This Monday, Carlos Alcaraz is looking for his place in the round of 16 of the Shanghai Masters 1000. The Murcian will face off (12:30 pm) with British Dan Evans after his gutsy second round victory over Frenchman Gregoire Barrere (6-2, 7-5).
The Wimbledon champion starts as a clear favorite to continue advancing in a tournament in which he has never participated and which could allow him to get closer to his great goal at the end of the season: reclaiming the number 1.
Before appearing in court, Alcaraz already knew who his opponent would be in the round of 16 if he defeated Evans. It is the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrovnumber 19 in world tennis, which took almost two hours – with a delay of almost an hour due to rain at the end of the first set, in addition – to get rid of the Russian Karen Khachanov in two sets (7-6, 6- 4).
Before, in the second round, The Bulgarian defeated Australian Aleksandar Vukic (6-4, 6-3).
In another match of the morning session, the American Tommy Paul beat Frenchman Arthur Fils 6-4, 6-7(7), 6-4.
