Ominous Carlos Alcaraz Sweeps Into Australian Open Third Round

Home » Ominous Carlos Alcaraz Sweeps Into Australian Open Third Round




Rampant four-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz dropped just five games in an ominous display of strength at the Australian Open on Wednesday to sprint into the third round. The Spanish third seed showed no mercy to Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka, who was taught a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 lesson on Margaret Court Arena in an 81-minute rout. “The less time you spend on court in the Grand Slams, especially in the beginning, it is going to be better,” said Alcaraz, who won Roland Garros and Wimbledon last year but is yet to go beyond the quarter-finals at Melbourne Park. .

“Physically I'm feeling great and I was just focused with spending as little time as I can on court.”

He is bidding to become the youngest men's winner in Australia since Novak Djokovic won the first of his 10 titles in 2008.

Should he do so, Alcaraz will also be the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam, with his sizzling form so far boding well for the 21-year-old.

He eased through his first-round match in straight sets and came out firing against the 65th-ranked Nishioka.

The Japanese player could barely get his racquet on the ball in the first set, winning just two from 16 points at the baseline and only four points in the entire set.

Alcaraz tweaked his serve in the off-season and is in Melbourne with a lighter racquet, with the dividends evident.

He pounded down five aces in the second set and won a formidable 91 percent of his first-serve points to give Nishioka no chance.

“I'm really happy with the serve today. It's something I worked on in the pre-season,” he said.

“In the first round I struggled a bit. But I spent more time yesterday practicing my serve, it's something I really want to be better.

“I'm really glad that today it worked pretty well and hopefully in the next round it's going to be better.”

The Japanese player did his best to make a match of it in the third set, but the gulf in class was too wide with the win a formality.
