Carlos Alcaraz reached the quarterfinals of the ATP Beijing like a bullet, cruising past Tallon Griekspoor and sealing his victory at 6-1 6-2. The Spaniard delivered an outstanding performance where he dominated comfortably, allowing himself to showcase all aspects of his tennis. Carlos showed no mercy against the Dutch player, who struggled to navigate through Alcaraz's attacks, sealing his triumph in just one hour of play. A great day for the Murcian player who will now face Khachanov in the quarterfinals of the Asian tournament, aiming to maintain this intimidating level.

The match started with Carlos having clear intentions, wasting no time in this round as his focus was already on the quarterfinals. The Spanish player left no room for a Griekspoor eager to defeat him for the first time after three previous losses. However, Alcaraz set the pace from the start and exerted pressure on the Dutch player right from the first game. Tallon felt that pressure heavily, and his opponent's persistence yielded the expected results. Griekspoor's mistakes did not help him either, unable to cope with the speed and intensity that Carlos put into every shot.

Carlos shifts into high gear

With exceptional returns and natural solidity, the world number 3 created an insurmountable gap for his Dutch opponent, quickly taking the first set with lightning speed. Despite some setbacks in his serve, as his first serve percentage was not the best, Carlos compensated with effective second serves. Griekspoor struggled to respond to his rival's attacks, who raised the level with each mistake made by the Dutch player.

In the second set, things changed, but for the worse for Grieskpoor. Carlos did not give him any chance, showcasing immaculate games: everything was clicking, and he effortlessly tried everything he could. The pressure and despair of his opponent were palpable, with a clear desire to end the suffering. Thus, Alcaraz continued his dominance, closing the match with an ace, symbolizing the swiftness of this crucial victory in Beijing.
