Carlos Alcaraz has known how to endure to secure victory in his debut at the US Open 2024. The Spanish tennis player, ranked number three in the world, defeated Li Tu with a final score of 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, and 6-1 in 2 hours and 43 minutes of play. Despite a strong start, the player from Murcia struggled against the daring of the Australian, who tried to give him a big scare that ended up being just a footnote.

Although Carlos was the youngest, the nerves of a beginner were noticeable on the part of the Australian, as it was his first time playing in the main draw of the US Open. Li tried to develop his game with his serve, followed by approaches to the net, but the Spanish player was quick to react and didn't let him escape. Almost with a video game-like tennis, the Spaniard swiftly advanced in the match, precise with his serve and pressuring his opponent's one-handed backhand to cause damage on that side.

The crowd cheered on Tu to try to lift the spirits of the Australian as he could do little to prevent Alcaraz from taking the first set of the match. However, the story changed somewhat in the second set. The Australian player resisted more, gaining confidence on court and feeling comfortable with his serve, even to the point of attempting an underarm serve that hit the net, prompting immediate laughter from Li.

Just when it seemed like Alcaraz was going to take charge, the Australian fought back, leveling the score and creating hopes for the match. Right at that moment, the energies of the player from Murcia plummeted, with a streak of 1 point won and 9 lost, getting dangerously close to the edge. The tipping point came when, on the fifth set point, Li confirmed the scare by putting the Spaniard in trouble.

Doubts arise on Alcaraz's side

That blow immediately shook Carlitos' confidence, although he found reward in patience to regain control of the match. The reaction after that break was impressive, unlocking the game in his favor to finish swiftly. Tu kept fighting, but Alcaraz appeared calm and focused on his task. Although not a bagel, Alcaraz ended the match displaying a high level of tennis.
