The way Alcaraz finished that, oof marone. Sonego played really well, as he acknowledges, and it was tough to play your best in the wind. But he thinks the two of them “made some good points” and “it was a good match”. Today was his 200th match on tour – he’s 20! – and being the killer that he is, Alcaraz says he’s got 200 wins, and wants to make 300. I much prefer the trainers he wears post-match than the one he wears during it, because yes, he changed.
A colossal forehand and a slam-dunk smash seal the deal, and Alcaraz meets Sumit Nagal or Jerry Shang next; currently, Shang leads 2-6 6-3 7-5 3-3.
