For the moment this is only a signal sent by the start of the first week. But the level of Carlos Alcaraz at the start of the 2025 Australian Open proves right those who hope to complete a career Grand Slam in the coming days in Melbourne.
In six sets of Tennis played, Alcaraz won four by a score of 6-0 or 6-1, which puts his margin over his opponents quite well. This Wednesday, it was the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka (6-0, 6-1, 6-4) who suffered the blows of the No. 3 seed. He got rid of the Kazakh Alexander Shevchenko (6-1, 7-5, 6-1) with the same authority on Monday.
Alcaraz, 3rd ATP player in the world, will face the winner of the match between Australian Jordan Thompson, seeded No. 27, and Portuguese Nuno Borges in the third round of the Australian Grand Slam.
