Carlos Alcaraz dominated the match against Lloyd Harris and secured the victory 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(4) to reach third round at US Open.
World No. 1 needed only 58 minutes to advance from his first-round match against Dominik Koepfer, who retired with the score 6-2, 3-2 in favor of Alcaraz.
On the other side, world No. 177 Lloyd Harris entered the tournament thanks to his protected ranking (47) and defeated Argentine Guido Pella in the first round, with a score of 7-6(5), 6-4, 6-4.
The first two games started off competitive, with both players saving break points against them to maintain the balance. After an evenly matched start with a 16-point first game, the rest of the games didn't last more than five points.
Alcaraz secured a break in the fifth game and then, with the score 5-3 in his favor, he earned another break, clinching the first set 6-3. This also gave him the opportunity to start the second set with a service advantage after forty-four minutes of play.

The third set saw 'Carlitos' being less precise, and this time Harris managed to secure his first break on his seventh attempt, taking a 4-2 lead. The 2-time Grand Slam champion didn't hesitate and immediately broke back in the following game.
The match extended to the tie-break, and despite Harris's resistance, Alcaraz displayed his expertise to secure the match in 3 sets with a score of 6-3, 6-1, 7-6(4). In the third round, he will play against the 26th seed Dan Evans, who defeated Botic van de Zandschulp 1-6, 6-1, 6-3, 6-3.
