Tokyo [Japan], September 27 (ANI): Spain’s six-time Grand Slam-winning sensation Carlos Alcaraz made it to the quarterfinals of the ongoing Japan Open competition, defeating Belgium’s Zizou Bergs in Tokyo on Saturday.
Alcaraz beat Zizou by 6-4, 6-3 in two straight games to move into the final eight stage of the competition. The Spaniard had twisted his ankle during the campaign opener against Sebastian Baez and needed medical attention, stopping the first-round clash for 20 minutes or so. However, against Bergs, he was back to his most free flowing version as all he needed was 79 minutes to move past the Belgian.
Alcaraz was fine with his forehand and was sharp around the net, improving his win-loss record to a stunning 64-7 for this season.
