Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Shevchenko (72nd) in his debut at the Australian Open 6-1, 7-5 and 6-1, after 1h 54m. The 21-year-old Spaniard resolved the first match despite the curves of the second set and progressed to the second season of the tournament, in which he will face the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka, 65th in the world.
The Spaniard offered a two-speed performance: the authority of the first and third sets, in contrast to the tangle of the second. In any case, the one from El Palmar, champion of four majors and third best tennis player of the moment, managed to resolve the duel without delays and joined the number one, Jannik Sinner, who previously beat Nicolás Jarry 7-6(2), 7-6(5) and 6-1.
