The US Open 2025 is progressing, and Carlos Alcaraz has made it into the second week after three matches where he has shown great superiority. It may have been his most complete first week in a Grand Slam. In the round of 16, the player from Murcia will face someone he knows well, Arthur Rinderknech. The Frenchman made things extremely difficult for him at Queen's two seasons ago, taking him to a tiebreak in the third set.
A tennis player with a strong offensive game, his best weapon is his serve. At 1.96m tall, he can push his opponents to their limits with his serve and then open up the game with his forehand in that serve+1 strategy. He always aims to move forward and finish points at the net. It is quite likely that we will see him approach the net about ten times per set and try to play aggressively, which is where he is weaker compared to Carlos. His backhand is his weakest point. He often uses it defensively rather than offensively, so this could be a key for Alcaraz to secure victory.
