals. It is interesting to note that at this time last year, he was in the quarterfinals of 32 in Rome. Can he break the "Red Clay Curse" this year? The answer is about to be revealed!

This victory not only continued Alcalas' record of winning all four games against Rajovic, but also released a key signal - when the post-95 players collectively fell into a bottleneck, the post-00s leaders had quietly completed the injury management course. With a 23-2-loss season clay record, his journey to Roma has just begun.
