Gael Monfils knocks out the worst Carlos Alcaraz of all time in Cincinnati

Gael Monfils has eliminated the worst Carlos Alcaraz ever at the Cincinnati Open. You can lose, but you can not destroy your racket frustrated and that is what the Spaniard did, which gives a bad impression before the U.S. Open.
The Spaniard could not take the win after losing the tie-break of the second set once the match was resumed after being suspended due to bad weather the day before (it is unfortunate that there are in 2024 Masters 1000 that still do not have indoor courts).
He did a lot of damage to the Murcian and got break in favor and got 5-4 and serve to win the match. He did not fail (4-6/7-6/6/6-4).
Monfils did not make things easy for Alcaraz who had not played for some time and who felt he had to adapt again to the hard court after having played on grass and clay in recent weeks.
The player from El Palmar took advantage of the break point he had in his favor in the first set to win the first set 6-4. In the second, however, the serves won and the match had to be decided in the sudden death. As we have already said, in that decisive moment the match had to be stopped and in the return the Frenchman continued with his good sensations, won the sudden death and broke the Murcian from the start.
In the third set we saw the worst Alcaraz ever, hitting his racquets against the ground in the purest Novak Djokovic style but losing patience, not regaining confidence. A Monfils who was not serving better than the previous day was hurting the Murcian and got a break in favor and got 5-4 and serve to win the match. He did not fail (4-6/7-6/6/6-4). With 38 springs, Monfils sent home Alcaraz.
As we say, we can understand that 'Carlitos' can lose to a player as dangerous as the Gaul, what we do not understand is his frustration, his childish behavior destroying his racquet. We had never seen the player from El Palmar like that and we hope we never see him again.
