Alcaraz already started well in this match as he won the first set comfortably by a score of 6-4 against the Russian. This meant that he was only one set away from qualifying in the playoffs and keeping his medal hopes alive. The second set was another one-sided contest between the two with Carlos winning the set 6-2 and making it to his first Olympic quarter-finals this season.
