Top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz won in straight sets despite Corentin Moutet's unorthodox shots, marking Alcaraz's 100th Grand Slam match, officials said.
- On Friday, Carlos Alcaraz beat Corentin Moutet 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 in their third-round match at Rod Laver Arena, with Alcaraz saying, `When you play someone like Corentin, you don't know what's going to be next.`
- Corentin Moutet, the left-hander from France, mixed drop shots, slice, lobs, tweeners, volleys, and an underarm serve that kept Alcaraz off balance and was booed earlier this week for his underarm serve on match point.
- After the match, Alcaraz said `When you play someone like Corentin, you don't know what's going to be next`, and he later joked he wouldn't chase every drop shot.
- One of the final 16, Carlos Alcaraz continues his career Grand Slam chase and will next play Sunday against Tommy Paul of the United States, who advanced after Alejandro Davidovich Fokina retired.
- Sabalenka, who said `I was watching some matches,` saved three set points and will face 19-year-old Victoria Mboko on the sixth day of a scheduled 15 days of competition.
