Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas engaged in a fantastic match on Friday in Barcelona. Once again, the eighteen-year-old won the contest after both players engaged in a fantastic match.
However, at times, Stefanos Tsitsipas appeared to be extremely nervous. An incredible episode happened when Carlos Alcaraz converted a set point in the first set. On that occasion, when Carlito was at the net, Stefanos decided to blast a huge forehand at the young Spaniard instead of trying a passing shot. Carlito had to duck to avoid the impact. Soon after, Alcaraz gave the so-called “Death Stare” to Tsitsipas and the Greek player was heavily booed by the local fans. Stefanos’ father and coach Apostolos also looked quite perplexed.
This is the video.
