Carlos Alcaraz has advanced to the semi-finals of the ongoing Barcelona Open. In the clay court tournament, the Spaniard defeated the South Korean player Kwon Soon-woo and Jaume Munar of Spain in the first and second rounds.
Alcaraz set up a clash with the World No.3 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals. The youngest Miami Open champion outclassed Tsitsipas in a three-setter game by 6-4, 5-7 and 6-2.
Like many other tennis players in the past, Carlos too slammed Stefanos’ bathroom breaks during the match. Previously, the Greek player has received warnings on the court for taking lengthy bathroom breaks.
Carlos Alcaraz has never seen this kind of bathroom breaks
During the post-match interview, Alcaraz expressed his opinion on the bathroom breaks Stefanos Tsitsipas took in the course of the match. The Spaniard was asked what he thought when his opponent went to the bathroom while playing a set.
Carlos stated- “Sincerely I don’t know. I’ve never seen anyone go to the bathroom in the middle of a break. I don’t know the exact rule, but I do know that it was a warning, although I don’t know that it was a colon. But that, I had never seen.”
Alcaraz will now play against the Australian player Alex de Minaur in the upcoming semi-finals of the Barcelona Open 2022.
