Alcaraz is on the verge of elimination 0-2! Lost two sets in a row at the US Open, 1-6, the No. 3 seed was too strong
At 7:10 on September 9, the second semi-final of the US Open men's singles staged a wonderful showdown. The top seed and defending champion Aka attacked to challenge the 2021 US Open champion Mei. The focus battle is about to begin! Frankly speaking, it will not be a surprise whether the two of them win or lose. Aka already holds two Grand Slam titles. He defeated Djokovic in this year's Wimbledon final and is aiming for his third Grand Slam title. Mr. Mei performed even better in hard court events, reaching the Grand Slam finals 4 times, winning 1 crown and 1 runner-up at the US Open and 2 runner-ups at the Australian Open.
In the first set, both sides failed to break serve. Aka took the lead and suppressed step by step, but Mei didn't give up too much and dragged into the tie-break at 6-6. In the tie-break, Aka made consecutive mistakes after 3-3 and suddenly collapsed, losing the tie-break 3-7. In the first set, Aka once got 2 break points in the 4th game, but failed to break serve!
In the second set, Aka plummeted and fell behind 1-4! In the 5th game, Mr. Mei broke serve strongly and made a wonderful counterattack that greatly boosted morale. Mr. Mei even spread his hands to celebrate, 5-1! In the 7th game, President Mei served to win the set and easily won 2 set points. After that, Mr. Mei returned the ball and hit the net and lost a point. Then Mr. Mei made a mistake on his first serve, and Aka returned the ball and hit the net. 1-6!
Aka actually lost a set again, making people feel that the game was over? Unexpectedly, Aka collapsed and suddenly fell into a state of misfire. Next, can Aka complete the comeback? Can we still make a counterattack and reach the final to meet Djokovic?
Public opinion before the game was actually generally optimistic that the 20-year-old Alcaraz could win. However, there were continuous accidents. In this strong dialogue, he was obviously at a disadvantage. In fact, during Aka's promotion journey, he eliminated strong enemies along the way. In addition, Mr. Mei’s performance in hard court events is really tough. Even if Aka manages to pass the test in the end, it will take a lot of energy. Not to mention that currently, Aka is trailing 0-2 and is on the verge of elimination.
