Carlos Alcaraz Faces Choice: Extend the Celebration or Wake Early at US Open
Carlos Alcaraz's Match Details
Carlos Alcaraz, at 21 years old and world number 3, is set to battle Dutch player Botic Van de Zandschulp, age 28 and ranked 74th in the ATP standings, in the second round of the US Open. The match is scheduled for this Thursday in local New York time, but for Central European fans, it will be well past midnight on Friday. Alcaraz shines as a star in the Arthur Ashe Stadium, having opened the evening session against Australian Li Tu.
Fan Dilemma
Fans must choose between staying up late to watch Alcaraz extend his winning streak or waking up early to catch the action. He aims for his sixteenth consecutive Grand Slam victory against a familiar opponent he has defeated twice before, including matches in Basel 2022 (6-4, 6-2) and Australia 2021 (6-1, 6-4, 6-4). Alcaraz is expected to take the court around 9 PM local time, which is 3 AM Spanish time. Before his match, the women's singles competition will commence at 7 PM with Naomi Osaka facing Karolina Muchova. This thrilling tournament, concluding on Sunday, September 8, can be viewed on Movistar Plus+ across its sports channels and online at Mundo Deportivo for live updates.
