Spaniard Carlos Alcarras defeated American Tommy Paul, ranked twentieth, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4, in a match full of strong strikes on Sunday, to reach the quarter-finals of the US Open Tennis Championship, hoping to defend his title.
Alcarras, winner of seven major championship titles, regained his best form in New York after an absence of nearly five months due to an injury to his right wrist, and achieved his 18th successive victory in the major tournaments thanks to an amazing performance in hitting the ball against another player who is distinguished by his powerful strokes.
Alcarras' serve was under pressure in the third game when Paul fired a stunning 100mph forehand around the net, sparking excitement from the Arthur Ashe Arena crowd, but the Spaniard held on well before striking at the decisive moment to take the first set.
Alkaras (23 years old) played a strong shot with the diameter of the court and quickly took a 2-0 lead, before he exchanged a break with Paul, and easily passed through the remaining games to achieve an overwhelming lead.
Although most of the fans on the main court hoped that an American player would win the title, second seed Alcarras continued his strong performance, and came close to achieving his 13th victory over American players in the last four major tournaments without any loss.
After he slowed down his playing pace, his performance fluctuated for a while near the end, but he gathered his strength to deliver the final blow and book his date in the next round with the American Ben Shelton or the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.
