Carlos Alcaraz has qualified for the round of 16 at the Australian Open. He won with a score of 6-2, 6-4, 6-7, 6-2.
The Spaniard dropped a set, the third, in the tie-break. He made 54 winning shots for 50 unforced errors.
A fairly mixed result for the world No. 3 who will have to raise his level of play in the next round.
In a still very offbeat tone, we asked him during the post-match interview what tattoo he would get if he won the tournament in Melbourne.
-He replied: “It will be a kangaroo, of course. »
Carlos Alcaraz became the fourth player in the Open era to win 10 men’s singles matches in each of the four Grand Slam tournaments before turning 22, after Mats Wilander, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
He will face the winner of the match between Aleksandar Vukic and Jack Draper in the round of 16.
