Alcaraz in trouble against De Jong at Roland-Garros?

Le 29/05/2024 à 17h00 par Guillem Casulleras Punsa

Carlos Alcaraz was in doubt on Court Philippe Chatrier against Jesper De Jong in the 2nd round of the 2024 French Open. The Spaniard got off to a perfect start, winning the first two sets quite easily (6-3, 6-4).

But things got complicated at the start of the 3rd set, as the Dutchman raised his game and Alcaraz lost his rhythm, conceding 5 consecutive games (2-6).

The world No.3 seemed to raise his game at the start of the 4th set, and he'll need to keep up the momentum if he's not to have a few scares between now and the end of the match.
