NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz won a behind-the-scenes shot in his first game against Arthur Rinderknech in the fourth round on Sunday.
The 2nd seed Alcaraz ended the love-holding lovers, making the separate into 2 in a spectacular way. Alcaraz moved to the right to the right and found that he had played college tennis at Texas A&M for mistakes.
But Alcaraz wrapped the racket around his body and popped up (see here).
Rinderknech might be surprised, because it wasn’t over yet, and he hit a volley that fell into the net. A big smile crossed his face as Alcaraz looked at the stands of coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. Alcaraz then placed his right index finger behind his ear as if acknowledging the audience’s cheers.
Alcaraz eventually put it in the finale.
He lost a total of 23 games in the first three games of the year, and he won the first of five Grand Slam trophys in 2022.
Alcaraz tried to reach his fourth major quarterfinal in 2025 at 22 years and 3 months old, for the first time in his career he scored a quarter of 4-4 in a season. He lost to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open in January and won the French Open in June and ranked first in the final at Wimbledon in July.
The victory over Rinder Knech will also make Alcaraz the youngest person in the open era that began in 1968, reaching the 13 Grand Slam quarterfinals.
RinderKnech made his first appearance in the professional fourth round.
