Alcaraz Advances to US Open Second Round

The 23-year-old Spaniard needed two hours and 39 minutes to secure victory over his 23-year-old Portuguese opponent, who was ranked 73rd in the world. Faria claimed the opening set but couldn't maintain his momentum against Alcaraz's powerful game.

The Spanish star will now face Chinese player Yibing Wu (113th) in the next round. Other Spanish players Dani Mérida and Paula Badosa also progressed, while Rafa Jódar and Jaume Munar were eliminated. musojam.blog
