China Open: Alcaraz Cruises Past Italian Big Server, Medvedev Overcomes Gael Monfils
Lexus ATP Head2Head: Four-time major champion Carlos Alcaraz cruised past fellow 21-year-old Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-4, 6-4 to reach the second round while third seed Daniil Medvedev defeated veteran Gael Monfils 6-3, 6-4 in the first round of the men's section of the China Open here on Friday.
It was a challenging match for Alcaraz, who won the French Open and Wimbledon this year, as he was facing one of the biggest serves on the ATP Tour in Mpetshi Perricard as he had little time to settle into his latest campaign.
However, the top seed adjusted quickly to the firepower of Mpetshi Perricard and delivered a rock-solid performance in the first-round triumph. Alcaraz broke the Frenchman’s serve in the opening game of each set to overcome his fellow 21-year-old in 81 minutes.
