Carlos Alcaraz continues to win. The Spanish player added another victory to his spectacular start of the year, which he aims to confirm with the Doha title, a trophy that is not yet in his collection. He is already in the quarterfinals after defeating a valiant  Valentin Royer, who dared to face Alcaraz but surrendered as Carlos took the victory with a score of 6-2, 7-5.

Once again under the bright night lights of Doha's court, mirroring his triumph two weeks ago in Melbourne, Carlos Alcaraz sought to extend his undefeated streak in the early season. This time, he faced a different French opponent from Arthur Rinderknech, whom he defeated yesterday. Valentin Royer, with a more intense style, less likely to come to the net, and more inclined to rally from the baseline, stood in his way.

However, challenging the world number one, who is currently at the peak of his career, proves to be a daunting task. This was evident from the start of the match with an early break by the Spaniard, putting him up 3-1 in less than 15 minutes.

Nevertheless, Royer did not back down; he persisted in matching Alcaraz's intensity, playing deep and attacking before the Murcian. He managed to save several break points on his next service game and nearly regained the break with his relentless approach. Yet, he fell short, and Alcaraz capitalized on the opportunity.

Confronted with the Frenchman's resistance, the world number one had to step up his game and broke Royer's serve for the second time, securing the first set with a score of 6-2 in 36 minutes.

A more deceiving result than it seemed

While the score might have been misleading based on the gameplay in the first set, it showcased Alcaraz's exceptional physical and tennis form. In other words, everything seems to be going his way at the moment.

Nonetheless, Royer did not give up; the 24-year-old continued to fight hard, trying to find an opening against the Spaniard's solid defense. He had a break point in the opening game of the second set, but Alcaraz managed to neutralize the threat.

However, that game signaled Royer's resurgence, and he finally broke Alcaraz's serve for the first time, building a 4-1 lead in the blink of an eye.

Frustrated by Royer's persistence, Alcaraz had to dig deep to turn the match around in the face of the Frenchman's aggressive play. Despite his efforts, Royer maintained the pressure and served to force a third set. Yet, Alcaraz's champion mentality prevailed as he broke back just in time to level the score to 5-5.

Having endured considerable pressure, the world number one did not want any surprises in this intense match from start to finish. Riding the momentum and taking advantage of Royer's frustration, Alcaraz broke once more, securing victory with a beautiful cross-court passing shot for a final score of (6-2, 7-5). It was a much tougher battle than it appeared, quashing Royer's resistance.

Once again, Carlos Alcaraz proves that anyone daring to challenge him must be ready for the consequences. Valentin Royer experienced it, and next in line could be Karen Khachanov.
