Carlos Alcaraz was one hundred per cent effective in break points in the first set: one chance and one ball won. The second set started with the same dynamic, with an aggressive de Miñaur in the return and Alcaraz not quite managing to impose the pace that suited him, although he was very solid when the games played their decisive points.

However, in the fifth game of the second set he took a step forward and took advantage of his second break point to take a 3-2 lead and a break up in the second set.

Carlos played the next game with great composure despite the fact that De Miñaur squeezed the rest. Thus, the player from Murcia was two games away from victory. In his next game with his serve, he didn't fail either. Tremendous his solvency in a surface in which he accumulates so few matches. He ended up closing his final serve and winning the match by 6-4.
