In the second set, the defending champion became more and more courageous as he fought harder, taking advantage of the overall situation, and successfully broke serve twice, winning another victory with 6:2. In the third set, Zverev adjusted his state, and the two sides fought 4:4 in the first eight games, but in the crucial ninth game, Alcaraz broke serve once more, and finally won 6:4.
