It took just over an hour for Carlos Alcaraz to make his way to the quarterfinals of the Conde de Godó 2025. The Spaniard, currently ranked number two in the world, defeated Laslo Djere with a final score of 6-2 and 6-4 in 1 hour and 10 minutes of a match where he showcased great shots along with the confidence that was present throughout. Despite Laslo raising his level, it was not enough to prevent a victory with little trouble for Alcaraz.

From the early exchanges, Djere made his intentions clear with demanding points, typical of clay courts, although the Serbian's errors tipped the balance in Alcaraz's favor from the start. Alcaraz remained strong, under the watchful eye of Juan Carlos Ferrero, who had already joined the Spaniard's team. With intense legs, not allowing the Serb to gain rhythm, Carlitos constantly resisted while delivering powerful winners with his forehand.

At a cruising speed, but without unnecessary hurry, the player from Murcia relieved himself of any possible pressure by dominating both the scoreboard and the game from the first minute, shutting the door on Laslo's attempts to close the gap. Ruthless with his first serves, the world number two claimed the first set of the match in just 31 minutes.

Alcaraz remains in control despite a moment of inspiration from Djere

Freed from those initial nerves, Laslo significantly raised his game, improving the accuracy of his shots, pushing the lines to their limits. The good moment for the Serbian player took its toll on Carlitos, who promptly reconnected to overcome a brief disadvantage. Having overcome the tough moment, the Spaniard accelerated again to turn the pace of the match around. Connected with himself at all times, the player from Murcia comfortably concluded a match that could have posed many problems but now sees him in the quarterfinals of the Conde de Godó 2025, where he awaits the winner of Fearnley vs De Miñaur.
