Tennis” second only to the “Big Three” in history! Alkaraz wins 11th 500 class title in Vienna

Carlos Alcaraz played steadily and defeated Australia's fifth seed Alex De Minaur 6:1, 6:4. Spain's second seed won five consecutive games in the Vienna Men's Tennis Championships without losing a set for the first time, and won its fourth championship this season.

"He hits the ball very flat, low, and very fast, so you have to work hard for every point. I have to stay focused and be fully committed from the beginning." This ATP500-level indoor hard court professional tournament ended in the Austrian capital this week. Aikalaz, who is not good at indoor hard court combat, competed again for the first time in four years and has gradually improved through competition. In this situation, after 4 consecutive second-set tiebreakers and 7 shutouts, the final showed an overwhelming advantage, qualifying in just 97 minutes. The 23-year-old former world champion said: "I tried to play more aggressively, and I am very happy to finally find the rhythm. I have learned a lot, and I have to continue to move forward, work hard on the indoor court step by step, and find more confidence on this kind of surface."

Alkaraz, who has won three championships in the Australian Open, Doha and Tokyo this season, won the Gold Cup for the first time in the European Music Capital. Not only did he rewrite his career against De Minaur to an even greater disparity of 7 wins and 0 losses, but he also won 26 consecutive victories in 500-level events, including 16 consecutive wins this year. Since the establishment of the 500-level professional men's tennis event in 2009, Ekaraz has won 11 crowns, temporarily ranking him fourth in history, second only to the legendary "Big Three". Currently, Swiss king Roger Federer has won 16 crowns; Spain's Rafael Nadal and Serbian star Novak Djokovic are second with 15 crowns each.
