The day that Nick Kyrgios underestimated Pablo Carreño: “Without land, it wouldn't even be Top-50”

Pablo Carreño's victory over Denis Shapovalov in the US Open quarterfinals has allowed the Spaniard to stand for the second time in the Grand Slam semifinals American and, incidentally, silence some criticism of him.

It all started when Carreño beat Berankis in the third round of the tournament last Friday and journalist Ben Rothenberg wrote on social media: “The semifinalist of the US Open 2017 Pablo Carreño (yes, that happened) is in the fourth round (eighth finals) after beating Berankis by 6-4, 6-3 and 6-2. He will face the winner of the Djokovic-Struff. “

Rothenberg's criticism did not like the American tennis player Ryan Harrison, who replied: So is he a guy who has been in the World Top-10 and has reached the ATP Finals and has reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam? And that's worthy of a sarcastic comment on a good result. Lol, great info Ben. “

Nick Kyrgios joined the conversation, who was forceful about the Asturian. “If clay didn't exist I don't think that guy would be anywhere near the Top-50.” Later, the controversial Australian tennis player deleted the tweet, Although this morning Pablo Carreño has shown Nick Kyrgios, who has never reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam during his career, that he was wrong about his level.
