He matched his best Grand Slam result, though the story is very different to how he faced a few quarters of US Open who could not finish due to muscle injury, with Auger-Aliassime as a rival. More skilled in every way, he would go for German alexander zverev this Tuesday.

He recently annihilated the student of Sergio Bruguerawho had a bad time in round of 16 against Valencian ‘qualy’ Barnabas Zapatawhich he defeated 7-6 (11), 7-5 and 6-3 in nearly three hours of play.

Alcaraz and Zverev survived two match points against, against the Catalan Albert Ramos and the Argentine Sebastian Baez |respectively.
