The fans remained unhappy with the remarks of Juan Carlos Ferrero suggesting that Carlos Alcaraz is not the favorite towards his confrontation in the American semi-finals with Novak Djokovic. The Spanish coach admitted that daytime conditions could suit Alcaraz better, but under the lights of a night match, the advantage could change.
Alcaraz was right with the 21st seeded Jiri Lehecka, while Djokovic won his 11th consecutive victory on Taylor Fritz to set up a clash against each other in the semi-finals of the US Open 2025. It will be their ninth battle on tour, the Serbian leading the head to head 5-3.
Before the match, in an interview, Ferrero refused to call the world’s n ° 2 the favorite. He thinks that “it will be difficult” to beat the 38 -year -old Serb, especially if it is a night match like their last meeting at Australian Open, which Djokovic won.
His comments were shared online and fans did not have the controversial complaint of the oppressed.
“Gimmick of the Outsider against 38 Djokovic when your player is at his peak at the top of his powers. Next Level shamelessly,” wrote a fan.
“Do not even try this oppressed gadget with us JCF ✋🏽 Alcaraz was in great shape throughout, spent less energy than Novak and is younger, more fit and stronger. He is the favorite” “wrote another fan.
“A oppressed gadget against a 40-year-old washed grandfather who has not won slam or hard title in 2 years,” wrote a third fan.
Here are some other fans reactions that slam the coach of Carlos Alcaraz, Juan Carlos Ferrero, for his remarks.
“The coach of a 22 -year -old to his peak plays the oppressed gadget against a 38 -year -old player who is close to his retirement. Only those protected by the establishment can also be shameless 😬 😬 😬” wrote a fan.
“Gimmick of the Outsider against a 38-year-old grandfather who is more concerned about his daughter’s birthday than the United States Open,” wrote another fan.
“What a shame, 16 years of difference is not enough for Sta Bojou Grandfather, he also wants the sun to already slow the court of Arthur Ashe,” wrote another fan.
Carlos Alcaraz hopes “revenge” while Novak Djokovic appears to “spoil” people’s plans before their US Open SF
Carlos Alcaraz played against Novak Djokovic eight times during the ATP tour. The Serb has been playing for more than two decades, and Spanish thinks that everyone knows the game of the Grand Slam champion, and it doesn’t matter that he has not contributed since Wimbledon.
“We know all Novak’s matches. It doesn’t matter if he’s out of the tour since Wimbledon had played big games here. I know he’s hungry. I know his ambition for more. Uh then see. Uh, I know he has played a lot against him.
Meanwhile, Djokovic admits that Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are the best players in the world at the moment, and people are expecting an open American final between them, just like French open and Wimbledon ones earlier. However, the Serbian plots to “spoil” these plans.
“We know that these are the two best players in the world. Everyone is probably waiting for and anticipates the finals between the two. I will try to spoil most people ‘plans,” Djokovic said at a press conference in the United States.
Djokovic and Alcaraz met each of the Grand Slam events with the exception of the US Open. The semi-final of the New York Major this year will be their first meeting at Flushing Meadows. It occurs just a few months after Djokovic has managed an improbable triumph over the 22 -year -old Spaniard in Melbourne.
