Alcaraz earns another comfortable win in Madrid. Spaniard is making successful return from injury
MADRID (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz continues to make a successful return from injury at the Madrid Open.
The two-time defending champion cruised past Thiago Seyboth Wild in the third round on Sunday to earn another comfortable win.
Alcaraz won 6-3, 6-3 for his second straight victory in his first tournament after skipping Monte Carlo and Barcelona because of an arm injury.
“I think I played at a really good level,” Alcaraz said. “Coming into this match I was nervous a little bit because I didn’t know how my forearm was going to be. Thiago has big shots. He is really strong. I am really happy with the performance. It was difficult a little bit at the end, at 5-0 and then serving at 5-3. I am really happy to get it at the end.”
The second-seeded Alcaraz had made his debut at the tournament with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Alexander Shevchenko.
Alcaraz had been scheduled to play at the Monte Carlo Masters and he also missed Barcelona to try to fully recover ahead of the French Open next month.
