Carlos Alcaraz played an incredible match to down Karen Khachanov 6-0 6-2 and advanced to the Hamburg semifinals.
The Spaniard improved to 35-5 on the year, 13-0 in ATP 500 events and secured the 6th semifinal in the last 10 events played. Just an incredible level from the Spaniard who played his best match in Hamburg by far today and it comes from all the practising he's doing at the moment. Speaking after the match, Alcaraz said:
"I played unbelievable today, probably one of my best matches this
year. I'm pretty happy with the performance that I'm playing in this tournament. Yesterday was amazing as well. I'm training every day to be solid and at the same time to be aggressive. That is my game."
Alcaraz is currently ranked 6th in the world and with a win over Cerundolo in the semifinals, the Spaniard would move up to number 5 which would be a new career high. If he would end up winning the event, he would be ranked number four on Monday which is incredible. On the semifinal, Alcaraz said:
"I will try to do my best in the semi-finals to be able to do the same result as Juan Carlos, and of course trying to fight into the final. Of course to beat Juan Carlos, to try to win this tournament means a lot. If I win this tournament, I will make jokes to him that I am better than him. It would be amazing."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
