The start could not have been more encouraging for the Spanish player. Aware of the danger posed by his opponent's serve, Alcaraz entered the first set determined to break early and play comfortably.

His opponent did not expect that level of intensity and focus, losing more than just a service game.

The Spanish player comfortably closed out the match and looks optimistically towards what the rest of this ATP 500 Beijing 2024 may bring.
