“It’s been two years since I won a match here in Paris, so every win is like a gift for me,” remarked the 21-year-old. He emphasized the significance of taking the first set, stating, “It was really crucial for me to enter the second set with confidence. I just need some time to adjust to the court’s speed.”
With a strong performance and the withdrawal of world number one Jannik Sinner due to an intestinal virus, Alcaraz is in a favorable position as a leading contender for his first hard-court title at the Bercy Arena.
He will next face either France’s Ugo Humbert or American Marcos Giron in the round of 16.
