Alcaraz Garfia defeats Murray
18-year old Alcaraz Garfia is coming off a win against former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray. The teenager defeated the former Grand Slam champion in straight sets, winning 5-7, 6-3, 6-2.
The two had just recently faced each other in Indian Wells, where Murray managed to take the match. The young Spaniard managed to bounce back from that loss, and find a way to win in Vienna.
Murray couldn’t catch a break in the match, as Alcaraz Garfia came out strong. The 18-year old broke Murray’s serve pretty early in the first set, to set a tone.
In the second set, it was Murray who came out strong, but that didn’t last long, as Alcaraz Garfia managed to take control, and minimize any momentum that Murray was able to find.
The young superstar has another big task in front of him with Berrettini. This will be his toughest match of the tournament, and will be looking to take it point by point against the Top 10 player
Berrettini’s Comeback
The 25-year old Italian had to figure out a way to comeback when he found himself quickly down a set against Nikoloz Basilashvili in the round of 16. It took three sets, but Berrettini managed to book his spot in the quarterfinals with a 6(5)-7(7), 6-2, 6-3 win over the Georgian tennis player, in a match that lasted just over two hours.
Berrettini’s serve was on fire, as he recorded 22 aces to just one double fault in the round of 16 match. His opponent only managed five aces to four double faults. This was quite the increase from his five aces he recorded in his previous match.
The Italian not only fired off 22 aces, but he went on to win 82 percent of the time when he landed his first serve, and followed it up with 58 percent on his second.
He held a 3-2 head-to-head record against Basilashvili heading into the match and manage to further the lead to 4-2 with the win.
He’ll now face Alcaraz Garfia in the quarterfinals, who he’s never seen before on tour.
Head-to-Head
This will be the first meeting between these two players as their head-to-head record currently stands at 0-0.
