It is no secret that Carlos Alcaraz's American summer was not the best possible. Out of the three matches he played, the Spaniard lost two: against Gael Monfils in Cincinnati and against Botic Van de Zandschulp at the US Open. Well, a month and a half after those bad experiences, the Spanish player will have the opportunity to redeem himself this week at the Shanghai Masters 1000, as Gael Monfils will be his next opponent in the round of 16. The Frenchman is continuing with his active third youth and this morning he defeated his compatriot Ugo Humbert in three sets (7-6, 2-6, 6-1), thus securing a spot in the fourth round of the tournament. A very interesting clash awaits us in China, with Gael who is always dangerous on these courts.
