A good start in Paris-Bercy for Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard lost to Chilean Nicolas in the first match from the Six Kings Slam final Jarry with the score 7-5, 6-1 in an hour and a half of play. A clear victory, but not without difficulties for the Spaniard, whose performance was fluctuating especially in the first set where he already had the opportunity to close the set in the ninth game with the server in his favor. With the 13th victory in the last 14 games played, Alcaraz awaits Humbert or Giron in the round of 16. An unhappy start, however, for Andrey Rublevbeat with a double 7-6 by Francisco Cerundolo, n. 29 in world ranking. A victory that complicates Russia’s road to the ATP Finals in Turin: eighth in the Race, De Minaur is in danger of catching Rubel who had no difficulties against the Argentinian Navy. Hubert Hurkacz is also outdefeated by the American Michelsen with a clear 6-1, 6-3 in less than an hour.
