Carlos Alcaraz at Flushing Meadows on Wednesday
Here is the match to read in the live ticker.
Carlos Alcaraz has taken another step towards defending his title at the US Open 2023. The world number one defeated Alexander Zverev, who clearly showed the effort of the match against Jannik Sinner two days ago, 6: 3, 6: 2 and 6: 4.
Zverev didn’t start badly and was the first player that night to have a break chance. But then it was Alcaraz who took Zverev’s service to 5: 3 and safely served it. The second round was a clear affair for Juan Carlos Ferrero’s protégé. After that, Zverev left the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium and took a medical break.
Alcaraz has already defeated Medvedev twice in 2023
The short break seemed to help Zverev, he earned two breakballs when the score was 2-1. Which Alcaraz skillfully fended off. Instead, a few minutes later it was the 20-year-old from Murcia who took a 5-4 lead with a break. Alcaraz couldn’t take that anymore and closed the sack after a playing time of 2:30 hours.
