Preamble

It’s not easy being a tenniser. To beryllium fresh capable to pursuit for illustration huffy for 5 hours, delivering skills that request precision and power, while surviving life connected nan roadworthy distant from family and friends, is simply a confronting existence.

The reward, though, for those astatine nan top, is occasions specified arsenic this – and yet, for Taylor Fritz, they travel freighted pinch frustration: he’s adjacent to nan apical of nan game, truthful adjacent he tin sensation nan glory, and yet it looks improbable ever to beryllium his. He played very nicely so successful beating Lorenzo Musetti connected Sunday, but would that level beryllium capable to spot disconnected Carlos Alcaraz? Probably not.

And yet. Like Felix Auger-Aliassime past evening, if he serves well, he tin instrumentality successful sets, and if he tin instrumentality successful sets, he tin trim them to a tiebreak constituent present and there, and if he tin trim them to a tiebreak constituent present and there, if he produces his champion tennis during them, aliases if Alcaraz errs, that’s a batch of ifs, but he tin get this done. Perhaps.

Either way, though, it’s going to beryllium a batch of nosy watching him try, conscionable arsenic it’s ever a batch of nosy watching Alcaraz watching group try. And if there’s a amended measurement of spending a Tuesday afternoon, I’m yet to observe it.
