Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the third round of the 2024 Paris Masters after a solid victory over Nicolás Jarry.
The Italian player was unable to participate in the tournament due to a virus, which opens up an opportunity for Alcaraz in the competition.
The young Spanish tennis player kicked off his campaign with an impressive second-round win over the Chilean Jarry, achieving a score of 7-5, 6-1 in a match where he committed only six unforced errors and delivered 13 winning shots.
“It’s hard to compare your tennis year by year, but I’m in a much better mental state,” Alcaraz shared in a press conference. He also expressed his desire to reach his highest level at this stage of the season and his motivation to win the tournament: “Last year, the court was probably slower, but it’s difficult to compare.”
