Peter Gojowczyk wanted to put in a soft program on the Saturday-free Saturday: three games in qualification, two afterwards in the main draw - they left their mark, the hip pinches. No wonder. Gojowczyk, currently number 141 in the ATP ranking, is in the round of the last 16 players in a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, and from the week after next he will sniff the top 100 again; should it even go to the quarter-finals, the top 80 would be there.
The man from Munich was in 39th place in 2018; For the first time he became really aware of the German tennis world in 2014, at the courageous Davis Cup performance against France. Gojo has a tournament victory on the balance sheet, also France, in 2017 in Metz.
Peter Gojowczyk: That is his opponent Carlos Alcaraz
In the way of the first quarter-finals there is someone who - all experts and non-experts are certain - will help shape the future of professional tennis if he stays healthy: Carlos Alcaraz, the 18-year-old Spaniard, likes to be compared to Rafael Nadal. The world number 55 celebrated at the US Open. With his five-set win over Stefanos Tsitsipas his greatest career success, Tsitsipas declared after the end that he had never seen anyone hit as hard as Alcaraz.
The question is how fit Alcaraz is after the Tsitsipas thriller , physically and mentally. If you look at him, however, he could still be very fit. Especially since he knows Juan Carlos Ferrero, former number 1 in the world, also one of the fittest players as a coach.
The duel between Gojowczyk and Alcaraz is the first meeting of the two.
