The Spanish tennis professional, seeded number two, clearly beat Argentine Luciano Darderi, who is ranked 32nd in the world, 6:2, 6:4, 6:0. Despite a medical problem with his right knee that occurred after an unfortunate step during a forehand shot, vienna.at documents that Alcaraz successfully continued the game after an interruption and did not lose another game thereafter.
The game, which lasted 1:44 hours, saw Alcaraz score 31 winners and 12 unforced errors. This improved his record in Grand Slam tournaments to an impressive 80 wins and 13 defeats.
