Different Gear but Alcaraz Speeds Through at US Open

  • On Friday, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz defeated China's Yibing 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 at Flushing Meadows, advancing to the fourth round of the U.S. Open.
  • Returning from a five-month wrist injury, the Spaniard extended his Grand Slam match-winning streak to 17 and is bidding for a third title at Flushing Meadows.
  • World No. 113 Yibing challenged Alcaraz during the two hour and 20 minute match, in which Alcaraz committed 33 unforced errors. "I think today there was a really high rhythm," Alcaraz said.
  • Victory sets up a fourth-round meeting with American 20th seed Tommy Paul, who advanced by defeating Alexander Bublik in five sets.
  • Despite missing the French Open and Wimbledon due to injury, Alcaraz remains optimistic about his recovery. "Physically, I thought I was going to be dead after the first match, but I'm recovering really well," he said.
