A suspenseful tie-break
The world number 2 had difficulty taming the enthusiasm of the Chinese. In the first set, he only had two break opportunities, at 4-4. Wu brushed them aside before taking his opponent to the tiebreaker. It was the Chinese who started the best (2-0 then 3-1). Trailing 5-4, Alcaraz then scored two winning shots, a backhand passing along the line then a forehand slice block. The first set point, at 6-5, was the right one, Wu committing a long fault on the forehand side.
