The Spaniard is recovering from injury but beat Thiago Seyboth Wild 6-3, 6-3 while Mirra Andreeva stunned the Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova
Carlos Alcaraz says he is feeling “spectacular” after taking another significant stride in his recovery from injury by reaching the fourth round of the Madrid Open with an efficient 6-3, 6-3 win over Thiago Seyboth Wild.
Despite easing past Alexander Shevchenko 6-2, 6-1 in the opening round, the 20-year-old noted after the match that he is striking his forehand more softly than usual to ensure that he did not damage it further. Still, he remained relaxed and felt no pain during the match, despite wearing a protective sleeve.Download the Guardian app from the iOS App Store on iPhone or the Google Play store on Android by searching for 'The Guardian'.
Further tests await both Alcaraz and his forearm as he faces Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany in a fourth round rematch of last year’s final. “I hope it goes like last year’s final, we know the player he is and the level he has,” said Alcaraz. “We are going to have to get our act together and give 100%, it will be a slightly uncomfortable match to play, but I think the people are going to enjoy it.
