Alcaraz advances to the US Open quarterfinals through a subtly deceptive strategy behind his back
Carlos Alcaraz Continues Dominance at U.S. Open, Reaches Fourth Major Quarterfinal of 2025
In a thrilling display of tennis, the second-seeded Carlos Alcaraz has advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025 U.S. Open. This marks his fourth major quarterfinal of the year, a remarkable achievement for the 22-year-old Spanish sensation.
Alcaraz's journey through the tournament has been nothing short of spectacular. In the fourth round, he faced Jiri Lehecka from the Czech Republic, a player making his debut in the fourth round of a major. Despite the pressure, Lehecka put up a valiant fight, but Alcaraz emerged victorious with a score of 6:4, 6:2, 6:4.
The match was filled with highlight-worthy moments. Early in the contest, Alcaraz closed a love hold in spectacular fashion, moving to his right at midcourt and flicking a shot up the line. In the first set, Alcaraz executed a rare behind-the-back shot, a move he practices occasionally. Rinderknech, seemingly startled, hit a volley that landed in the net.
In the second set, Alcaraz produced another no-look passing winner, a testament to his exceptional court vision and skill. He also won the set in a tiebreaker, showcasing his resilience and determination.
Alcaraz's coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, was in the stands, watching his protégé's every move. The young Spanish star has been in exceptional form this year, winning the U.S. Open title in 2022 and the French Open in 2025.
However, Alcaraz's path to the title has not been without challenges. He lost to No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the final at Wimbledon this year and was defeated by Novak Djokovic at the quarterfinal stage of the Australian Open.
Despite these setbacks, Alcaraz remains confident and enjoys his style of play. He expressed that it fits well with the energy at the U.S. Open.
Alcaraz's opponent in the quarterfinals will be No. 20 Jiri Lehecka from the Czech Republic. This is the first time in Alcaraz's career that he has gone 4 for 4 in major quarterfinals in a single season. With his exceptional form and determination, Alcaraz will undoubtedly be a force to reckon with in the upcoming matches.
