Not an outstanding result yet
Since his phenomenal triumph at this year’s US Open – combined with climbing to first place in the world rankings – Alcaraz has not been reserved a new highlight. In Astana he lost in the first round against David Goffin (5:7, 3:6), then he failed in Basel in the semi-finals (3:6, 2:6) against eventual tournament winner Felix Auger Aliassime. Now, ideally, it should work out in Paris with his sixth tournament success this year. In any case, the start went well: Yoshihito Nishioka didn’t stand a chance (6: 4, 6: 4).
