Wimbledon 2025: Alcaraz, steel cuffs and authority towards the rooms | Tennis | Sports

In case there was any questions, Carlos Alcaraz sends in London. This is expressed by the Murcian every time he squeezes his fist, turns to his own and squeezes the double row of teeth, as if he had just folded Everest. Symptom of its appetite and a state, of a moment: imposing. The leaves of the calendar of this Wimbledon fly, the Spanish disembarks in the quarterfinals thanks to the comeback against the Russian Andrey Rublev (6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4 and 6-4, after 2h 43m) and the fence continues to narrow itself, limiting towards a triple direction: His, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sin, the three riders called to resolve this tournament that Spanish continues to solve with a coup of authority.

Until now, the Serbian has launched the message that is still there, that he must have him, that no one discards him because the legend accompanies her and if anyone knows of impossible in this tennis is him, that of the eternal resurgence. The Italian has also positioned himself, who claims to have passed and have completely forgotten Roland Garros; Difficult, but maybe so; The ghosts tend to leave the box when divided in front of the great enemy, but for the moment, roundness, vertigo and record – so only 17 games given on the way to the eighths – for their part. And on the opposite side of the painting, Alcaraz continues to progress, between sweat and whistle.

Until today, no crossroads for him, perhaps the second against Oliver Trvet, but all resolved with sufficiency according to the current hierarchy. Seen what is seen, it does not seem that there may be an adversary that can really get it except the two mentioned, although the British Cameron Norrie will try to test him at the next station. It does not seem, in any case, sufficient obstacle to stop a trance tennis player who since April is dispatched parties and tournaments with great decision. The sparkle is not lacking, but this Alcaraz is first of all resolutive. Win, unique and primary end. First more trophies, and then the fun will be recovered.

Today, a competitor is essentially contemplated. To a rock that, as much as a set can be left along the way, three in these first four commitments, at all times gives off the feeling that the triumph is of its property. Fabio Fognini cornered him on the first day, but raffled the fire with poise and continues to underline. Also this time before the extreme Rublev, who does not lack will and in a version nueva; Faced with adversity, self -control, continuity, a prolonged face to face. It fails to unlock in the greats-saying presences in the quarterfinals, never beyond-or against the strongest-0-11 against the top-5-, but this time he does not deviate or fight himself.

It is Roblev, the talent that has been expected for a long time, too promising and disappointing in equal parts because to his right of fire that treacherous mind and in permanent combustion, pure asynchrony. It is Roblev, the uncontrollable nerve boy who lives locked in a fire – fogging and more fire in there – than technicians, psychologists or he manages to turn off. It is Rubleb, a tennis player who is usually almost always up there, in the advanced stations, but without media or medium -sized and all that this entails: the same unstoppable as self -destructive. In a field that requires balances, its character is poison in the body.

Rublev competes to the compass of his mood, always revolted, although he does not lack guerrilla instinct. As soon as he goes back, because tools and virtues do not lack; Above all, one of the drives more powerful of the circuit. Although it has little margin to maneuver, it is able to turn the wrist and download the shot in the blink of an eye. However, this speed in the execution is missing the point of moderation that clarifies the interpretation of the points and grants the necessary linearity to face challenges of as much demand as a confrontation to five sets with Alcaraz. They are two antagonistic mentalities, two very different worlds.

However, this time both converge. Nor is the Russian lost nor any trace of disconnection, disguise or Alcaraz lagoon: not from this Alcaraz of recent times, a tennis player who progresses under a motto: when he wants and as he wants. To which some type of setback appears, that is, he can give up some land, reacts with temperance, maturity and security. It tries by all the means of Moscow, sustained and patient, but to each onslaught replica the Murcian with legs and more legs, extraordinary interns and, welcome, gunpowder with the service: closes with 22 acessignificant mark, and affects the message: in case there was any questions …
