The men’s results
Carlos Alcaraz beats Grigor Dimitrov in the third round of the Mutua Madrid Open 2023. The Spanish tennis player wins with a score of 6-2, 7-5.
Dimitrov’s first service, Alcaraz responds perfectly and forces the next three shots, sending the opponent very far from the court to then score a scary winner. That single point is enough to describe the trend of the first set between the two: dominance of the Spaniard, with a few flashes of the Bulgarian, who is saved in two games of service only thanks to important firsts.
If that’s not there, there’s no point and the world number two easily…
