Carlos Alcaraz (1) 2-3 6-4 Alexander Zverev* (3) Wow! Alcaraz is here, there, and everywhere as Zverev moves him around the court, before finally being put away with a backhand sent behind him at the end of a 13-shot rally. A really good return levels things up but Zverev moves back ahead with a serve Alcaraz can’t return.
Alcaraz sends a baseline forehand return into the net to fall behind 40-15 and Zverev sees him off with an ace.
