Spain’s young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz is set for a busy schedule
after being named in the Davis Cup lineup for Spain. The 21-year-old is already
regarded as one of the best players currently playing in the men’s singles
category, along with Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
After being named in Spain's lineup for the Davis Cup, Alcaraz is set to have a busy schedule in the later stages of the season. The
team will also consist of Roberto Bautista Agut, Pablo Carreno Busta and Marcel
Granollers. Interestingly, the scheduled Davis Cup tie is set to take place a
week after the US Open. That’s not it as Alcaraz will also feature in the Laver
Cup which means that he is set to have very little rest in the later stages of
the season.
Alcaraz is going through an impressive season. The current
world number three is set to play in the final at Wimbledon on Sunday, where he will
face Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard booked his
place in the grand finale after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the
semifinal with a score of 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. On the other hand, his opponent
Djokovic booked his spot in the final after beating Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in
straight sets with a score of 6-4, 7-6, 6-4.
The final on Sunday will be a rematch of last year’s
final at Wimbledon. In that contest, Alcaraz came out on top in a
five-set thrilling contest with a score of 1–6,
7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4. If the Spaniard wins on Sunday, it will be his fourth
Grand Slam and second this season. He lifted the French Open for the
first time in his career after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in a five-set
thrilling contest with a score of 6–3,
2–6, 5–7, 6–1, 6–2.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
