Alcaraz, who defeated Shapovalov at the 2023 French Open, quickly took a 5-0 lead in the first set, and although he missed a set point, he still took the lead 6-2. In the second set, he broke serve in the seventh game to seal the victory 6-4. Alcaraz's win brings him to the top of his 14-game winning streak and he will next face 14th seed Dimitrov for a place in the quarter-finals, who narrowly beat French veteran Monfils 7-6(4), 4-6, 7-6(2) in the evening.
