Alcaraz “doesn’t feel great” when he falls out from Miami Open | Tennis messages

Carlos Alcaraz number three said: “He didn’t feel great” when he suffered a shock from the Miami Open when the Belgian veteran David Goffin hit a 5-7, 6: 4, 6: 3 victory.

The 34-year-old Goffin beat Alcaraz in Astana in her last meeting in Astana three years ago, and when he felt that the Spaniard was not his best on Friday in the opening set of her encounter in the hard rock stadium, he was attacking.

The 55th Ranged Goffin, whose world rank of 2017 reached number 7, met some glorious winners, while Alcaraz had to deal with casual mistakes.

The slightly built goffin was in all three sentences with a break, but after recovering Alcaraz in the first relaxation, he showed posture and calm to stay at the top.

“It is this kind of night that I will certainly remember – against Carlos and in such a stadium. And the night that gave me a lot of confidence to continue,” said Goffin.

Alcaraz was dull in his assessment of his performance.

“In general, it was a bad level of mine, I didn’t play well,” said Alcaraz, who said he felt a little difficult in his legs, even though he got into the game well.

“I thought I would play really good tennis, but it didn’t happen … in the third set to play a separation and it is really difficult to come back,” he added.

Djokovic progress, but Medledew sent home

Novak Djokovic started a victory against the Australian Rinky Hijikata, while Daniil Medledew also went home early after suffering a 6: 2, 6: 3 defeat against Spain’s 56th place Jaume Munar.

Medwedew, the 2023 Miami champion, showed his frustration and hurled his racket several times when the 27-year-old in Mallorca, born in Munich, scored his third career victory against a top 10 opponent.

The Russian made 32 casual mistakes and although he gave himself the chance of a comeback in the last game, he could not convert two breakpoints.

Medvedev confirmed that he had a problem with his back, but said it was not an excuse and gave Munar an honor.

“Yes, I was not physically 100%, but I tried my best to get into the match,” he said. “Every day was always better. I had some problems for Indian fountains. Can happen.

“He played well, that’s why (he won). I would not go to the match if I would definitely know that I am not ready to win.”

Djokovic, who lost his first match in Indian fountain to a happy loser, was unable to achieve another disappointment when he defeated Hijikata 6: 0, 7: 6 (7/1) with the 86th place to make his three -matt defeat.

Djokovic, who won a record title at Masters 1000, has reached Rafael Nadal equally for most game gains (410) since the series was introduced in 1990.

Karen Khachanov made sure that the Nick Kyrgios-comeback trail was cut with a 6-0 win with 7: 6 (7/3).

The Australian Kyrgios, who has been struggling since the wrist operation, defeated Mackenzie McDonald in the first round to achieve his first victory at tour level since October 2022, but was unable to overcome Khachanov, who reached Miami in Miami in 2023.

Swiatek and Raducanu progress

In the women’s draw, the IGA Swiatek in the world number two immersed in the third round after surviving a second set dip to defeat the France Caroline Garcia with 6: 2, 7: 5.

Swiatek had ease Garcia on the same stage in Indian Wells at the beginning of this month, but she had a little more resistance in the Hard Rock Stadium.

Swiatek was in the second set 3: 1 below and had to save a setpoint when he served 5: 4 before gathering to win the last three games.

Swiatek lost to Mirra Andreeva in the semi-finals in Indian Wells, with the 17-year-old Russian winning the title.

Andreeva will be in action later on Friday when she starts the Russian Russian Veronika Kudermetova.

“My energy level went down very quickly. So I tried to wake myself up to keep the intensity from the first sentence, follow through and do it,” said Swiatek.

In the grandstand court, the British Emma Raducanu showed in a two-hour, 53-minute battle to overcome the British Emma Raducanu to overcome the American American American American Navarro 7-6 (8/6), 2-6, 7-6 (7/4).
