This was a much cleaner match from Carlos.

"I think there were a lot of ups and downs in the match. Being set point down in the first set, I think Botic played a really solid match. Not too many ups and downs for him; really consistent throughout the match. I’m just really happy to get through. [I had to be really focused in the tough moments, to keep pushing and trust the good tennis will come again. I’m happy to get through a difficult match and have a chance to get better in the next round," Alcaraz said.
