Alcaraz (ESP) b. Rune (DEN) 4-3 4-2 4-0
In the other match of Group A, the two 18-year-olds Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune meet. The Spaniard climbed from number 141 to the Top 50 in 2021, triumphed in Umag and hit the quarter-finals at the US Open after celebrating his first career top 10 win against Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The match, spectacular for a set, certified the superiority of the Spaniard, centered, powerful and motivated.
I played a very aggressive match, I felt good on the pitch right away. I knew Rune won a Challenger last week, I’m very happy with my performance, “he said after winning in three sets.” Being here was an early season goal. I am happy to be in Milan and to play this tournament “
