The men’s defending champion secured his place in the third round, as Carlos Alcaraz prevailed in a four‑set victory over Jaime Faria in yesterday’s final match on Arthur Ashe.
The eventual 4‑6, 6‑0, 6‑3, 6‑2 triumph was bolstered by Faria’s decline in performance, particularly on his own serve, as Alcaraz found his rhythm.
The opening set exposed weaknesses in the No. 2 seed’s game that rival contenders will surely have noted, should they face each other later in the tournament.
Given how early it is in Alcaraz’s return from wrist surgery, the performance offers encouragement, and he will aim to build on this resilience in the rounds ahead.
A third‑round encounter with Wu Yibing presents an opportunity for Alcaraz to further his comeback and gain additional momentum.
