Alcaraz
World No. 2 Alcaraz only won the Rome Masters last week, and he has also shown his dominance on clay by unlocking his career titles at the French Open, Rome, Monte Carlo and Madrid.
Alcaraz's original first-round opponent was Japan's Kei Nishikori, but Kei Nishikori retired due to injury and was replaced by the world No. 310 Sepire, who did not have much trouble in the first two sets, and was the first to break serve, and the fifth game of the third set also became the key to victory, when Sepierri had taken a 40-0 absolute lead in the service game, Alcaraz was able to come back to complete the break, and this game also set the tone for the match.
Coming on as the defending champion this year, Alcaraz said he came on to stay focused and will continue to prepare for the game and maintain his best form.
