15-match Grand Slam win streak of Carlos Alcaraz comes to an end as he loses to Botic van de Zandschulp in U.S. Open


Carlos Alcaraz, a 21-year-old rising star in tennis, saw his 15-match Grand Slam unbeaten streak come to an end at the U.S. Open with a loss to Botic van de Zandschulp in the second round. Alcaraz, who had won the French Open and Wimbledon earlier this year, was the favorite to win the tournament but struggled to find his form against the Dutch player.

The match was one-sided, with Alcaraz making uncharacteristic mistakes and struggling to keep up with van de Zandschulp’s powerful shots. Despite a brief resurgence in the third set, Alcaraz ultimately fell in straight sets, ending his earliest exit from a major tournament since Wimbledon in 2021.

Alcaraz’s coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, tried to help him stay focused, but the Spaniard was visibly frustrated by his performance. He was unable to produce any winners in the first set and struggled to match van de Zandschulp’s pace and accuracy.

The loss was a disappointing end to what had been a successful year for Alcaraz, who had previously performed well at the U.S. Open and other major tournaments. Although he showed flashes of his talent throughout the match, he ultimately could not overcome van de Zandschulp’s consistent play.

Despite the defeat, Alcaraz remains one of the most promising young talents in tennis and is expected to continue challenging the top players in the future. His loss at the U.S. Open will serve as a learning experience as he aims to build on his success and compete for more Grand Slam titles in the years to come.
