The Murcian tennis player, number two of the ATP after this tournament, has lost in two sets (6-3 and 7-6 (4) against Fábián Marozsán, number 135 in the world. The El Palmar was always in tow of his rival, who threatened with a break ball already in the first game.
The Hungarian ended up converting twice as many winning strokes (30) as Alcaraz, who did not serve his usual power with the racket.
