Andy Murray has taken to social media to troll Carlos Alcaraz as the world No. 2 prepares to face Sergio Garcia in a round of golf. The Spaniard is through to the US Open semi-finals and has two days to prepare for his meeting with Novak Djokovic. And in true Alcaraz style, he’ll be off to the golf course.
Alcaraz had Garcia in the stands for his match against Jiri Lehecka on Tuesday, and then told the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd they’d already booked a round of golf for Wednesday. The five-time Major winner thought Garcia would only need to give him a 15-shot lead, but Murray doesn’t agree.
Speaking after his 6-4 6-2 6-4 victory in the quarters on Tuesday, Alcaraz said: “I would say I have a really difficult round tomorrow against Juanki, Sergio Garcia is there as well.
“So I have a really difficult one, but I will play for sure. I mean, he has to give me between 10 to 15 shots. I think it’s going to be great. I’m not that good, Sergio, come on!”
However, Murray believes the 2017 Masters winner will need to give Alcaraz a much bigger advantage if he wants to have any chance of winning.
“I gave him about 12 shots and smoked him so I’d imagine Sergio would need to give him 25,” the 2012 US Open champion tweeted.
