Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz hits a return against Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in their men’s singles match during the China Open tennis tournament at the National Tennis Center in Beijing on October 1, 2023/AFPPix: Carlos Alcaraz sealed a spot in the men’s semi-finals of the China Open with a straight-sets victory over Norway’s Casper Ruud in Beijing on Monday.
He then took control, breaking twice without reply in set two before finally forcing Ruud to slice a backhand into the net. Both men were more consistent in set two until the Russian, at deuce, hit back-to-back double faults to hand the crucial break to Humbert. The Pole, who recently relinquished her hold on the number-one spot to Aryna Sabalenka, enjoyed considerable success at the net on her way to a 6-4, 6-3 victory.“I feel like I was pretty patient. You have to be patient with her because she’s running for every ball,“ the 22-year-old said after the match.
The US Open champion was 4-0 up but allowed Alexandrova to level before ripping a backhand winner down the line to break serve and take the first set.
