Carlos Alcaraz ready after one match at ATP tournament in Montreal | Tennis

Alcaraz reached the final in the last two tournaments in which he participated, in Umag and Hamburg. He lost to Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti respectively. In the eighth finals of the tournament in Montreal, Paul will face the Croatian Marin Cilic or the Russian Karen Khachanov. Botic van de Zandschulp will play in the second round against Briton Cameron Norrie later today.

Alcaraz took the first set after a tiebreak. The second set was also not decided after twelve games. In the tiebreak it was a nice battle, with Paul as the winner. In the fourth game of the third set, Alcaraz handed in his serve and he couldn’t get over that deficit. In the eighth game, on his own service, the Spaniard cleared four match points, but a game later it was still hit. The match lasted almost three and a half hours.

Iga Swiatek has convincingly reached the eighth finals at the WTA tournament in Toronto. The Polish number one in the world was much too strong in Canada for the Australian Ajla Tomljanovic (72nd in the world ranking): 6-1 6-2. After just over an hour, the 21-year-old Swiatek immediately hit the first match point.

Demi Schuurs started well in the doubles in Toronto. With her partner Desirae Krawczyk from the United States, the 29-year-old Dutch won against the Russian Liudmila Samsonova and the Italian Martina Trevisan: 6-1 6-2. In the next round, the Chinese duo Xu Yifan and Yang Zhaoxuan await.
